Tonsils, the lymphoid tissue play important role in maintaining the immunity in children, hence timely treatment is most essential. Use of Saireyaka (Peeta) (Barleria prionitis) Moola Churna with Nimbuka (Citrus limon) Svarasa is a famous folklore medicine for Tundikeri in some regions of Karnataka state. Saireyaka (Peeta) is Tridoshaghna in action which exactly correlates with Doshic configuration of Tundikeri.
