A Novel Treatment Option for Psoriasis... Siddha Clinicians Must Understand

When we were checking at the marketing strategies and research contents of Siddha preparations promoted by different companies in India, we really felt the strategies of Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai is strikingly unique, fully packed with modern science and having its foundation strongly rooted in Siddha tenets.

When we are working hard to promote our glorious Siddha system through its true merits and what it can really offer to humanity, it is our duty to highlight some of the efforts of Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai in promoting and popularizing Siddha system in a very systematic and scientific way without losing the juice and flavour of the system.

Unlike some companies promoting Siddha preparations as drugs with bundle of claims and promises, Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai is not promoting their Siddha preparations 'only and just as drugs'. They are the first and may be the only Siddha Research and Pharmaceutical companies in India have evolved the concept of 'offering treatment' to the patients than 'just offering drugs'.

Siddha system is holistic and hence the Siddhars never used the jargon of treating the patients but helping the patients to recover (Gunapeduthal) from the problems. Just a drug means, it will work and offer cure and that is how allopathic system works. In the case of Siddha, along with the preparations, the patients have to follow certain disciplines and regimens that are always linked with season, weather condition, age, living condition of the patient, their food habits etc.,. Further the above treatment approaches of Siddha are also time specific and not universal, patients are not made to follow the same treatment throughout the day said Dr Abdul Abbas, MD-Siddha.

Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai has brought out a wonderful treatment approach for Psoriasis in the name of 1-3-2 treatment. They have scientifically studied the effect of Circadian rhythm in the pathology of Psoriasis and in the Psoriatic cells. Accordingly they have positioned their three Siddha formulations to be used by the patients, one in the morning and other preparations during the day and at night, separately. All most all triggering and stimulating factors of Psoriasis, Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai has taken into account while offering the above treatment approach. Further they have also considered the issue of tachyphylaxis, as the treatment of Psoriasis is always life long. The above approach clearly vindicates the holistic nature of Siddha system rather than drug dispensing pharmacy approach, said the eminent Siddha clinician Dr Abdul Abbas, MD -Siddha.

It is not just commercial end benefits, Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai has aimed, but strongly believes in offering relief, relief for longer time to the patients and want to offer the holistic approach of Siddha. They have understood that it can be achieved only if sufficient scientific researches are done but while projecting science of Siddha system, the fundamentals of the ancient system should not be missed or forgotten, said Dr Abdul
Abbas.

Dr JRK's Siddha Research and Pharmaceuticals Pvt., Ltd., Chennai has even gone to an extent of identifying the active content, its quantification, elucidation of structure-activity relationship, purity and scalability of the actives etc. Finally they also want to follow the foremost value of Siddha system, i.e. affordability to the patients.

Government of Tamil Nadu and Government of India must recognize such organizations and must generously provide research funds to promote the ancient Siddha system.

When Siddha has so much to offer why it still struggle and beg for global attention, asked Dr Abdul Abbas, an eminent Siddha clinician. It is because the Siddha system is relief and health centric and not strictly a medical system. Therefore the system has to be re-classified along with paramedical sciences.

We request the Government of Tamil Nadu guided by our beloved Amma J Jayalalithaa and Union Government headed by our beloved Modiji to save the Siddha system by re-positioning it to be a health and relief system than medical system and do the needful to stop the Siddha private practitioners prescribing allopathic medicine.
