Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Kaiyanthylam

Thylams/Tailas are important group of formulations used by siddha physcians to treat various types of diseases.  Siddha system having an effective treatment and management in respiratory disease. Especially in productive cough(saliyai thuppa seigindra irumal).Productive cough is one of the most common symptoms of  respiratory diseases. Another  name  for  “Cough”  is  “tussis”,  the voluntary  or  involuntary  act  which  clears  the throat and breathing  passage of foreign particles, microbes, irritants, fluids and mucus is nothing but cough . In the siddha system KaiyanThylam is wonderful remedy for productive cough mentioned in siddha literature Theraiyar Thaila Varga Surukkam. The formulation is subjected to validate the components of KaiyanThylam which is effective remedy for productive cough as mentioned in siddha literature Theraiyar Thaila Varga Surukkam.  .Qualitative and quantitative analysis of sample was done in laboratory by ,GCMS And Physico Chemical Analysis methods. The result obtained fromG CMS analysis indicates the presence of components like molecules such as 4- hydroxyl -3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, bicycle heptan -2- one , 4- nonanone-8- methyl,eugenol , homeland , 7-octadecane has been identified. Above one of the identified molecule7-octadecane is an alkane hydrocarbon.it is generally a non-narcotic oral antitussive drug used to suppress coughing.ThenHumulenhas the potential to promote as an anti-inflammatory, to treat allergies, and as a target to reduce tumor growth.Humulen is one of the natural product found in panax ginseng. It has been used to strengthen the immune system and improving overall health .Then another one molecule of Bicyclo-hepton-one also known as Norbornane is an organic compound and a saturated hydro carbon used in medicine to make propellants for inhalers . Another identified molecule Eugenol has anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic,anti-oxidant, actions. From this study it is clear that the QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE analysis shows The presence of certain mineral elements which would be helpful in effective management of productive cough.
