Moreover it would be helpful to mount immune status in a greater level. So these drugs are supposed to have rejuvenation, anti-oxidant and immuno modulating effects. According to literary evidences, it is found that some Siddhars were able to live for many hundred of years with the help of these medicinal practices.“Karpathai undal kayam azhiyathu…” is a Tamil verse written by ancient Siddha Thirumoolar explaining, when a person is given Kayakalpa treatment properly, no possibility of decay of cells in the body would happen. They could live for longer

period without having any illness and maintain the physique in a very normal condition always.According to Siddhar, Thirumoolar, there are 108 Kayakalpa medicines available in Siddha and classified into 2 catagories. They are 1. Pothu karpam (for rejuvenation in general) 2. Sirappu karpam (manages affected disease and rejuvenates the body simultaneously).Nellikkai (Phullanthus emblica), Chukku (Zingiber officinale), Vallarai/Kudangal (Centella asiatica), Elumichai/Cherunaranga (Citrus acida) are few examples for Pothukarpam. Here we wish to mention some Sirappu karpam medicines.a) Kadukkai (Terminalia chebula) powder can be taken with Water for 40 days in Piles, Constipation, Jaundice and Constipation.b) Keezhanelli (Phyllanthus amarus) karkkam to be taken with curd in Mega diseases especially in Leucorrhoea.c) Infusion of Vilam/Koovalam leaves (Agele marmelos) to be advised internally early in
