Abstract

The presented article is based on written and ethnic-field materials collected from various regions of Azerbaijan. The article notes that in the times when scientific medicine could not take a large part of the nation's life, people's healers treated various diseases with empirical methods and gained rich experience in this field. These folks, who were known as tebib (healer), logman (healer), synigchy (chiropractor), mamatch (midwife), etc., were involved in treating various diseases. Medicinal herbs, minerals, as well as products of animal origin have been widely used in the treatment of diseases.
