PEECHU AND PATTI KATTAL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF UTHIRAVATHA SURONITHAM (RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS) IN Siddha SYSTEM

Abstract

The Siddha system is a traditional way of healing with medicines. Sage Yugi has detailed eighty different sorts of vatha diseases, including uthiravatha suronitham. Evidence-based science compares this to rheumatoid arthritis. This polyarthritis has an autoimmune cause. In the Siddha system, the Peechu and Pattikattal activity is a unique method of external manipulation.  Peechu (Citramutti oil) and Pattikattal (Citramutti oil) are used to treat a 57-year-old female patient for seven days. Analysis was done on both the laboratory and symptomatic evaluations prior to and following the conclusion of treatment. Following treatment, major and minor joint pain, edema, and stiffness have decreased.
