00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,200
At a time when the number of Kovid 19 infected 
patients in Sri Lanka is increasing rapidly,

2
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:27,200
Prof. Channa Jayasumana has informed that 
Sudarshana Syrup, an Ayurvedic medicine is 
being used to treat corona.

3
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:37,400
So today we are going to talk about the research 
done by these doctors and professors on this 
sudarshana Syrup

4
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:46,400
Sudarshana is a medicine used in Ayurveda 
for various ailments in India and Sri Lanka 
since ancient times.

5
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:58,400
This is used as powder form in Ayurveda. 
This powder is made according to ancient 
Ayurveda by adding 53 medicinal plants.

6
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:04,400
The main drug among these all 53 medicinal 
plants is Hin Bimkohomba.

7
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:22,500
This Hin Bimkohomba is present in more than 
50% of the Sudarshana Churna. In addition, 
it contains 53 herbal remedies including 
thyme, sandalwood, ginger, pepper and licorice.

8
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Previous research in countries such as India 
has shown that these plants contain Sudarshan 
powder,

9
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:34,800
which has the potential to fight bacteria 
as well as viruses.

10
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:44,400
Sudarshana powder has been used mainly by 
Ayurvedic doctors in the past for various 
ailments.

11
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:57,000
he use of this powder has been done considering 
the condition of the patient for any fever 
caused by any dosha such as Vata, pitta or 
kapha.

12
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:02,000
It also acts as an immunosuppressant.

13
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:07,200
What has really been done in this research 
is to explain in modern science

14
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:14,500
how this drug, which has been used for thousands 
of years, causes those reactions.

15
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:29,000
the research has been carried out by several 
professors from the Faculty of Medicine, 
UOSJP and the Institute of Indigenous Medicine, 
UOC.

16
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:43,100
Free radicals, which are excreting product 
in our body cells, oxidize and destroy cells 
and weaken the body, causing many diseases.

17
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,400
These molecules have been found to have an 
effect on heart disease, cancer, and respiratory 
diseases.

18
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:57,000
We also need to keep in mind that smoking 
is a major cause for increase of these free 
radicals.

19
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:09,000
In Sri Lanka, research has been conducted 
primarily on the antioxidant properties of 
this powder and how it reacts to various 
febrile conditions.

20
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:23,100
It has been observed that the antioxidant 
activity of 14 micrograms of Vitamin E can 
be done by 0.5 micrograms of Sudarshana powder.

21
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:32,500
Numerous researches have also found that 
Sudarshan powder has a high potential to 
act as an anti-inflammatory drug.

22
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,400
In the same way, many doctors around the 
world have found in their research on covid-19

23
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:55,500
ailments that pacify by Sudarshan powder 
that we talked about earlier such as fever, 
inflammation of the respiratory tract and 
increased free radicals caused by covid-19

24
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:12,000
So this basic Sudarshan powder has been modernized 
as Sudarshan syrup, which has been used as 
a liquid suspension even though it is considered 
as a honey.

25
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:20,200
Preliminary research has found that it has 
a relatively high anti-inflammatory effect.

26
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:29,500
However, nowadays people are tempted to buy 
Sudarshan powder, pills or capsules from 
many drug stores.

27
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Finally, we would like to remind you not 
to use a single Panadol tablet without a 
doctor's prescription, and also not to use 
this medicine without a doctor's prescription.
