Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
In India, around 49.5 percent of the women and 42 percent of children are affected by iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia is due to lack of iron and vitamin C. Iron deficiency is more prevalent in women during fertility period in the age group of 20 to 45. Siddha medicine is one of the traditional medicines followed in southern parts of the India. In siddha medicine plants, animals, mineral salts are used to prepare drugs to treat diseases. In siddha literature iron deficiency anaemia is treated by Madhulai manapagu and Annabedhi chendooram. Madhulai manapagu is purely herbal formulation used in treating anaemia, nausea, vomiting and burning sensation in the palm and sole. Annabedhi chendooram (incinerated iron sulphate) is used to treat anaemia, fever, diarrhoea and jaundice.The Madhulai manapagu and Annabedhi chendooram are basically having astringent property which makes them work synergistically in eradicating iron deficiency anaemia. Annabedhi chendooram is a Herbo - mineral preparation with longer shelf life and increased therapeutic efficacy compared to herbal formulation. The present study is about the interrelationship between Madhulai manapagu and Annabedhi chendooram in treating iron deficiency anaemia.
