Prof. Dr. R.S. Ramaswamy, Director General, Central Council for Research in Siddha, (Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India) Arumbakkam, Chennai-600 106. Siddha system of medicine is one of the very ancient Indian Systems of Medicine (and at present one of the AYUSH systems), widely practised in southern states of India especially Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. The Central Council for Research in Siddha, an autonomous body functioning under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has, of late, started its Siddha clinical research units/ centres in New Delhi and Bengaluru. A line of eighteen Siddhars like Agathiyar, Pulathiyar, Bogar, Pulippani, Theraiyar, Thirumoolar, Yugimuni, et al primarily contributed to the development of this system which was traditionally handed down to the posterity by their disciples. Around the middle of the 20th Century, Siddha education became institutionalised and at present there are 11 Siddha medical colleges (10 in Tamil Nadu and one in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala). The Siddhars were spiritual scientists who, with their intuitive powers, found out the properties and therapeutic uses of herbs, minerals and substances of animal and marine origin. They evolved a number of herbal, mineral and herbo-mineral formulations for a number of indications. Siddhar Agathiyar is called the Father of Siddha medicine by virtue of his significant contributions to the field of Siddha. To create public awareness on a large scale, it has become customary nowadays to identify a particular day of a particular month in a year and name it as a day of National or International importance based on a specific issue. On the same lines, the birthday of Siddhar Agathiyar coincident with his birth star Ayilyam in the Tamil month of Margazhi was named as “Siddha Day” after due consideration by an expert committee constituted by CCRS and approved by the ministry of AYUSH. As per the approval, it was decided to observe Siddha Day every year on the birth day of Agathiyar. Accordingly (after the conveyance of approval by the ministry of AYUSH) the first Siddha Day happens to be on 4th January 2018. It was decided to celebrate the first Siddha Day in a grand manner of course with the support of the Ministry of AYUSH. The Central council for Research in Siddha has been entrusted with work of organising the first Siddha day celebration. CCRS organises this celebration in collaboration I


with the Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy, Government of Tamil Nadu, The Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G.R Medical University and National Institute of Siddha. As a prelude to this Siddha day event and in commemoration of Siddhar Agathiyar, CCRS organised (as suggested by the ministry of AYUSH) a two-day National Seminar on “Glory of Siddhar Agathiyar and his contributions to Siddha System of Medicine” on 26th and 27th of August 2017 in Chennai. The main purpose of organising this seminar was to gather as much information as possible about the life history of Agathiyar and his contributions to the Siddha medicine and also other areas and bring out a monograph to be released on the first Siddha Day. Accordingly from the information shared by the eminent speakers and from the research papers presented by the Siddha students, teachers, research scholars and other experts during the seminar and by seeking information on Agathiyar and his works from various other sources, a monograph on Siddhar Agathiyar has been developed by CCRS and it is being released on the first Siddha Day. In commemoration of the first Siddha Day, various competitions –elocution, essay writing, quiz and short film making— for the undergraduate and post-graduate students of Siddha colleges have already been conducted by Central Council for Research in Siddha and awards will be given on Siddha Day. The celebration of the first Siddha Day organised at the campus of The Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G.R Medical University on 4th January 2018 is marked by many valuable events – Siddha stalls put up by the Council and other government Siddha institutions display informative materials on Siddha system of medicine. An exhibition cum sales of medicinal plants is arranged by Siddha Medicinal Plants Garden, a unit of CCRS located in Mettur. Siddha, varmam and Yogam outpatient clinics are conducted for providing free consultation and Siddha medicines for the public. Another highlight of this Siddha Day is organisation of a National Conference on “Prevention and management of lifestyle disorders through Siddha system of medicine” in the Silver jubilee auditorium of the university. In this seminar eminent speakers in the field of Siddha and conventional medicine deliver valuable lectures and members of teaching and student communities of various Siddha institutions present research papers (both poster and oral presentations). A souvenir containing the abstracts of the presentations is released on the Siddha Day. I am sure this first Siddha Day will create great awareness about the strength of Siddha system and benefit the Siddha students, academicians, researchers, stake holders and the common public.

Dr. J. R. Krishnamoorthy, Managing Director, Dr. JRK's Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., Chennai. I am very much happy to know that the first Siddha Day is to be celebrated as a grand occasion in recognition of Siddha system of Medicine in our country and the dedicated service of Siddha Physicians, both traditional and institutionally qualified. I applaud the efforts taken by the Director General of Central Council for Research in Siddha, Prof. Dr.R.S.Ramaswamy and his team, for implementing their onerous task of the Health Care of our countrymen jointly organised with Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy, Chennai, The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University, Chennai and National Institute of Siddha, Chennai. I am glad to be associated with the CCRAS and CRI(S) for nearly twenty five years in the capacity of member in various Central Committees and also as Honorary Consultant at the CRI Chennai. I hereby put forth the following suggestions for the growth and development of Siddha system of medicine: All disciplines of Research, Literary, Drug, Preclinical and clinical studies should be ruthlessly modified and restricted to fit in the Modern Scientific Spectrum. Refresh courses, P.G. courses in all disciplines of Science and the doors should be open for Siddha graduates to undergo PG Research studies on par with Modern Medical counterparts. The think tank of our country now demands uniformity in Health Care management; this probably may be the opinion of our futuristic Policy makers also. Appointment of Hon. Consultants in Modern and Siddha Medicines under various research disciplines should be reopened and more Siddha graduates are to be invited to study, PG Research studies. Scholarships should be initiated at all levels of P.G courses. They should also be provided opportunities to continue the Research study anywhere at any global University. With best wishes for the organisers, teachers, students and vaidhyars who have dedicated their life for the health care of our Great Nation. This Day is an important day and a mile stone in the History of Siddha Medicine. I look forward many more achievements by the young Siddhars while shaping the Future India.

