Abstract

The author has selected the disease“UDHIRA VATHA SURONITHAM” for the dissertation subject, because it presents a major challenge to the clinical judgement. The chronicity, variability, tendency to exacerbate, unknown pathogenesis, variable response to specific treatment and myriad effects upon the patient’s life style, family relationship, self image and employability combine to complicate the therapeutic equation. The inscriptions mentioned in the siddha literatures about this disease and therapeutics impressed the author and made her to correlate the disease with “RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS” as mentioned in modern medicine. The diagnosis of disease was done by using siddha parameters like Mukkutra Verupadugal, Envagai Thervugal, Kaalam, Thinai and Modern Parameters. 20 In-Patients and 20 Out-Patients of both sexes were selected for the study and the trial drug, “KIRUBAGARA SHANMUGA CHENDURAM” was administered at a dose of 130mg with Chukku, Milagu, Omam Choornam and Murungaipattai Chaaru as vehicle which would effect a speedy recovery, (Ref: Pathartha Guna Vilakkam – Thathu Seeva Vaguppu Page No.55) with the external application of Oil, Vathathirkku Poosa Nochi Ennei (Ref: Vaithiya Thirattu, Page No.4) The trial drugs were subjected to Biochemical and Pharmacological analysis. Further Acute Toxicity study has been done to rule out any untoward effects. After the administration of drug with dietic restrictions, majority of cases showed good clinical improvement with speedy recovery.
