Abstract
Eaegantha Thailam, a traditional Siddha medicinal formulation, has been
indicated to treat arthropod bites and stings. This study aimed to investigate
the pharmacological properties of its ingredients, exploring their potential in
alleviating arthropod bite and stings. Siddha medicine Eaegantha thailam
utilizes bitter taste to counteract toxins and venoms, promoting digestion,
detoxification, and nervous system calmness. Herbs used in this formulation
exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antivenom
properties, mitigating venom-induced symptoms. Phytochemical constituents such
as strychnine, nimbin, and bhilawanol promote wound healing, immune response,
and detoxification. Anupanam, a pharmacological concept, enhances drug delivery
and bioavailability through strategic combinations, optimizing treatment
efficacy and enabling personalized medicine. By restoring balance of three
humors (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in the body, Siddha medicine offers a holistic
approach in treating venomous bites and inflammatory conditions, providing a
complementary solution to modern medicine and promoting natural healing and
well-being.
