Abstract
Based on Yugi Vaithiya Chinthamani, 40 cases of Kumbavatham were diagnosed Clinically. 20 cases were admitted and treated with the trial drugs in the inpatient ward and the rest of the patients treated in the outpatient department of Sirappu Maruthuvam at the Ayothidoss Pandithar Hospital attached to National Institute of Siddha, Tambaram Sanatorium, Chennai – 47. The various Siddha methods of examination of the disease were carried out and the data were recorded in the proforma. The trial medicines selected for both internal and external treatment were Vithurasa Mezhugu – 130 mg bid and Vatha Ennai – 30 ml respectively. Before starting treatment careful history was taken and recorded for the 40 selected cases. During treatment all the patients were put under patthiyam (a specific dietary regimen). Laboratory investigations were done periodically for all the cases before and after treatment. The observations made during the clinical study show that the internal drug Vithurasa Mezhugu and external application – Vatha Ennai are clinically effective. As per our Siddha Meteria Medica the ingredients of the trial medicines were found to have the property of controlling Vaatha diseases. CONCLUSION: The patients of Kumbavatham were treated with Vithurasa Mezhugu – 130 mg, twice a day with butter (internally) and Vatha Ennai (externally). The clinical evaluation of all the 40 cases of Kumbavatham under study has brought out the following results. Clinically relieved – 15%, Good improvement - 67.5% Moderate improvement – 12.5%l No improvement – 5%. The results of the clinical trial indicate the efficacy of the drugs. However there is recurrence of symptoms over months in some of the Kumbavatham patients who engage themselves in the same occupation again or go back to their fast and mechanical lifestyle. Most of the patients in whom the symptoms recurred were housewives who after their discharge from hospital continue to do their household works. Hence these drugs and methodology of the treatment will become one of the milestones in treating Kumbavatham successfully expecially in this era of fast and sophisticated lifestyle.
