Madeshwari K, Kingsly A — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 17:59:43 +0000

The Siddhars classified the disease into 4448. In Siddha system of medicine, the symptoms of Kuruthiazhal(Rathapitham) may be correlated with Hypertension mentioned in Noikalukku Siddha parikaram. Although Siddha system is stuffed with more information on above fields there is a lack of scientific based evidence, and Siddha classical literature searches dragging its height.To attract the view of scientific world it is needed to prove our medicine with valid updation. To attain this a comprehensive researched literature review is needed. This is my first step to compile all the necessary information about plants for kuruthiazhal based on taste.

Marijothi M, Kingsly A — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:38:03 +0000

In the Siddha system, various effective Siddha drugs are mentioned in classical Siddha texts and manuscripts written by ancient Siddhar scientists who introduced it in India.Therefore identification and scientific validation of an effective Siddha drug to prevent and control the Paarisa vaayu (stroke or hemiplegia) is very essential in this current world.The symptoms of ‘paarisa vayu’ may be correlated with the symptoms of Hemiplegia in the modern medicine. Hemiplegia means paralysis one half of the body including lower half of the face, upper and lower extremities due to opposite side pyramidal lesion. The most common cause of Hemiplegia is Stroke, which damages the corticospinal tracts in one of the hemisphere of the brain. Other causes of hemiplegia include trauma, spinal cord injury, brain tumors and brain infections.So, I have selected a “UPPU PARPAM” is a poly mineral formulation which is exclusively indicated for Paarisa Vayu (hemiplegia) which is mentioned in Siddha literature of Kannusamy Parambarai Vaithiyam Pg.No.353. It was determined that Uppu parpam contains calcium, sulphate, chloride, carbonates, and ferrous iron, which improved therapeutic action based on biochemical analysis.

Swathidharsini R; Antony Duraichi R — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:56:43 +0000

The Siddha system of medicine is a traditional medical system which relies on fundamental principles such as Pancha boothas (fire, water, air, earth and space) and 96 thathuvas. According to this system there are three vital life factors (Vatham, pitham and kabam) which were responsible for good health. The polyherbal formulation Thathu pushti chooranam is a classic Siddha medicine which was mentioned in Anuboga vythia brama rahasiam (part 6) for thathu pushti and balam. Infertility is the inability of a sexually active, non-contracepting couple to achieve pregnancy in one year. Infertility is a commonly encountered problem in approximately 15% of couples who wish to conceive. In the male reproductive system, infertility is most commonly caused by problems in the ejection of semen, absence or low levels of sperm, or abnormal shape (morphology) and movement (motility) of the sperm. Decreased number of spermatozoa (oligozoospermia), decreased motility (asthenozoospermia) and many abnormal forms on morphological examination (teratozoospermia), usually these abnormalities come together and are described as the oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT) syndrome which are all one of the causes for infertility. The objective of the study is to evaluate the compounds present in the polyherbal Siddha formulation Thathu pushti chooranam. The biochemical analysis of Thathu pushti chooranam reveals the presence of ferrous iron, amino acid and chloride. The compounds present in the chooranam will enhance the therapeutic action of the drug.

Selvi T, Antony Duraichi R — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 18:11:49 +0000

Suvasa kudori chenduram is one of the traditional Siddha medicine used specially for Bronchial asthma. Siddha medicines has high therapeutic value but standardization is very essential nowadays to get wider knowledge of the drug for safer use. Characterization paves a major role for the standardization of the drug. FTIR characterization will help to determine the functional group present in the drug. Suvasa kudori chenduram was prepared according to literature and subjected into characterization through FTIR instrument and it revealed the presence of functional groups O-H,S=C, P-H, NCO,CN,N=C=S, C=O,C=C respectively. It indicates the presence of functional groups primary amines, amine salt, alcohol, thiol, isothiocyanate, anhydride, conjucated anhydrite, oxime, nitro compound, aldehyde, sulfonyl chloride, alkene, halo compound, aliphatic amides. These functional groups has immune modulatory, broncho dilator, analgesic, anti-bacterial activities, which helps in the treatment in Bronchial asthma.
