Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Tundikeri is a highly prevalent disease in pediatric age from 6-10 years of age. The recurrent attack of Tonsillitis makes the disease chronic and vulnerable for infectious diseases. 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. Considering the above points, the present study was planned to evaluate the effect of Saireyaka Moola Choorna in management of Tundikeri. Saireyaka Moola Choorna was given to 30 patients of Tundikeri of 6-10 years. Patients were administered with 4 g of Saireyaka Moola Choorna (Barleria prionitis) with Nimbuka Swarasa as Sahapan for 10 days twice a day before food. With help of Brodsky assessment criteria gradation of symptoms was done. There was statistically significant effect of Saireyaka Moola Choorna (Barleria prionitis) (p < 0.001) on reduction of overall signs and symptoms of Tonsillitis. There was significant effect in TLC and ESR. Subjects also showed improvement in weight.
