- Brief Summary
Renal calculusor Nephrolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the renal system. Itoccurs more frequently in men than in women and in whites than in blacks. It israre in children. Urinary calculusis a stone-like body composed of urinary salts bound together by a colloidmatrix of organic materials. It consists of a nucleus around which concentriclayers of urinary salts are deposited. Nephrolithiasis occursin all parts of the world, with a lower lifetime risk of 2-5 percentages inAsia, 8-15 percentages in the West, and 20 percentages in Saudi Arabia.[9]**.**
In India,the incidence of upper and lower urinary tract calculiis more. With its multifactorial etiology and high rate of recurrence, urinarytract stone disease becomes a medicalchallenge. The new approach in diagnosis and management like Extra-corporealshock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and endoscopy surgery are not cost effective tothe lower socio- economic groups, who are mostly affected by urinary calculus,[2]when compared to the treatment with traditional system of medicine, which iscost effective.its give me a motivation to do a study on IRUKAARA PARPAM in thetreatment of azhal kalladaippu.
In the text Siddha vaithiya Patharthagunavilakkam-Thaathu Jeeva Vaguppu ‘**IRUKAARAPARPAMâ€** a Siddha formulation has been specificallyindicated for kalladaippu. The mode ofpreparation seems to be simple and cost effective.The main ingrediants of the above said formulation are vengaram (borax)and padikaaram( alum). Vengaram(Borax) is well known for its karkaraichi(lithotriptic),Siruneerperukki(diuretic) and Azhukalakatri (antiseptic) actions as per Siddhaliterature[15]. Padikaaram (Alum) has Isivakatri(antispasmodic),Azhukalakatri(antiseptic)and Kuruthi pokkadaki(haemostatic) actions as per Siddha literature[16].
The above said drug formulationhas not yet undergone any safety studiesand yet to be documented clinically. Hence I have selected the siddhaformulation **“** **IRUKAARA PARPAMâ€** for further clinical evaluation in **AZHALKALLADAIPPU**.
**IRUKAARA PARPAM**
**METHOD OF PREPARATION:**
INGREDIENTS:
- Purified Vengaram - 1palam(35gms)
- Purified Alum - 1palam(35gms)
- Lemon juice - Required quantity
- **PURIFICATION OF TRIAL DRUGS****:**
- 1**.Vengaram:**
Purification will be done byfrying the Vengaram in a mud vessel until the water content evaporates.
- 2**.Padikaaram:**
Alumwill be mixed well with water and willbe filtered. The filtrate will be boiled again and allowed to cool.
