A Prospective Open Labelled Phase-II Non Randomized Clinical Trial On “Karunjchirakam Chooranam” for Raktha Soorai Vaayu (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome)
Siddha system of medicine is one among the traditional medical systems originated in India which has its foundations from superior wisdom of Siddhars. They are responsible for the Tamil medicine of the present day and also for many other sciences of public utility.
Raktha soorai vayu mentioned in siddha literatures may be co-related with poly cystic ovarian syndrome in modern medical science. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive health problems suffering of women .It is considering as a problem of anovulation and infertility along with the symptoms of irregular menses, obesity, insulin resistance, hirsuitism, acne, androgenic alopecia and recurrent miscarriage. Treatment of PCOS may be enhanced in all aspects of syndrome including short term problems like acne & infertility as well as long term problems such as obesity.
Reviewing the modern science and Siddha literatures regarding PCOS, better understanding of symptoms, pathogenesis of PCOS and its proper line of Siddha treatment can be obtained. Various pre – clinical studies such as bio-chemical, phytochemical, anti –microbial, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and toxicity studies were carried out for Karunjchirakam Chooranam and relevant results were obtained.
By this study, I planned to identify the PCOS syndrome early so as to encourage young women to seek timely treatment and prevent its long term complications. In most of the cases treated with Karunjchirakam Chooranam, better results were visible. All the concerned results were statistically analysed and found to be significant
