Respiratory infections are major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Chronic tonsillitis is the second most common prevalent disease in paediatric age group from 5-15 years. Tonsillitis is the aggravation of the tonsils two oval formed cushions at the rear of the throat which are resistant frameworks first line of safeguard. Tonsils and adenoids are the body’s first line of defence at the oro-pharyngeal gateway. Recurrent attack of chronic tonsillitis makes the disease chronic and vulnerable for infections diseases. It is estimated that 15% of all visits to family doctors are because of chronic tonsillitis. In Ayurveda, tonsillitis can be correlated with Tundikeri. The diseases of Talu(Palate ) and kantha ( Throat ) , both of which are the ayatanas (eshtablishment ) of mukharoga (Diseases of Mouth).Tundikeri one among the urdhvajatrugata roga; mentioned in talugata roga (disease of palate) as well as Kanthagata roga (diseases of throat). Ayurvedic acharyas have given detailed elaboration regarding the various etiological factors, prodromal symptoms, presenting symptoms, various signs, prognosis and the various treatment modalities to be adopted in the treatment of Tundikeri.

Data was analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test and the results proven that the study was statistically significant P value <0.05.

ABSTRACT

Taila Kalpana – A liquid dosage form of Ayurveda used for both external and internal application, has an   important role in clinical practice. Industrial revolution has caused production of taila in large scale by Ayurvedic manufacturing companies. Asanavilwadi tailam mentioned in classical regional text books is produced in huge quantity. It is used in the treatment of diseases of eye, ear and head and found to be very effective. But Asanavilwadi tailam has not been standardized yet. This study aims to develop a standard parameter for Asanavilwadi tailam. Based on the data collected about the production of Asanavilwadi tailam from various manufacturing companies in Kerala, it has been noted that large amount of Asanavilwadi tailam is produced. In the present scenario there is increase in the number of manufacturing companies, increased production of formulations and there is decreased availability of raw drugs. So, we need to suspect the genuinity of formulations available in the market. Asanavilwadi taila is a preparation mentioned in Sahasrayogam taila prakaranam² and in Chikitsa manjari Siro roga chikitsa^3.  Asanavilwadi taila is prepared both in the media of   Tila taila   and Kera tailam   as both samples are available in the market and physico-chemical analyses were done and analytical profile was developed. Analyses of market samples were also done and their physico chemical parameters are compared with those of the prepared samples. Standard analytical protocol proposed by Pharmacopoeial Laboratory of Indian Medicine (PLIM) and Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India are taken as the study tool. An online survey had been conducted to know about the manufacturing methods adopted by various pharmacies and to evaluate the quality of Asanavilwadi tailam available in the market.
