Silasathu parpam is prescribed for sopana skalitham [Nocturnal emission], megam [Veneral disease], premegam [Gonorrhea], koruku [Contagious ulcers], kiranthi [Glandular swelling]. In the present study Physico chemical analysis and siddha specification for Gomutra silasathu parpam was studied as a step forward to standardization. ICP-OES elemental analysis and the presence of carbon through CHN analysis were studied to support the spermatogenic activity and the therapeutic potential of the medicine. © 2014, Advanced Research Journals.
