Abstract Urolithiasis, also termed renal calculi or nephrolithiasis, are commonly called kidney stones. These are hard deposits of salts and minerals which are formed in the kidneys. These symptoms can be correlated with Kalladaippu in the Siddha system of Medicine. Siddha Medicine has numerous medicines to treat Kalladaippu. One such formulation is Padikara Chunnam. Place of study The study was performed at Noble Research Solutions, Kolathur, Chennai-99. Methodology The sample Padikara Chunnam (PC) was prepared as per the text. The organoleptic characters were perceived by the senses, and the physicochemical parameters were analysed. The results were observed and tabulated. The study was performed under the PLIM guidelines for standardization of Indian Medicine. Result The result of sample PC shows white-coloured, very fine powder Chunnam with very mild odour. The physicochemical parameters of PC show that the total ash value is 94.63%, loss on drying at 1050C is 0.39%, acid insoluble ash is 8.4%, and the pH is 8.5. Conclusion The study shows that the sample has the characteristics of Chunnam, as explained in the texts. The drug has alkaline pH as well. Balance of pH is important in treating and protecting against illness. Thus, the study medicine Padikara Chunnam will be beneficial in treating diseases and supports further research.
