ABSTRACT:
Siddha system is one of the traditional systems of medicine in which minerals are used in the preparation of various medicines. Indhuppu is one among the mineral, which is a good laxative and it is commonly used for its anti-ulcer activity in Siddha medicine. Siddhars like Bohar, Agathiyar have mentioned vaippu process (Synthetic method) for preparing raw drugs synthetically instead of natural. This study is aimed to compare the commercial indhuppu with the Vaippu Indhuppu (synthetic). Both the samples were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, and ICP-OES. The results show that comparatively have similar crystalline structure and functional groups. This study is the preliminary analytic study for further explorative study on the vaippuindhuppu.
