Background: Chendooram also one of the higher order medicines among 32 internal medicines and it’s affective for 75 years life span. It is commonly defined as red oxides / sulphides of particular ingredients and it had long process in vulcanization. In this research, Uththara Rasa Chendooram (URC) was selected for drug research by these ingredients and indication of Rasa Chendooram. Objectives: To study the pharmacological actions of each ingredient actually work with indication of prepared drug. To create the awareness of ancient siddha drugs to world by scientific evidence base. To develop the concept on cost effective and pharmaco-economic product- poly herbal siddha medicines in the world. Result: Observed ingredient’s pharmacological actions and selected drug’s pharmacological Action as indications. Conclusion: This drug research revealed the ingredient’s particular actions performed respectively by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic process into the body. It will cure and manage the specific indications in corresponding dosage with correct or suitable co-drug and vehicle.
The medicinal properties of plants are due to the presence of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, which are of great importance because they possess significant biological activities and the particular active constituents of many crude drugs are still unknown. Histochemical investigation are commonly used to verify the identity of many components either in cellular and/or in tissues. Histochemical methods are employed in the identification, density of accumulation and distribution of chemical compounds within biological cells and tissues in different organs under microscopes using the color-stain reaction technique and photographic recording. These include the preparation of fixed variably stained specimens and then the examination under the microscopic devices. It is successfully applied in detection and localization of cellular components of active cell constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and a range of ionic elements occurring in the cell solutions, in addition to identifying the characterization of secretory structures and the chemical nature of the secreted compounds. The histochemical methods played a role in describing and tracing the ultra-structure development during different plant growth stages so as the genetic bases of plant physiological and biochemical processes could be further elucidated.
Acorous calamus linnis a species of flowering plant, a tall wetland monocot of the family Acoraceae, in the genus Acorus. In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate the antibacterial properties of latex of Acorous calamuson certain microorganisms. The ethanolic and water extract of the root was prepared. The extract were tested for their antibacterial activity against pathogenic microorganism like bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia etc., A number of active constituents and essential oil were identified and characterized from the whole plant of sweet flag.

Incense is aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, and in therapy, meditation and ceremory. In siddha incense mentioned in the names of Thoobam, Pukai. For this preparation there are some particular herbs mentioned in the siddha text. This review reveals identify the incense against to the Flies, Rodents, Insects and also bad odour agents such as Antharathamarai (Pistia stratiotes), Illuppai(Madhuca longifolia), Karumbu(Saccharum officinarum), Kattu iruppai(Madhuca indica), Kunkiliyam(Shorea robusta), Sathakuppai(Anethum graveolens), Santhanam(Santalum album), Sambirani(Styrax benzoin), Maa(Mangifera indica), Vembu(Azadiracta indica), Vida moonkil(Crinum asiaticum). In this research recorded as 11 raw materials exclusively plant origin were used. 01 type of mooligai used raw material and 10 type of mooligai parts are used pukai. In plant raw materials most commonly occupied family sapotaceae (2) among 10 families. Then the leaf (illai) which is most commonly occupied. Therefore 05 mooligai is noted for against bad odour, 03 mooligai for against insecticide, 02 mooligai noted for mosquito and 01 mooligai was noted for against cimex, Termite and Rat. Finally concluded siddha system role is not only limited with in medicine, it extend up to the healthy home remedies. This review reveals magical mooligai incense for healthy home. This is very useful for current modern homes. Therefore this research should undergone scientific methodology.
Germination is among common effective methods to enhance the value and quality of legumes. Essential components; e.g. antioxidants, Vitamins, and others might be considered useful and affect the course of germination. Antioxidants activity of many components may be important for protection, and/or prevent rancidity or other flavor deterioration in foods. In this study, germination then extraction of some edible seeds and their sprouts could be employed as a source for natural phenolic compounds potential anti-oxidant activity. The selected edible seeds included lettuce, chickpea, linseed, lentil, dry green pea, lupine, black-eyed pea, radish, fenugreek, fava bean, and turnip. Folin Ciocalteau, AlCl3m and ABTS reagents were used to examine the total phenolic contents, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity respectively. The results revealed that dark germination under dark condition enhances the antioxidant activity. In spite of the enhancement of the total phenolic contents during germination, the flavonoid content was significantly decreased. There was a significant positive correlation (R= 0.5912) between the polyphenols content of sprouts and anti-oxidant activity. This preliminarily study indicated that either edible seeds sprouts or their extracts might be used as a source of natural antioxidants in functional foods or in the formulation of supplements or medicine in the different pharmaceutical dosage forms.
