                                              ABSTRACT    

Siddha system is a traditional system of healing medicine in southern part of the India.Siddha system deals with many kind of treatment procedure like yogam ,varmam,massage techniques ,Nanju noi maruthuvam etc.According  to varmam it contains manipulation  techniques,internal and external medicines to treat the different type of disease with a wide range of drugs .Among vadha diseases Kuthikaal vatham  is most common type of  vadha disease .The aim of the study was qualitative analysis of  Kuthikaal vatha kudineer to treat the kuthikaal vatham .siddha varmam drug taken from a varmam  literature.The Biochemical analysis of the trial drug indicates the presence of  sulphate ,ferrous iron,unsaturation compound ,amino acid revealed  the effectiveness of therapeutic action in vatha disease especially in kuthikaal vatham.

Keywords: Kuthikaal vatham,Calcaneal spur, Biochemical Analysis, Siddha Medicine, Kuthikaal vatha kudineer

INDROUCTION:                                                               

Calcaneal spur is not a growth but a reaction to the local inflammation of the  planter  Fascia    and  ligaments with deposition of calcium at the site of the ligamentous attachments. The condition is caused by a spike of bone at the anterior edge of the calcaneum   .The symptoms are not due to the spike per  se but to the causative conditions.Pain is felt in the ball of the heel ,which is more during long periods of standing.   The severity  of the pain is not proportional  to the size of the spur

In Vatha noi nithanam 800 text, Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  is indicated for vatha diseases.

MATERIALS & METHODS :

KUTHIKAAL VATHA KUDINEERS

Source Of Drug Ingredients:

The required raw drugs for preparations of Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  are  purchased from a well reputed country shop. The purchased drugs are authenticated by The Faculty / Expert members of Medicinal Botanist  of GSMCH- Palayamkottai.

Methods Of Purification And Preprations:

All the ingredients has been  completely purified as per the siddha   literature   in the presence knowledge of Guide / Faculty members. The purified raw drugs are coarsely powdered and mixed in of each equal quantity.The decoction is made out from the above mixture as per the method available in siddha literatures

Biochemical analysis:                                                      

Screening  the  drug  Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  to  identify  the  Biochemical properties present in the ingredient.

Chemicals and drugs:

An  the  chemicals  used  in  this  study  were  of  analytical  grade  obtain  from Department of Biochemistry, Government Siddha Medical College & Hospital, Palayamkottai.

Methodology:

5  grams  of  the  drug  was  weighed  accurately  and  placed  in  a  250ml  clean beaker. Then 50ml of distilled water added to it and dissolved well. Then it was boiled well for about 10 minutes. It was cooled and filtered in a 100ml volumetric flask and then it is made upto 100ml with distilled water. This fluid was taken for analysis.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

e

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

The Bio chemical analysis of the trial drug  Kuthikaal vatha kudineer   was tabulated above in table 2.

The trial drug , Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  contains,

                                                1.Calcium

                                                2.Starch            

                                               3.Sulphate

                                                4.Chloride

                                                   5.Unsaturated compounds

                                                   6.Aminoacid

                                                    7.Tannic acid

                                   8.Reducing sugar

mode of action of  the trial drug Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  which brings about the Bone Mineralisation osteoblastic  and  osteoclastic  activity  in  body.  May  be  due    the  presence  of    Sulphate, Amino acid, calcium in it

                 CONCLUSION:

Kuthikaal vatha kudineer  is  a  Siddha  Drug  taken  from  a  Siddha literature  used  in  the treatent of vatha diseases.The drug  is screened for its biochemical properties.Further comprehensive  pharmacological analysis are needed to evaluate its potency and the drug has its own potency to undergo further research.