Treatment of Cancer using Indigenous Drugs - A Trial Dr. C.P. Mathew, MBBS, MS. DMR, Retired professor of Oncology This trail is using Siddha drugs along with Allopathic drugs in the treatment of cancer. The provocation for the trial was an incident that occurred in 1983 in Kottayam Medical College Hospital. A patient with advanced cancer of Lungs was admitted in the chest unit of the MCH and was discharged in a moribund condition as incurable. He was treated by a Siddha Vaidyan and was completely cured. I was curious to know what exactly the drug was and the system of treatment. I came to know that the drug was Navapashana and the system was Siddha System. I went about meeting Siddha Physicians and collecting books in Siddha Systems. Siddha system is a medical system practiced in Tamil Nadu and southern part of Andhra Pradesh. Agasthar Muni along with 17 Maharishis are supposed to be the contributors of the system. So it is a very old system. Almost all the drugs in this system contain Mercury and Arsenic. Allopathic doctors are scared about Mercury and Arsenic. But till 1950 the only treatment for syphilis and gonorrhoea in Allopathic system was Mercury and Arsenic. Mercury preparation for IM use and Arsenic preparations (Acethyl Arsenic by May & Becker) were used in thousands of patients especially during the Second World War. It was in the 50s when Penicillin came into the market the Mercury and Arsenic disappeared from the scene. Till 1955 Mersalyl (Mercury preparation) was the only available diuretic in the market. If the urine is free of Albumin, Mersalyl was given intra muscularly. So there is no ground for fear of Mercury and Arsenic. Treatment of cancer with the available modalities is Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy have yielded only very limited success. Except a few conditions in most of the areas, there has not been any breakthrough in the treatment of cancer. It was in this background that a new trial was thought of using drugs in the indigenous system known as Siddha system. The result of this trial in more than 3700 patients is very encouraging. The drugs used are mainly compounds containing Mercury and Arsenic. After using this drug extensively for more than 34 years in more than 3700 patients, I can say with confidence that the fear has no basis. If carefully used these drugs are quite safe and immensely effective. I myself have consumed Arsenic for years without any ill effects. 2


Even though the different systems claim wonderful results, the fact is that no system is perfect. Every system has good aspects as well as not so good aspects. So, why not we combine the good aspects of each system and try to evolve a new system so that the suffering millions may benefit. My attempt was in this direction. I started this trial in 1984 with some selected Siddha drugs in some advanced Cancer patients in whom I felt that the allopathic system alone will not work. To my great surprise, I found that the simultaneous use of these drugs along with allopathic drugs produced some miraculous results in patients who were considered beyond cure. So I started extensive trial in every case where I considered the case was beyond curative therapy. The trial is going on a large scale. I am almost completing 34 years in this trail. There is a basic difference between Allopathy and other indigenous systems like Ayurveda, Siddha, etc. Allopathic system diagnose the diseases and treats the disease where as the indigenous systems treat the patient and not the disease. In short Allopathy is Roga Veda where as the indegineous systems is Ayur-veda science of life. In this trial I have combined Roga Veda and Ayurveda. The result is fantastic. Cases selected for the trial are those cases where there is extensive metastasis at the time of starting the treatment such as advanced cancer of stomach, colon, Breast, Liver, Lung, Kidney, Leukaemia and Lymphoma and also Brain tumours. In all these cases Siddha and Ayurveda drugs are administered along with Allopathic drugs. Observations 1. Complete cure in a few cases. Some of the patients living in good health for the last 15-20 years. 2. Adverse results of Chemotherapy are avoided or minimized. 3. Bone marrow suppression subsequent to chemo therapy is prevented. 4. No adverse effects noticed due to prolong use of Siddha drugs. Heavy metals like Mercury and Arsenic, causes vasodilatation throughout the body. Increased cutaneous circulation improves complexion. It is said the peasants of Steria- Province of Austria in Europe consume small amount of Arsenic daily to improve complexion in women and improve stamina in men for hardwork. The medicinal effect of Arsenic is probably the general tonic effect. The idol of Lord Muruga in Palani temple in Tamil Nadu is said to be cast in Navapashana ie Nine poisons. Four of 3


Arsenic, four of Mercury and one portion of Suphur by Bogar Muni and the legend is that he made three idols and he installed one in the temple and two idols he buried under palani hills. The abhishekam of Palani is famous for its medicinal properties. Even Leprosy is cured by the abhishekam. It is also interesting to note that the various medical systems in the world only Ayurveda and Siddha has a section called Kaya Chikilsa, otherwise called rejuvenation therapy. In some of my patients who are on Siddha drugs for a long time, their grey hair disappeared and dark hair appeared- A clear indication that rejuvenation is taking place. In summing up, my earnest appeal is that those practising different systems of medicine should sherk their false ego and work jointly to find a great solution for the great malady Cancer and save our own population from this tragedy.

Research experience with Siddha system of medicine in the management of Type II Diabetes Mellitus Dr. S. Thanikachalam, Chairman & Director, Cardia Care Centre, Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Hospital, Chennai Eventhough the average life expectancy in India is progressively increasing, at present it is 68 years compared to 35 years in 1947, when India got the independence. It is mainly due to economic growth, per capita income, infection disease control and literacy rate. Unfortunately while on one side there is economic growth which provide very comfortable level of nutrition, provided knowledge to escape from infectious diseases like plague, cholera, small pox etc. Imperceptibly there is simultaneous increase in non-communicable disease which are related to gross life style modification like diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, sendentary life, change in the personality, depression, individually and combination. There is an increase trend in morbidity and mortality especially affecting population prematurely and maims prime youth. The situation is formidable in identifying risk factors in the population which are conducive vascular disease, respiratory disease and cancer, leave alone enormous expenditure affecting secondary and tertiary treatment to the country and individual. Ever since independence i.e., simultaneous paradigm shift in pharmaceutical industry in developing drugs for diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cancer. The availability and cost of those drugs is so high not reaching 75% of the population. There is an increase in concern as a out of box thinking simultaneously to look for alternative medicine looking at their long history of existence especially in South India and that too in Tamilnadu.Thanks to Government of India and State Government encouraging development of the traditional medicine like Siddha,Ayurveda,Unani, Homeopathy and Yoga. Eventhough there is increasing recognition by the public to ingest commercially available Siddha medicines, there is paucity of acceptance to prescribe by the authorized person and to ingest by population. One main reason could be, most of Siddha drugs have not been revalidated by good laboratory practises and good clinical practices to authenticate their safety and efficacy. Even though the Siddha drug are in vogue prepared as sasthric preparation, their metal content, safety on long term ingestion also availability of those herbs in good quality to ensure purity of the drug as well as consistency of efficacy with each batch of drug that is received from the pharmacy. Realizing this as an out of box thinking Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, deemed University have evolved State of art in-vitro and in-vivo experimental centre with International Accreditation has taken up this honour job, eventhough it is not in large scale. Our experience in such 5


endeavour in testing poly-herbal preparation one for systemic hypertension (Venthamarai choornam) and other for diabetes mellitus(Madhumega choornam) gave us a pabulum that the Siddha system of medicine too have evidence based safety and efficacy in controlling hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and systemic hypertension in both in-vitro and in-vivo studies. Our experience with the Siddha specialist contribution in identifying and prescribing follow-up the efficacy has given a rich dividend to proceed forward in designing non-sastric preparation and also limited herbal composition drug for diabetes mellitus which were tested ( in-vitro and in-vivo) for the individual herb and the formulation for safety and efficacy. Two such preparation were filed patent on specific action on this unique occasion of first Siddha day, I’m privileged by the management, basic research person, the Siddha resource personnel’s who were actively involved in this study. But for their immense contribution together and individually, institution could not have achieved in this unique endeavour. Siddha compounds do have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory property without toxic effect on cellular centres tested in a reverse pharmacological technique to provide newer compounds for public at large, may go a long way in providing strategy both for prevention and control of non-communicable diseases especially metabolic diseases.

