Abstract
Siddha medicine is one of the traditional medical system, predominantly practiced in South India. It is based on maintaining balance among the three vital humors—Vatham (air), Pitham (fire), and Iyyam (water) and their imbalance results in diseases. Siddha therapeutic intervention is broadly classified into 32 internal medicines and 32 external therapies. Parpam is one of the 32 types of internal medicines in the Siddha system and is recognized for its high potency and long shelf life, often extending up to 100 years. It is traditionally prepared by triturating mineral or animal-origin substances with herbs, followed by a unique incineration process known as Pudam. Muthu Parpam is a herbomineral formulation commonly used for Alathidu Sanni in children(1).
Alathidu sanni is one among nine types of Sanni. Alathidu sanni was compared to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder in children. The clinical features of Alathidu sanni were closely related with ADHD. ADHD is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood and constitutes a significant chronic health condition among school-aged children. It is primarily characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, impaired impulse regulation, reduced self-inhibitory control, and continuous motor restlessness. Muthu parpam has been indicated in the Siddha literature for a wide variety of diseases. This review article gives insight on the efficacy of Muthu Parpam for Alathidu Sanni based on review of various literatures and scientific studies.
