  • Abstract:
  • Siddha medicine represents one of the oldest medical systems in the world, rich in herbal knowledge and practice. Among various formulations, Karuveppilai Vadagam is noted for its potential health benefits, particularly in restoring organ functionality. This study aims to leverage FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) to characterize the functional groups within Karuveppilai Vadagam, providing insights into its chemical composition that underlies its therapeutic action. Materials and Methods: FTIR spectroscopy was employed to analyze the KaruveppilaiVadagam sample. The sample was prepared by mixing with potassium bromide (KBr) to form a pellet and then analyzed in the spectral range of 4000-400 cm^-1. Results and Discussion :The FTIR analysis revealed several functional groups:Alkanes: Indicating the presence of saturated hydrocarbons which may contribute to the formulation's stability.Mercaptans: Suggesting sulfur-containing compounds, potentially involved in antioxidantactivities.Amines: Highlighting the presence of nitrogen-containing organic compounds that can influence neurotransmission and metabolic processes..Halides (Chlorides, Bromides, Iodides): These functional groups may signify antimicrobial properties and their role in biochemical pathways..Nitro groups: Associated with various biological activities, which might contribute to the therapeutic effects of the formulation.The identification of these functional groups not only underscores the complexity of Karuveppilai Vadagam but also opens new avenues for research into its systemic effects. Conclusion:This study conspectus highlights the presence of a diverse range of functional groups in the Siddha formulation Karuveppilai Vadagam, suggesting a multifaceted approach to health management. As further research is conducted, these findings may lead to a better understanding of Siddha medicine's role in contemporary healthcare