Major Health Challenges in Reproductive Women Dr. G. Sankar

Most Common Diseases Affecting Women’s Health: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Endometriosis Uterine Fibroids Gynaecologic Cancer HIV/AIDS Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Interstitial Cystitis Sexual Violence

My Concern: The above diseases plays crucial part in the wellness of women. Nowadays, the significant rise of PCOS is a major health challenge in reproductive women. Nearly 1 in 5 young women, and almost half the adolescent girls have the symptoms of PCOS. The symptoms are usually neglected or ignored until it manifest into PCOS, due to unhealthy food habits, less physical activity, sedentary lifestyle and hectic educational stress. PCOS serves as a platform for all NCDs. The increase in number of women with PCOS developing into IGTs is rising alarmingly, as WHO projects India to be a global capital of Diabetes in 2025. Evaluation of PCOS:  Less than 6 cycles per year – abnormal bleeding  Oligo or anovulation  Androgen excess symptoms  Biochemical markers  Transvaginal ultrasound  Naadi – an experiential technique  Neikuri – an unique observational technique  NIH 1990, AE – PCOS society 2006, Rotterdam Criteria 2003 PCOS – Diagnosis of Exclusion  Pregnancy Serum hCG  Ovarian Failure FSH  Hypothyroidism TSH  Hyperprolactinemia Prolactin  CAH 17-OHP  Ovarian Tumor Total Testosterone (esp if > 200 ng/dl)  Adrenal Tumor DHEA-S (esp if > 800 mcg/dl)  Cushing’s Serum Cortisol 8


Complications:  Infertility  Type II Diabetes  Increased Blood Pressure  Dyslipidimea  Metabolic Syndrome  Non – alcoholic steato hepatitis  Sleep apnea  Depression and anxiety  CA of Endometrium (Hyperplasia)  Abnormal uterine bleeding Treatment: Adolescent PCOS: A perfect blend of physical activity and healthy food consciousness is enough with little bit of simple medications as follows:  Day 1 – 7: 1 Betel Leaf + 1 Pepper chewed  Karisalai Karpam + Kumari Legium  If periods not attained after 35 days: Keezhanelli Karkam gives good results.  This is continued till the menstrual rhythm is restored. Adult PCOS: • Kazharchi ch (Caesalpinia crista) 5g with palm jaggery, bd • Sadhaguppai ch (Anethum sowa) 5g, bd • Karisalai Karpam (Eclipta alba) • Nelli Manjal • Nerunjil (Tribulus Terrestris) decoction 30ml, bd • Yoga and SMET programs Adult PCOS with Fertility: • Agathiar Kuzhambu + Arasan Kozhundhu Purgation Malaivembadhy Thailam 15ml with rice water (D1-D3) • Vishnugrandi (Evolvulus alsinoides) (D5-D15) 5g, bd with water • Nochi (Vitex negundu) decoction 30 ml, bd (D14-D20) • Kumari Legium 5g, bd (Vaidhya Sigamani Kannusamiam) • Karpa Kudineer (30 ml twice daily with palm jaggery, D5-D25)

(D1-D3)

Or

Note: Depending upon the age, body constitution, symptom manifestations, work - single or poly herbal combinations are used with dosage titration. British Medical Journal throws lights on Precision Medicine considering above facts which is the uniqueness of Siddha System. 9


Specific Actions for Prevention:        

Educational awareness programmes in Schools Rescheduling physical education training classes Yoga for promotion of mental health, to reduce educational stress Medical screening camps in Primary Health Centres Special Clinics in District Headquarters Hospitals Advanced Protocol Module to be designed in PG institutions and Government Siddha Medical Colleges Advanced research centres to be established where medical treatment, strategy, research , educational series , service modules to be framed in Central Research Institutions “Women’s Health is Country’s Wealth”

Postural Disorders-Wry Neck-Management through Medical Varmalogy *Dr.N.Shunmugom Ph.D, Head of Tamil Department, SRI Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. **Dr.M.A.Kanimozhi B.S.M.S., **Chief Medical officer, Thirumoolar Varmam Research and Therapy Centre, Coimbatore. The upright well balanced position of an individual person is termed as Posture. Good posture keeps the bones and joints in correct alignment. Postural fault is a posture that deviates from normal alignment with or without structural limitations. The main factors contributing to the lifestyle disorders include bad food habits, physical inactivity, wrong body posture and disturbed biological clock. Working people suffer from depression, general anxiety disorder, insomnia, chronic back pain, spondylosis and other noncommunicable diseases. To decrease the ailments caused by occupational postures, one should avoid long sitting hours and should take frequent breaks for stretching or for other works involving physical movements. Regular spending of lot of time in front of computer and mobile phones lead to neck and back pain. The neck and back muscles get weaker and stiff. This may lead to common problems like headache, fatigue and exhaustion. Bad public transportation and faulty posture also lead to pain. Ergonomic chair should be designed based on human contour to fit the uneven pressure on joints and muscles may be miniment. Varmam is the vital air energy that helps in proper functioning of the body. It provides immunity to the body required. If the energy in the varmam point get destroyed or decreased it leads to various diseases. Excessive, or poor intake of food, indigestion, excess or poor sleep, trauma, faulty postures, strenuous work, carrying heavy loads, improper body exercises, unfit dressings, crowded places are some of the reasons for reduction of energy in varmam points. When this flow or function of air in the body is hindered it reduces the varmam energy. Varmam treatment deals with correction of lack of energy due to above conditions through various stimulation techniques. It balances the particular damaged varmam points by placing vaasi or energy. Varmam texts has various techniques of correcting the postural disorders like kyphosis, flatfoot, knee deformities, neck deformity(wry neck),club foot, etc. sprain/stress in the ankle ,back shoulder joint can be relieved using varmam physiotherapy method. But while dealing with neck sprain varmam text gives more precaution. Immobilisation, stabilization and sprain relief procedure should be followed in proper 11


