The development of empirical medicine of the Mesolithic period is closely connected with the worldview, religious beliefs and beliefs of primitive men. The difficulty in studying medicine of this period is due to the lack of written sources of information. The use of the method of reconstruction on the basis of multifactor analysis and comparison of historical events, the results of archaeological, climatogeographic, paleobotanical, paleozoological, paleopathological and ethnographic studies, socio-economic activities of people, their religious beliefs and worldview allows to present the peculiarities to their health. An important source of information is the art of primitive society, its symbolic and symbolic system, which most accurately reflects the worldview and beliefs of man, the attitude to their health.
Key Words: Mesolithic, history of medicine, empirical medicine, primitive beliefs of the Mesolithic period.
