Pulichchi Keerai is not Kasini Keerai

Siddha is an ancient Dravidian medical system which has been in practice in the entire Tamil Nadu from time memorial Siddha uses a lot of herbs available in the entire Dravidian belt. The system of medicine is connected with Tamil culture and heritage. Nowhere in Siddha Kasini is mentioned because it is not a siddha herb and the Siddha physicians are not aware of this wonder herb. The Tamil Nadu Unani Pharmocopeia describes a lot of herbs which includes a variety of pure Unani herbs which are not familiar in Tamil Nadu. The Siddha literature mentions Pulichchi keerai (English Name: Indian Sorrelredsorrel hibiscus cannabinus) which is some times mistaken for Kasini, but it is not the real Kasini. People should be aware that Kasini in not a Siddha herb but a purely Unani herb.
