ABSTRACT

Siddha is one of the oldest systems of healthcare adopted by ancient traditional healers like “Siddhars”. Siddha system has marked best in recent times because of known side effects caused by conventional allopathic medicines. The awareness and promotion of practicing Indian medicines has increased consistently in recent years. Still now there is no proper documentary or literature evidence available for most of the novel formulations in siddha system of medicine. The main objective of the present research work is to carry out the phytochemical evaluation of the formulation Thippiliyathi chooranam (TYC) and to establish the basic category of bioactive components responsible for the therapeutic activity of TYC. This drug comprises of unique combination of two formulations such as Thripala and Thrikaduku along with some more herbs. As per literature evidence TYC is presently prescribed for clinical conditions like arthritis, psoriasis, management of dropsy, ascites etc. This effort will generously explore the documentary based evidence of novel formulations like TYC among the population and will fruitfully make the usage of TYC.
