The Siddha Medical College here, which is doing an excellent service during this monsoon by distributing to the public ‘nilavembu kudineer,’ the herbal concoction providing great relief to patients suffering from fever and its side-effects, has so far administered the herbal drink to over 3.12 lakh persons in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts in the past 40 days.
The common man had the chance of experiencing the efficacy of ‘nilavembu kudineer’ when the district was struggling to deal with chikungunya outbreak in 2009 and 2010.
When this fever caused excruciating pain, the concoction provided remarkable relief to the affected persons.
Moreover, the siddha practitioners claimed that the herbal drink also strengthened the consumers’ immunity against fever and cold, the common ailments during monsoon.
Having understood its efficacy, the State Government ordered the distribution of the concoction in government hospitals and primary health centres during last monsoon.
Without waiting for any formal order from the government, the Siddha Medical College here started distributing ‘nilavembu kudineer’ to the public before the onset of the monsoon.
After commencing regular distribution of ‘nilavembu kudineer’ in the out-patient section of the Siddha Medical College Hospital, it was then expanded to schools, colleges, public places, passengers, Collectorate etc.
The concoction was given to the visitors of special medical camps organised by various organisations and political parties during this monsoon.
“Since the response was so encouraging, we supplied the concoction for distribution at Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts where we’ve so far reached 3.12 lakh people. The most encouraging aspect of this special programme is that we’ve successfully reached the younger generation, who have started reposing great faith in Siddha formulations,” said Dr. Subash Chandran, faculty member of the Government Siddha Medical College.