manner .This article deals with the posture disorder of neck-WRY NECK and its varmam management. Torticollis or Wry neck is defined as fixed or dynamic tilt, rotation with flexion or extension of neck or head. It involves the sternocleidomastoid and Trapezius muscles which lead to neck pain, tremors in head, restricted neck movement, unequal shoulder heights. Laterocollis, rotational, anterocollis, retrocollis are the types of Wry neck based on the neck position. The cause of torticollis is still remaining unknown. Varmam says that the main cause for the above condition as Mental stress. Saint Vallalar says ‘Anthakaranam Sorvillamal Velai Seiya Vendum’, one should work so as not to make the anthakaranam tired. Each and every varmam point has 3 basic elements Vaatham, Pittham, Silethumam as configuration within them. We know that 3 Naadis Idakalai, Pingalai, Suzhumunai are connected with the vaatham, pittham, silethumam respectively. In which the 3 Dhasavaayus Abanan, Pranan, Samanan travels through Idakalai, pinkalai, suzhumunai naadis. Suzhumunai naadi present in spinal cord helps in balancing our mental health.In increased stress and depression Suzhumunai naadi gets affected. It in turn leads to loss of energy in the varmam point Thilartha Kaalam through which the 3 major naadis pass through. Thilartha kaalam is located in between the two eye brows where the nose meets, and is not in the surface but one paddy grain depth. Loss of energy at Thilartha kaalam leads to loss of memory, breathing difficulty, makes the mouth opened always and also loss of neck control. We can relate the wry neck condition with minimal loss of energy at Thilartha kaalam. We have dealt with 10 typical cases of wry neck in our Thirumoolar Varmam research and Therapy Centre, Coimbatore. Among them 5 patients are IT Professionals and others are Educational Professionals. They had strenuous work and high mental stress which lead to the above condition. Their neck muscles got weakened and stiff made their head to involuntarily turn towards the stiffened side facing the shoulder and some of them were unable to stay upright. They involuntarily put the head downwards and unable to hold it straight. We have corrected this condition by restoring energy in the damaged Thilartha kaalam. Suzhumunai Naadi otherwise known as Kathir narambu that passes through Kathir Elumbu ie. Spine holds the forehead along with help of Idakalai and Pingalai naadi. It helps in the head and neck movements. If any damage to Suzhumunai naadi or thilartha kaalam.

Higher Order of Siddha Medicines in Treating Challenging Diseases. (Sharing of experience) Prof. Dr. Jeyaprakash Narayanan.* *Chairman, Siddha Pharmacopoeia Committee (SPC) There cannot be two opinions in the view that Modern Medicine has assumed the position of the main stream in the health care programme. Its progress in surgical intervention is wonderful. Its service in combating dreadful infectious diseases like Cholora, Typhoid, Pneumonia and removing the disabling disease polio is victorious. When looking on the part of chronic intractable diseases like cancer, aplastic anaemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenia, multiple myeloma, exfoliative dermatitis, phembigus vulgaris motor neuron disease, muscular dystrophy etc its performance is very disappointing. The author throughout his forty five years professional carrier very generously using mercurials, arsenicals and other herbomineral preparations in treating the above ailments. The assertion of Theran that the mercurials and arsenicals are the supreme medicaments is the gospel truth of his practice. Most of the cases coming to him are coming only after fed up with the so called sophisticated modern approaches like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Some are coming only after fixing of ultimatum on their life by modern experts. Diagnosis of the disease or prognosis is not a problem because they are coming with enormous investigations reports like like biopsy, pet scan report etc. we are also receptive to such laboratarical procetures. We are also availing them for a follow up. Falling of the level of Alpha feta protein in the case of liver cancer and falling of PSA in the case of prostate cancer give a new hope to the patients about the prognosis and life expectancy of the patients The pharmalogical armamentotorium of the author contain very limited items of medicines like Thanga parpam, Poorana chandrothayam, Mahavasanthakusumakarm, Sivanar Amirtham, Kasthurikaruppu, Lingachenduram, Rasagandhi mezhuku, Nandhi mai etc. Siddha literature are containing and speaking much about more powerful mercurial and arsenicals Neelakandavalai, Navakkiraga vellai, Kalantha Gowri etc. Growing young Siddha scientists should bring them into practice. A section of the modern doctors are constantly infusing fear that Siddha medicines are damaging to vital organs. Proper counceling and accelerating related research are the ways to improve the prospects of Siddha Science. Even now it is not surprise to young Scientists of Siddha medicine that some modern doctors and their family members are the clients of the author.

FSD-SCA-001 Management of Cancer with a Novel Siddha Formulations - A Review R. Abinaya1, S. Kayalvizhi1, R. Karolin Daisy Rani2, M.D. Saravana Devi3. 1. Post Graduate Department of Gunapadam (Pharmacology), Government Siddha Medical College, Arumbakkam, Chennai, Tamil nadu, India. 2. Lecturer, Post Graduate Department of Gunapadam (Pharmacology), Government Siddha Medical College, Arumbakkam, Chennai, Tamil nadu, India. 3. Head of the Department, Post Graduate Department of Gunapadam (Pharmacology), Government Siddha Medical College, Arumbakkam, Chennai, Tamil nadu, India. Siddha system of medicine is an unique among the Indian system of medicine because it is believed to be a heaven which have been developed by the super natural scientist called Siddhars. Among the modern World, Cancer is a dreadful disease which threatened the human population. It is the second leading of disease which causes death in World’s population. Yearly 14.1 million people suffered from cancer. In order to overcome this dreadful effects, traditional medicines plays an attractive attention with anti-cancer effect, affordable, less cost effectiveness with less toxic effects. In this present review suggest that the Namachivaya chendooram and Gowri cinthamani chendhooram are justified by anticancer effects on HeLa cell line in in-vitro evaluation. The unique preparations of Siddha system such as Parpam, Chendhooram, Kattu, Pathangam are like life saving and miracle which were prepared by the Siddhars on the basis of nano - medicine. Nano-medicines symbolizes the enormous potential for improving the cancer treatment among the drug delivering platform. Recent advances explored that nanoparticles, which find the potential usage in bio medical field especially in cancer. This review is to explore our traditional system of medicine is our treasure that should be carried to the next generation.

