Modern methodology offers theoretical toolkit which allows us to investigate the culturally - significant constants in the inter- nal experience of the person. Here belong the concepts of experience, medical experience, archetypes of the collective unconscious, the vital world. The address to the mythological tradition, the vital world of the person of traditional culture allows us to single out the steady structures, to find out the universal medical archetypes in medicinal sphere, and thus to investigate, a phenomenon of «medicines of symbolical action» (M.
