Ancient maarambas (specialists in Tibetan medicine) used medicine and tantra to treat any disease. It is clear from the text that some medically difficult diseases treated with tantra methods in addition to the detailed instructions on how any diseases originated, how to treat them, and what the result of the treatment would be. Also, you can recognize the names of any medical plants and diseases, which named differently in Tibetan and Mongolian languages. For example, dandelion (#<- 3R%- ,); garlic(|RJ- $ .,), Carum buriaticum ($RJ- ~R.,); pomegranate-(?J- :V,), antlers(>- <,) - ; 
γaniraqu – speechless disease; γalǰaγuraqu – faint disease; ungγasun – wool disease or typhoid disease...ect.
The book included not only the method of curing each disease such as killing\removing germs, improving physical activity, reducing swelling, expectorating, laxative, sexually transmitted diseases, infantive stool disease, and diarrhea, but also the instructions for the use of medicine too. 
Therefore, it is crucial to standardize the terms of diseases and medicines in the translations of Lkhantab by making clear explanations in the future.
