Abstract

A study of diseases or symptoms and treatment procedures in the Krasai scripture, which appears in the Textbook of Medicine, Royal Issue of Rama V, Volume 1, was a qualitative investigation based on the study recorded in old textbooks. The comprehensive analysis and transcription of the recorded data was the first step in this study. Then, using the processed data from the study, they categorize the knowledge according to a defined definition and the Krasai scripture's procedures for curing diseases.


The results showed that traditional Thai medicine had 22 diseases, 4 symptoms, and 79 pharmacological therapy formulas in the Krasai scripture from the Royal Textbook of Medicine, Rama V, Volume 1. This study's findings provide an excellent beginning point for the development of Thai traditional medical knowledge, which has been documented in textbooks passed down from generation to generation. It can also be used as a guideline for exploring diseases and symptoms of Thai traditional medicine in the public health service system. As a result, there will be more options for public health care that are both diverse and effective.
