Abstract :

Siddha treatment procedures are equally having 32 types of internal and 32 types of external medicaments to manage any kinds of diseases. In the 32 types of internal medicines so many herbs, metals, minerals and marine products are used. In this time tested system of medicine Siddhars were documented all the preparations by using their great cognizance and chemical knowledge to formulate the medicines in a precise manner. The form of medicine and indications are also fixed only after the so many trials and complete knowledge about the human body and drug delivery systems. That’s why they were used single medicine to treat various systems of diseases by simply altering the adjuvants. Here the trial drug Rasa Mezhugu is the astonishing formulation given by the Great saint Agasthiyar showing his kindness towards the mankind. Even though it has to be proved scientifically for the better understanding of the modern world. Hence the trial formulation subjected to preliminary chemical studies and phyto–chemical analysis to establish the Siddhar’s Omnipotent thought process. These studies clearly prove that the trial drug does not have any heavy metals like Aluminium, Copper, Arsenic and Lead. But it has essential elements that maintain the normalcy of the body counteracting the disease progression. Also it is become evident that the trial drug formulation has alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, phlobatanins, glycosides, volatile oils and fixed oils. It has been proved scientifically as best in class medicine in the treatment of chronic diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis and anti– aging.