FSD-SCA-002 Treating Yoni Puttru through Siddha Medications R. Abirami1 D.E. Abraham Prince 1 K.S. Maadhavi1 G. Subashchandran 2 1 3rd year 2 Lecturer

BSMS Government Siddha Medical College Palayamkottai Tirunelveli PG Department of Pothu Maruthuvam Government Siddha Medical College Palayamkottai Tirunelveli

Aim: To identify the most commonly used drugs in traditional siddha literature in treatment of Yoni puttru (vaginal carcinoma) Background: Vaginal carcinoma is a malignant disease. Siddha term Yoni puttru is more or less equivalent to vaginal carcinoma. Primary vaginal carcinoma is defined as arising solely from vagina with no involvement of external cervical os proximally or the vulva distally. Although primary vaginal carcinoma is rare gynecological malignancy its impact on women’s health should not be underestimated. Because 5years survival rate of treated early stage vaginal carcinoma is higher than that of advanced stages. There is no clear literary evidence for the symptoms of the term Yoni puttru. But there is literary evidence for availability of siddha medicine for the cure of Yoni puttru. We decided to collect the medications available in the literary for the treatment of Yoni puttru. Result: Siddhars have mentioned numerous varieties of poly herbo mineral preparations which are indicated for yoni puttru. Apart from our text books there are numerous preparations in the literary dating hundreds of years back. Most of the preparations have been collected from literatures of Agasthiyar. From the collection of 60 preparations from our literatures the chief constituents of the preparations are listed as follows in herbs Serankottai (Semecarpus anacardium), Ell (Seasmum indicum) and Kodiveli (Plumbago zeylanica), and in minerals Rasam (Mercury), Kanthagam (Sulphur) and Pooram (Hydragyrum subchloride). Conclusion: This work is just a primary initiative towards the treatment of vaginal carcinoma. In depth researches have to be done on medications of treating vaginal carcinoma. We conclude that the medicine containing the above mentioned herbs and minerals will be effective in treating vaginal carcinoma. Keywords: Yoni Puttru, Vaginal Carcinoma, Serankottai, Ell, Kodiveli, Rasam, Pooram, Kanthagam. 16

of Pharmacology, Melaka Manipal Medical College, 2Division of Siddha, Center for Integrative Medicine and Research, 3Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal. Background: Thamira Kattu Chendooram (TKC) is a traditional Siddha formulation used by to treat various cancers. No publications are available on this drug. Aim: The aim of the present work was to evaluate its anticancer potential in cell lines and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) mice model. Method: TKC was evaluated for preliminary phytochemical screening, mean particle size, zeta potential and chemical composition. In vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated on various cell lines by sulforhodamine B assay. The cells were observed for any nuclear changes under fluorescent microscope using acridine orange/ethidium bromide and Hoechst 33342. Expression pattern of GAPDH, B-actin, Bcl-2, Bax, P53, Cytochrome C, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 was studied by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot techniques. In-vivo anticancer activity of TKC was evaluated by Ehrlich’s ascites carcinoma (EAC) liquid tumor model in Swiss albino mice. Body weight, tumor volume, peritoneal capillaries, tumor weight, RBC, WBC, Mean Survival Time (MST) and % increase in mean life span (%IMLS) were assessed. Result: The physico-chemical evaluation of TKC revealed the absence of phytochemicals, Hg (11%), As (4%), Cu (3%) and S (26%). Particle size and zeta potential of TKC was found to be 466.8nm, and – 17.4 mV respectively. The IC50 values against HeLa, MCF-7, HCT-116, HepG2 and SH-SY5Y, cell lines were less than 75 µg/ml. Typical apoptotic morphological changes were visualized in nuclear staining of cells. RT-PCR and western blot studies showed that TKC induces apoptosis by intrinsic pathway. 19


TKC significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the body weight, tumor volume, peritoneal capillaries and tumor weight than EAC control. The RBC, WBC and MST have been reduced in EAC group, which was significantly raised in cisplatin and TKC. There was significant increase in % IMLS due to Cisplatin (150.59%) and TKC (123.55%) treatments compared to the EAC control animals. Cisplatin treatment showed renal and liver damage, whereas TKC did not show any toxicity. Conclusion: TKC was highly effective in inhibiting tumor growth with results are comparable to the standard anticancer drug cisplatin. Although TKC contained heavy metals, histopathology studies did not show any toxicity to the vital organs.

T. Mangad, Kanyakumari District. Tamilnadu. Cancer as a whole is not a disease which can be cured by using a single medicine; the management is based on deranged humour (Vali, Azhal and Iyyam) and the area of lesion. This Manuscript reveals the principles regarding the treatment of Cancer expressed by a traditional Siddha practitioner who has treated Cancer Patients by Siddha Medicines since 45 years. He has formulated the medicines as per the body constitution of the subjects. The said Traditional Siddha practitioner has treated the patient initially with a decoction (Adai Kudineer for one week with strict dietary restrictions) for the balancing of three humours, strengthening of the immune system and cleansing of body from stagnant impurities. Then it was followed by medication for 1 to 3 months according to the body condition of the patient; the patient has to observe the food restriction for six months even after getting the diseases cured. According to his traditional concept ‘Megavatham’ is the fundamental criteria for Cancer; most of the drugs indicated for ‘Megavatham’ in traditional practice are having anti-cancerous activity but that drugs will act as per the body constitution of subjects and type of lesion. Basically the treatment of Cancer should be initiated with Immunomodulatory drugs; followed with medications either directly acting on the lesion Pugai for Vaiputtru, etc., or systemically acting drugs for definite period. Certain type of cancer shows expression of lesion on intake of medicine and gradually that will gets detached off from the body, surgical removal at this stage would help a lot in curing such type of Cancer – Examples are Cystic CA, Sarcoma, etc. Hence integrative approach of Cancer treatment in collaboration with other practitioners and conventional system can bring a revolution in Siddha system.

Prostate cancer (purasthakola putru noi, purasthakola perukkam, purasthakola veekkam and purasthakola vanmeegam) is a disease that affects the prostate gland in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is predominantly seen in males between 65 and 75 years of age, but although prostate cancer seems to be a geriatric health problem, the imbalances that predispose to it begin much earlier in life. Most prostate cancers can be prevented by adopting lifestyle and dietary modifications. Clinical and experimental observations suggest that hormones, genes, heredity, diet, animal fat, and environmental factors contribute in the occurrence of prostate cancer. According to Siddha concepts, the exact cause for prostate cancer is kanma vinai (consequence of deeds). In addition, the following habits may also be contributing factors. 1. Intake of food items that increase body heat, 2. Excessive exposure to sunlight, 3. Chronic alcoholism and/or smoking, 4. Prolonged neglected spermatorrhoea, and 5. Excessive sexual urge and sexual intercourse. The above habits increase body heat and pave the way to increase azhal (protective factor). This increased azhal leads to deranging the humors vazhi and iyyam, and the deranged vazhi and iyyam produce the symptoms of the disease. The main symptoms of prostate cancer are described in ancient Tamil books such as Dhanwandari’s Vatha Varthi Kiricharam and Moothira Kiranthi (kiranthi denotes glandular swelling that denotes prostate gland). According to Siddha, disease is caused by deranged vazhi (Vatha malathu meni kedathu – Theraiyar). Hence, vazhi humor must be normalized by purgation therapy for maintaining equilibrium by using Agasthiyar kuzhambu or Magarajanga Ennai or Lavanagunathi Ennai. Any one of the following general tonics may be given for restoration of normal health: Amukkura Lehiyam or Thetran Kottai Lehiyam or Nellikkai Lehiyam. A potential rejuvenator may be given to rebuild the deranged humors with any one of the preparations such as Thanka uram, Poorna chandrodayam, etc. 39


