Abstract
Traditional use of siddha medicine has received attention by the scientific community for its high therapeutic value and their standardization is essential to get wider knowledge about that drug for extensive safe use worldwide. Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization will help to determine the functional compounds of the drug. Siddha medicine Vengara parpam was subjected into characterization through FTIR. The FTIR peaks of Vengara parpam constitute some functional group such as alcohol, phenols, alkyl, amines, aromatic, carboxylic acids, ether, fluroalkanes, chloroalkanes and iodoalkanes. If further research will followed based on this research work, helps to utilize the medicinal effect of this Siddha drug clinically in a safe manner.
