The presented article is devoted to the analysis of one of the broad groups of miraculous objective realities – means of healing and revitalization. The study was conducted on the material of Kara-chay-Balkarian magical fairy-tales (including magical-heroic ones), identified by the method of continuous sampling. The work also used descriptive, comparative, axiological and structural methods of analysis. It is noted, that this category can be conditionally divided into two large groups: medicinal agents and means of revitalization. In turn, the first group can be divided into means of curing diseases, restoring vision, restoring lost parts of the body, and healing wounds. This also includes means of getting rid of infertility, as well as promoting immaculate conception. The second group is not so numerous and in some cases is closely related to the wonderful objec-tive realities of the first group. It is also noted, that the means of revival in a number of points converge with the group, called «Guardians of the soul / guarantor of life». The analysis showed, that the considered category of miraculous object realities is quite extensive and is presented in detail in Karachay-Balkarian magical and magical-heroic fairy-tales and not only performs an in-formational and entertaining function, but also participates in the plotting and development of the action. It reflects the ancient pagan and magical views of the creator people, as well as their eter-nal desire for immortality and life without disease. It is concluded, that further systematization and study of wonderful objects will not only fill another gap in national fairy-tale studies, but will also help resolve many issues, related to the ethnic and linguistic picture of the world, the history of the development of the spiritual and material culture of the creator people. In addition, the re-sults of the study can be used in conducting comparative studies.
