Abstract

Viranam is compared with the skin ulcers of modern science with reference to its definition, aetiology, classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. Forty patients were selected from different age and sexes from Post Graduate department of Sirappu Maruthuvam for study purposes. Among them 25 cases were treated as Out patients and 15 cases were treated as In patients. • Detail history of the patients was collected from them before starting the treatment. • Various Siddha diagnostic tools like uyir thathukkal, udal thathukkal and enn vagai thervugal were used and the data obtained from the methods were recorded in the proforma. • The diagnosis was endorsed by modern techniques. • The trial drugs are KUKKIL CHOORNAM as Internal medicine and VIRANA SANJEEVI THYLAM as External medicine. • Along with medication, the patients were advised over their dietary habits and personal hygiene. • The efficacy of the drugs was studied by pharmacological analysis and Biochemical analysis. The pharmacological studies revealed that the trial drugs had significant wound healing effect and anti-inflammatory action. • Daily progress of all the patients was noted. • No side effects were reported during and after the course of the treatment. • The observations made during the clinical study shows that the drugs Kukkil choornam and Virana sanjeevi thylam were clinically effective. CONCLUSION: People from all over the world are looking today for safer and effective traditional treatment for diseased conditions with minimum negative offshoots.
