| Abstract: | Indian traditional systems of medicine like
Ayurveda and Siddha offer medicines called Kayakalpa drugs for rejuvenation and
for treating refractive diseases. Amuri is one such drug described in many
Siddha texts and manuscripts. An unpublished Siddha palm leaf manuscript Kanranadi Vakkiyam describes preparation
of Amuri from Banana tree. An attempt has been made in this work to extract
Amuri from Musa paradisiaca L.,
standardize its yield and characterize the liquid using physico-chemical
parameters |