Urinary outflow can be facilitated by any one of the following medicines: Silasathu parpam, Kungilium parpam, Jalamanjari, etc. Some of the useful Siddha Medications in the management of prostate cancer are discussed in this paper. Herbal based preparations are Amukkura choornam, Poonaikali vithai choornam, Thriphala choornam, Thriphala karpam, Seenthil choornam, Seenthil sarkkarai. Herbo- Mineral–Based Preparations are Thamira kattu chendhooram and Narasimma lehiyam. In addition to the above, Plumbum (karuvangam) and stannum (velvangam) preparations may be administered under the direct supervision of a qualified Siddha practitioners. To reduce swelling and pain of the prostate gland, the external applications mentioned below can be adopted. This is to be applied on a skin surface where the patient feels pain and has swelling in the lower abdomen. 1. Karchunnambu and egg white mixed together and applied externally to reduce swelling. 2.

Principal, Velumailu Siddha Medical College and hospital, Sriperumbudur. Traditional Siddha medicine which is prevalent mostly in Tamilnadu (southeastern India). In recent years there has been an emerging increase in the mortality due to cancer worldwide and therefore a lot of researches are being conducted to explore the anticancer agents especially from traditional medicines. For more than half a century, cytotoxic agents have been investigated as a possible treatment of cancer. Snake venom is one such cytotoxic agent that has been used as folk medicine towards the treatment of cancer since time immemorial. The concept of using snake venom for cancer therapy has also been indicated in the text “The Pharmacopoeia of Siddha Research Medicines”. Upon critical analysis of anticancer effect of snake venom through various recent research articles, it has been explored that snake venom components have high specific affinity and action on cells and cell components and are largely cytotoxic on tumour cells than normal cells. This effort further explores the possible mechanism of anticancer effect and the target action on cancer cells by snake venom. Keywords: Cancer, Snake venoms, Biotoxins, Apoptosis inducer.

FSD-SCA-025 Analysing the Nutritonal Value of Panchamudi Kanji – A Siddha Dietary Supplement for Cancer Patients through HPLC Shameem Fathima A1, Kanakavalli K2 Lecturer, Govt. Siddha Medical College, Chennai 2 Professor & Principal, Govt. Siddha Medical College, Chennai 1

Introduction: Malnutrition is a common complication in cancer, which varies from8% to 60% linking with diagnosis, clinical course of the disease, and measurement techniques. Nutritional intervention is necessary to promote increase functional status as a person receives intensive treatment. Protein- and energy-dense oral nutritional supplements are effective for preventing weight loss in malnourished cancer patients. Several studies have reported the beneficial effects of specialized protein- and energy-dense oral nutritional supplements to prevent weight loss. It is clinically important because under nutrition can lead to decreased tolerance of chemotherapy, increased infectious complications, and decreased survival. It has been shown that the nutrition support decreases the time to bone marrow recovery, suggesting that it may help diminish the toxicity associated with chemotherapy. However these energy drinks are costly and not easily available to remote areas. Hence we aim to investigate the nutritional values of panchamudi kanji an oral nutritional supplement mentioned in classical Siddha texts for malnourished persons. It can easily be prepared by the family of the individual and hence cost effective. Aim: To evaluate the nutritional value of Panchamudi kanji through HPLC and find ways to enhance its nutritional value. Materials and Methods: Panchamudi kanji is a dilute gruel that contains 5 ingredients namely, Pacharisi (raw rice), Paasi payaru (green gram), Kadalai parupu (Bengal gram), Ulundhu (black gram) and Thuvaram parupu (red gram). On HPLC analysis this Panchamudi kanji is found to contain 7 essential amino acids out of nine. Also the proximate analysis reveals its overall nutritional content. We are planning to improve its nutritional status by adding coconut milk and palm jiggery and thus adding to its nutritional value.

42


Conclusion: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy usually cause nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal mucositis, and dysgeusia, leading to food aversion, and it thus decreases food intake. The above study proves that Panchamudi kanji will be a good nutritional support that supplies essential amino acids which cannot be synthesized by the body and improves nutritional status and quality of life during cancer therapy, and hence improves tolerance to treatment.

FSD-SCA-026 The efficacy of Kalpaamruthaa for the treatment of Cancer: A look at a multifaceted Siddha formulation V. A. Shangkari1*, S. Santha1 Healthcare, Malaysia

1VCAN

Background: Kalpaamruthaa (KA) is a Siddha formulation comprising of Semecarpus anacardium Linn. nut milk extract, dried powder of the Emblica officinalis fruit and honey. It has been purported to be useful for a number of ailments including arthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Aim: In this study, we assess the efficacy of Kalpaamruthaa, a Siddha preparation, for the treatment of cancer. Method: Primary databases were Springerlink, Wiley Online, EBSCOhost, Google scholar, and Sciencedirect. Moreover, the references of key articles were hand searched. Search keywords were Kalpaamruthaa, Siddha medicine, cancer and derivatives thereof. The articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were further examined. Results: The results revealed the potential of the use of Kalpaamruthaa in the treatment of cancer. Lipid peroxide levels, which plays an important role carcinogenesis, was reduced to almost normal levels in hepatocellular carcinoma bearing rats following administration of KA. Additionally, KA restored the antioxidant and glutathione-metabolizing enzyme levels. Similarly, KA was able to thwart the increase in lipid peroxidate levels in rat mammary carcinoma model. Experimental studies also revealed that KA may also have other therapeutic effects in mammary carcinoma. KA was able to revert the levels of cytokines, CEA, CA 15–3, immunoglobulins, and glycoprotein components to almost normal levels. Moreover, KA was able to restore the body weights of the mammary carcinoma bearings rats. KA could also be beneficial in treatment of leukemia. Bone marrow and histopathological abnormalities in leukemia-induced mice were reversed following treatment with KA. In addition, KA ameliorated the adverse changes in the levels of the glycolytic, gluconeogenic and mitochondrial enzymes in BCR-ABL+ leukemic mouse model. 44


