Siddha medicine originated from Tamil culture in southern India. Worldwide there are 75% of herbal plants are used for AYUSH and Allopathy medicines. Amukkara Choornam is a polyherbal Siddha formulation. Amukkara Choornam has anti-arthritic activity, and it helps to cure rheumatoid arthritis. The demand for Siddha medicines in India is increasing daily; we have to overcome some problems like quality control issues, processing, administrative issues, and clinical trials. From the above, quality control issues are the most important ones. The quality, safety and, side effects, knowledge about herbs can be determined while standardizing each herbal formulation. The knowledge about the herbs and herbal medicines by the villagers and tribes is unknown to scientists. Scientists are well-known about the standardization process unknown by rural peoples and tribes. Hence the present study is carried out to identify the bioactive phytochemical constituents present in Amukkara Choornam by spectroscopic analysis. Standardization is a tool in the quality control process must for rural health care. Siddha medicines are our traditional medicines, which have lesser side effects. Since, it is a plant-based product.
