Abstract: ஈழம் (இலங்கை) சித்த மருத்துவத்தின் ஒரு பழமையான மற்றும் தனித்த கிளையின் மையமாக விளங்குகிறது. இந்த 'தமிழ் மருத்துவம்' எனப்படும் முறை, தமிழரின் கலாச்சாரம், சமயம் மற்றும் இயற்கைச் செல்வங்களோடு பின்னிப்பிணைந்து, இந்திய ஆயுர்வேதத்திலிருந்து வேறுபட்ட தனித்தன்மை வாய்ந்த அடையாளத்தைக் கொண்டுள்ளது. இப்பாரம்பரியத்தின் வேர்ப்பகுதி இலங்கையை ஆண்ட இராவணனுடன் தொடர்புபடுத்தப்படுகிறது. அவரது 'இராவண சிந்தாமணி மருத்துவம்' சித்த மருத்துவத்திற்கு முன்னோடியாகக் கருதப்படுகிறது. அர்க்க பிரகாசம், மலைவாகடம் மற்றும் ராவண சம்ஹிதா போன்ற நூல்கள் அறுவைச் சிகிச்சை, ரச வைத்தியம் மற்றும் மூலிகை அறிவியல் ஆகிய துறைகளில் முன்னைய நுண்ணறிவை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றன. இந்த அடித்தளத்தின் மீது பரராசசேகரன், செகராசசேகரன் போன்ற அரசர்களின் ஆதரவில் தொகுக்கப்பட்ட பரராசசேகரம், செகராசசேகரம், மற்றும் பிற்காலத்தில் இருபாலைச் செட்டியாரின் வைத்திய விளக்கம் போன்ற நூல்கள் இப்பாரம்பரியத்தின் தொடர்ச்சியான வளர்ச்சிக்குச் சான்றாக உள்ளன. இந்நூல்கள் இந்திய மருந்துகளைக் குறிப்பிடாமல், ஈழத்தின் தனித்த இயற்கைச் சூழலுக்கே உரித்தான மருத்துவ அறிவைப் பதிவு செய்துள்ளமையில் சிறப்பு வாய்ந்தவை. இராவணனின் படைப்புகளின் பெரும்பகுதி காலப்போக்கில் இழக்கப்பட்டாலும், இருபாலைச் செட்டியார் போன்றோரின் நூல்கள் மூலம் இப்பழமையான அறிவின் சிகரங்கள் பாதுகாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. இதன் மூலம் ஈழத்து சித்த மருத்துவம்,பண்டைய தொடக்கம் முதல் நவீன காலம் வரை ஒரு செழுமையான, தனித்துவமான மற்றும் தொடர்ச்சியான மருத்துவப் பாரம்பரியம் என்பது உறுதிப்படுகிறது. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repo.lib.jfn.ac.lk/ujrr/handle/123456789/12651 Title: Qualitative Chemical Analysis of Amalgamation of Mercury and Sulphur (Kajjali) in the Metallic Preparations Of Siddha Drugs Authors: Thillany, P.V.; Sathiyaseelan, V.; Velauthamurty, K. Abstract: Mercury is one of the extensively used metal in the preparations of siddha medicine after purification process. Amalgamation of purified mercury and purified sulphur is called Kajjali. Current issue has raised causing doubtful condition in using certain Siddha drugs that contains metallic raw materials, hence purification of them is very essential in order to avoid the side effects of the drugs. So the objective of the study is to identify the chemical state of mercury and sulphur after purification and in formation of amalgam (Kajjali) of both. For this, an experimental qualitative chemical analysis was conducted in the Department of Chemistry, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. After proper purification of both mercury and sulphur according to siddha literature, the amalgamation was made by combining them in the pharmacy, Unit of Siddha Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Qualitative analysis was done with suitable reagents. As per to the observations, the relevant data's regarding the precipitations collected and justified. Results of the qualitative analysis suggested that each purified mercury and purified sulphur contains inorganic precipitations of certain substances and the amalgamation (kajjali) also contains both the combination of them. The findings indicated that purification of mercury and sulphur in amalgamation (kajjali) resulted in obtaining a chemical change from the base substances into inorganic forms of them which are nontoxic, to be used in medical preparations and industrial purposes. Apart from this, poor quality drugs which are of inappropriately detoxified raw materials can produce major illnesses. This is a vast problem arising from unauthorized dealers or persons who did not have qualified siddha medicine degree. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repo.lib.jfn.ac.lk/ujrr/handle/123456789/12650 Title: Application of Herbal Mugapoochukkal (Facial Mask) According to Kalachurukkam (Seasonal Variation) Which Are Mentioned in Siddha Literatures-A Literature Review Authors: Thillany, P.V.; Sathiyaseelan, V. Abstract: Siddha Medicine is one of an ancient system of medicine based on ancient scientific knowledge of anatomy, chemistry, and other biological sciences mainly for the quest of longevity. In the ancient society, herbs played an important role in maintaining the beauty and body conditions. Many of these practices were subtly interwoven with the seasons (Kalachurukkam/Seasonal Variaton) and the normal rituals of life (Thinachurukkam/ Dhinacharya). Ancient knowledge of the healing properties of herbs also used in mugapoochukkal (Mugalepa)/ Facial masks. Different Lepas (Masks or applications) were recommended for different seasons for beautification. The objective of the study is to bring out the correlation between Kalachurukkam (Ritucharya) and medicinal plants used in Mugapoochukkal (Muga Lepa) which are mentioned in the Siddha texts by the comparison with Siddha principles. In appropriately the Literatures such as authenticated Siddha Texts, were analyzed and for further knowledge Volumes of Ashtanga Hridayam were used on the Siddha basic principles. 30 medicinal plants were used in the Mugapoochukkal (Muga Lepa) according to the Kalachurukkam / 6 seasons. In these Santalum album, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Sesamum indicum are repetitively used in some of the seasons. According to the comparison made with the Siddha principles as dosha and taste changes with the siddha principles of mugapoochu used for the certain season have a relation. The provoked dosha in the season is deprived or mitigated by the doshas of the medicinal plants used in "Mugapoochu" by its veeryam and vipakam. The gained Siddha principles of the medicinal plants relevantly relates to the dominating tastes, provoked or mitigated doshas of each seasons which were used by our ancestors. The bottom line of the study is creating the trend toward looking back to ancient remedies in the rising demand for herbal skin care products like these Mugapoochukkal (Mugalepa) because, it is becoming less and less acceptable to use facials and creams made from synthetic chemicals among the upcoming generations. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repo.lib.jfn.ac.lk/ujrr/handle/123456789/12649 Title: Preventing Thotraa Noigal in the Neoteric Community Through Ethics and Codes of Conducts Relevant to Siddha and Formation of Stress Relieved.