Conclusion: Evidence suggests that Kalpaamruthaa may be useful in the treatment of liver cancer, breast cancer and leukemia. However, well designed clinical trials is needed to solidify the evidence for the use of Kalpaamruthaa as an anti-cancer agent. There is remarkable potential for the use of Kalpaamruthaa for cancer. Keywords: Kalpaamruthaa, Siddha medicine, cancer, carcinoma

Traditional Siddha Medicine literature suggests the use of Vernonia cinerea (VC) decoction to protect organs from drug toxicities. Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the cytoprotective effect of VC in normal as well as cancer cells. Methods: Aqueous extract of VC was prepared by cold maceration method. In 96 well plate, various doses of FU, VC and their combinations were added to Human embryonic kidney (HEK293) normal cells and Human cervix epitheloid carcinoma (HELA) cells and incubated at 370 C for 48 hours. 5000 cells were loaded in each well. The cells were stained with sulforhodamine B, in which the amount of staining is directly proportional to the cell mass. The absorbance reading was taken at 564 nm using microplate reader. The dose and percentage cell viability values were plotted in an excel sheet and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated. Results: The IC50 values of FU in HEK293 and HELA were 14.5 µg/ml and 12 µg/ml respectively, which are the doses at which FU killed 50% of the cells. Whereas, VC did not attain 50% cell death even at 1000 µg/ml, which indicates the cytoprotective potential of VC. When the HEK293 and HELA cells were treated with VC after FU, there was an improvement

46


in cell viability by 40%, and 50% respectively, which means VC protected the normal cells and cancer cells from FU induced damage by 40% and 50% respectively. Conclusion: Neichitti kashayam has shown cytoprotection against FU induced toxicity in both the normal and cancer cells, in fact the protection is more in cancer cells. Future studies will be focused on identification of protective compounds and to restrict the protection only to normal cells. Acknowledgement: SERB for financial support

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. The characteristic symptoms of the disease are polyurea, polydipsia, pruritus and unexpected weight loss. Diabetes has become necessary to look for an economical as well as therapeutically effective treatment especially for usage in the developing and under developed countries. The synthetic hyperglycemic drugs can produce serious side effects like hypoglycemic coma and disturbances of liver and kidney. In addition, these drugs are not suitable for pregnancy women. There is an increasing demand by patients to use the natural products with anti diabetic effect. Plant drugs are frequently considered to be less toxic and side effects than synthetic drugs. The present paper was undertaken to investigate the preliminary qualitative phyto chemicals and evaluation of hypoglycemic effect of Luffa acutangula on experimentally alloxan induced diabetic albino rat model. The qualitative phytochemical analyses revealed that the plant was rich in alkaloid and protein and meager amount in saponin, tannin and phenol. The plant drug was found to be active in the albino rat model which decreased the level of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine and uric acid and increased the liver glycogen and tissue protein. Among the various concentrations tested, 200mg concentration of the test drug Luffa acutangula was found to be very effective. So, the plant drug can be used as a potential source of an effective anti diabetic agent in the formulations.

FSD-SDM-034 Management of Lifestyle Disorder “Diabetes Mellitus” – A New Approach in Siddha G. Dhivya, G. Kowsalya Sri Sairam Siddha Medical College and Research Centre Background: India is one of the epicentres of the global diabetic mellitus pandemic. Management of this disease in India faces multiple challenges. As many of these challenges are common to most developing countries of the world. WHO predicted that diabetes will be 42% increase from 51 to 72 million in the developed countries and 70% increase from 84 to 228 million in the developing countries. The countries with the largest number of diabetic people are and will be in the year 2025, India, china and U.S. Aim: To prevent the diabetic complications by suppressing the levels of methylglyoxal. Methods: Methylglyoxal will be an essential therapeutic target for managing diabetes in the future. Methylglyoxal is a by-product of glucose metabolism and its levels are seen several fold higher in both type 1 and 2 diabetic people as compared to healthy humans. Methylglyoxal has a toxic effect on pancreatic beta cells. Thus, plays an important role in the development of diabetic complications. Discussion: This paper emphasize the prevention of diabetic complications by supressing the level of methylglyoxal in diabetic patients. So, polyphenols have the ability to suppress methylglyoxal level and boosts insulin sensitivity. Conclusion: Many herbs like Linum usitatissimum, Vitis vinifera, Cyperus rotundus, Sida cordifolia are the rich sources of polyphenols, which may be administered to suppress the levels of methylglyoxal, thereby preventing diabetic complications.

Introduction: Designing a clinical trial, getting it approved before IRB/IEC, following the regulatory guidelines mentioned with compliance to Ethics and completion of clinical trial is a process demanding dedication and promptness. The role of a clinician when compared to that of clinical research scientist is better as the later has to deviate and pick his patients as per the decided protocol. When it comes to a lifestyle based research the intervention bank on participant’s behavior. The experiences encountered in a phase III lifestyle trial is discussed. Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus: Diabetes is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism characterized by increased fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels. The global prevalence of diabetes is estimated to increase, from 4% in 1995 to 5.4% by the year 2025. WHO has predicted that the major burden will occur in developing countries. Studies conducted in India in the last decade have highlighted that not only is the prevalence of diabetes high but also that it is increasing rapidly in the urban population [4]. It is estimated that there are approximately 33 million adults with diabetes in India. This number is likely to increase to 57.2 million by the year 2025. Impact of Siddha medicine in Diabetes Mellitus: Several therapies are sought for treatment, as there are certain limitations such as huge cost, side effects such as development of hypoglycemia, weight gain, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver toxicity etc. Based on recent advances and involvement of oxidative stress in complicating diabetes mellitus, efforts are on to find suitable anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant therapy. Medicinal plants are being looked up once again for the treatment of diabetes. Over 400 traditional plant treatments for diabetes have been reported, although only a small number of these have received scientific and medical evaluation to assess their efficacy. The hypoglycemic effect of some herbal extracts has been confirmed in human and animal models of type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization Expert Committee on diabetes has recommended that traditional medicinal herbs be further investigated. Indian Herbal Drugs for Diabetes Vol. 57


