Traditional Siddha medicine offers a wide range of carminative drugswhich are single herbal, polyherbal and minerals. This paper deals with Vaipu perungayam(VPG) documented in classic Siddha text “Thiruvalluva Nayanar Navarathna Vaithiyam 800”.The main ingredients of the VPG are Panai vellam (Palmyra palm), Sukku (Zingiberofficinale), Vellai kunkiliyam (Vateria indica), Poondu thailam (Allium sativam), Vaalluzhuvaivithu (Celastrus paniculatus), Vilva pazha sathai (Aegle marmelos), Ulunthu mavu (Vignamungo), Kadugu ennai (Brassica nigra) which helps in Soothagasoolai (Dysmenorrhea),Gunmam (Peptic ulcer), Mandham (Indigestion), Paeruvayiru (Ascites), Valinoi (Vadhamdisorders). The study was aimed to evaluate the In-vitro carminative properties and screening ofheavy metals in vaipu perungayam. The VPG extract showed significant results for carminativeproperties at different doses and the heavy metals are below toxic levels.
