        abstract = {The aim of this article is to overview the anti-inflammatory potential of the traditional Siddha drug Ghanthi Thylem. :
The Siddha drug Ghanthi Thylem has been scientifically validated for its safety and efficacy as a preventive medicine against dermatologic disorders. This evaluation reinforces its role in maintaining individual cosmetic beauty, aligning with the descriptions found in Siddha texts, specifically "Sikichaarathinadeepam[2]Part-I." The findings support the incorporation of Ghanthi Thylem into modern medicinal practices for its potential health benefits.
Methods involved :
The anti-inflammatory effect of Ghanthi Thylem was assessed through the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats.Subjects:Albinorats of either sex, weighing 180-220 grams, were selected for the study.Results Testing Procedure:Both doses of Vathana Ghanthi Thylem (VGT) were administered at 15 ml/kg and 30 ml/kg. Diclofenac sodium (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) served as the standard reference drug.Findings:Both doses of VGT demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity when compared to the control group, with statistical significance at p<0.01.
Discussion.: The results indicate that both dosages of Vathana Ghanthi Thylem possess considerable anti-inflammatory effects. The effectiveness of Ghanthi Thylem may be comparable to or synergistic with other anti-inflammatory agents, further supporting its traditional use in Siddha medicine. The study corroborates the claims made in Siddha texts that Ghanthi Thylem can be utilized in preventing dermatological issues, particularly skin conditions like pimples. Conclusion:This conspectus not only highlights the efficacy of the traditional Siddha formulation Vathana Ghanthi Thylem in the prevention and management of inflammatory responses, but it also reinforces the broader relevance of Siddha medicine in contributing to overall health and longevity, which is a central tenet of the Siddha system.},