40, No. 3, 2007 165 Major hindrance in amalgamation of herbal medicine in modern medical practices is lack of scientific and clinical data proving their efficacy and safety. There is a need for conducting clinical research in herbal drugs, developing simple bioassays for biological standardization, pharmacological and toxicological evaluation, and developing various animal models for toxicity and safety evaluation. Conventional modern medicine provides a number of drugs of choice for controlling the blood sugar level in the patients of diabetes mellitus type-2. However, with the prolonged treatment doses of the drugs often needs to be increased to control the blood sugar level and a time comes when patient has to be switched over to insulin. Such patients become cases of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. With a view to help the suffering community there is a need to find a safer drug, which can be used to control the blood sugar level and such drug can be used safety for longer periods. Aim and Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the Clinical efficacy of Siddha formulation (Coded drug-D5 Chooranam) in controlling blood sugar level of the drug naïve patients suffering with Type-2 Diabetes mellitus. The primary objective is to study the Clinical efficacy of D5 Chooranam in Diabetes Mellitus and the secondary objective is to study the effect of Coded drug in lipid Metabolism. The Phase III study is designed in such way that multi-centres are involved with the sample size of 90 patients from three centres to be studied for a period of 90 days. The trial drug is a capsule of 500mg which is fixed in a dose of 4 capsules twice daily before food. Pretrial procedures: Standardization of the trial drug has been done as per the PLIM guidelines -- physico-chemical parameters, heavy metal analysis, pesticide residue, Aflatoxin, microbial load and HPTLC finger printing are carried out. The drug is safe in such way that all the trace elements are with in normal limits. The safety of the drug has been established in the preclinical studies with an IAEC approval (IAEC No: 05/Pharma/SCRI/2011). The drug is safe up to 5200 mg. The drug is safe in acute, sub-acute and chronic toxicity. In a dose of 5200 mg/kg, the trial drug proves to be anti-diabetic in nature. Adopting the IND template of ICMR, the study protocol has been developed. Proper care is taken in structuring the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and Patient Information Sheet (PIS) benefiting the study participant. The designed protocol has been submitted to the IEC and only after proper approval the study is initiated (IEC No: CCRS/SCRI-1/2011-12/04). The trial as per the regulation is registered under CTRI bearing No: CTRI/2013/12/004231. 58

2Faculty,

Cardiovascular diseases have emerged as an important health problem in India. High blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor and a better control can lead to prevention of 300,000 of the 1.5 million annual deaths from cardiovascular diseases in India. Poor adherence to medications is a major public health problem and remains one of the main unresolved issues in the management of hypertension. Hypertension or High blood pressure is dangerous because it can lead to Strokes, Heart attack, Heart failure or Kidney diseases. The World health organization estimates 80% of the populations living in the developing countries rely almost exclusively on traditional medicines for their primary health care needs. India has an ancient heritage of traditional medicine. Siddha system of medicine is an integrated part of Indian system, which is very potent and unique system when compared with other traditional systems. According to siddha system of Medicine Hypertension is represented as “Raththapitham”. There are many formulations prescribed by the ancient Siddhars for the management of Rathapitham. The most reliable Poly herbal formulation “Mahaseerakadhi chooranam” is used for the treatment of Hypertension from the literature evidence of “Theriyar”, Which containing important plant materials, such as Seeragam (Cuminum cyminum), Elam (Eletteria cardamomum), Athimathuram ( Glycerrhiza glabra), Elumichai- (Citrus limon). Each one of this drug are well known for its anti-hypertensive activity. The aim of this paper is to explore the literary evidence of its use in siddha system of medicine. Further studies needed to find out the active constituents, which is responsible for the antihypertensive activity. Keywords: Siddha, Hypertension, Mahaseerakadhi chooranam.

Background: Ratha pitham is referred to Hypertension in Siddha. It is considered as one of the most prevalent Non-communicable diseases next to diabetes mellitus. About 75 to 80% of the world population use herbal medicines mainly in developing countries for primary health care because of their better acceptability with the human body and lesser side effects. Hypertension is emerging as serious health issues among publics of urban than from rural. The long-term effect of this diseases makes the quality of life (QoL) becomes more worsen. Aim: To find out the safer alternative and prioritization of antihypertensive drugs from the herbal origin. Method: Because of urbanization and deforestation, there is a huge lack of raw drugs which motivates researchers to think of better and safe alternate herbs for the existing ones. Primarily the literary review was carried out on Siddha literatures and the plants indicated for Ratha pitham/Kuruthi Azhal noi were taken into the review. To find out the ideal antihypertensive drugs, Siddha principles on hypertension and ideal properties of their counterpart conventional antihypertensive agents including Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, vasodilators and beta-blockers were reviewed. Conventional clinical evidence shows calcium channel blockers, diuretics and ACE inhibitors as the preferred first line of treatment. Here we addressed and listed out the herbs includes vengayam, Murungai, Milagu, Malli, Thandri, poondu etc which have the properties for the first line of treatment based on literature review. Conclusion: This work reveals that the herbs indicated for Ratha pitham has ACE inhibition, diuretic, calcium channel blocking and vasorelaxant properties. This is the right time for all of us, to do translational research; reverse pharmacological documentation, finding out the solution for combating the raw drug scarcities etc. Key words: Antihypertensive herbs, Medicinal plants, Siddha medicine, lifestyle diseases. 97

The Siddha medicine is an ancient system of medicine which gives equal importance in prevention and curing the disease. Hypertension, an elevated blood pressure is a chronic medical condition in which the pressure in the arteries is elevated. Screening programs reveals that 25% of persons in the general population are hypertensive due to stress, obesity and physical inactivity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all infants should be exclusively breastfeed up to the age of six months. It is the normal infant feeding method and it is the only source of nutrition to the infants. Lactation insufficiency is the most common cause for the mother to stop breastfeeding early. Obesity, delayed childbearing age, cesarean section are the common reason for insufficient breast milk secretion. The use of breast milk substitutes increases the risk of mortality and malnutrition among infants. So Galactogogues are the only better way to overcome this problem. Galactagogues are medications or any substances which assist initiation, maintenance and augmentation of maternal milk production. Several medications such as Metoclopramide, Domperidone, Sulpiride, Chlorpromazine acts as galactogogues which may produce some adverse effects like restlessness, fatigue, dry mouth, breast discomfort, mental depression, anxiety, tremor and other dystonic reactions in long term usage. In Siddha system many more herbs and formulations are used for the purpose of breast milk production which can be administered to all postpartum mothers without any adverse effects. This study is aimed to review the galactogogue effect of herbs and medicines in Siddha medicine and create awareness among the postpartum mothers about the galactogogue herbs. The herb Thannervittan (Asparagus racemosus), Venthayam (Trigonella foenum-graecum), Nila poosani ( Ipomoea mauritiana), Aalivithai (Lepidium sativum ), Aamanakku (Ricinus communis), Ellu (Sesamum indicum) and Siddha proprietary medicines such as Thaneervittan Nei, Sowbagya Chundi Leygium are some of widely used Siddha galactogogues. This study is concluded that, the usage of herbs and herbal based Siddha galactogogue medicines are more effective and helps to improve the lactation in natural way. Further clinical studies are to be needed to confirm this effect. Keywords: Breastfeeding; Galactogogue; Siddha medicines.
