Abstract
Sinder (Limoniterra or goethite) is a Mongolian term that comes from the Sanscrit word ‘Sindura’, meaning ‘water weed’. Sinder has been used for medical purposes for many centuries. Khunkher is a place in Mongolia where sinder can be found year-round. Khunkher has spring-fed caves of sedimentary deposits originating from the cretaceous period. It is in this place that Khunkheriin sinder grows. Khunkheriin sinder has a reddish brown colour. It is both fl uffy and solid and crunches when compressed. It is organic in origin and comes from an alkaline environment that includes hydrogen with calcium oxide and mineralized composition with quartz such as: CaO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, MgO, Na2O, K2O, F2O5, MnO and T,V, Cu, Sc, Be, Nb, Nd, Ni, Pr, Sb, Sm, Sr, Ta, Y, Yb, Zn and Zr. It is a sticky substance with more than 20 macra and microelements. The hypothesis for this study was the quality of wound treatment with khunkheriin sinder depends on a mineral combination of Ca, Fe, Al, K, Si, Mg, Mn, Zn, Cu, P, and a hydrogen with calcium oxide and quartz combination. V. B Prozrovski’s method of extraction (LD50=9.35[6.3-13.5]g/kg) rendered the ointment harmless according to the K.K.Sidorov’s (1987) classifi cation. The result showed that if the raw material of khunkheriin sinder ointment was prepared by roasting the sinder at high temperatures, then the hypothesis was supported. An external wound on a mouse was healed within 11.6±2 days and a burn wound on a rabbit was healed in 17.8±2 days. The authors of this research study concluded that Khunkheriin sinder supports the growth of vessel in the bottom of the wound and it accelerates growth of skin epithelial tissue.
