About the dose
The Siddha Pharmacopoeia of India (SPI) states a dose, but this page does not. The right dose depends on the individual, the formulation form and the context, and belongs on a prescription from a registered AYUSH practitioner — not on a webpage that has not examined the reader. If a practitioner has prescribed Neerkkovai Mathirai, they will have specified the dose for the person in front of them.

Where this information comes from
The uses and precautions on this page are drawn from the Siddha Pharmacopoeia of India (SPI), published by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. Specific reference: SVT. medicalfile.in has not modified the recorded text of the pharmacopoeia entry; it is presented here in its published form.
Entries from the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) and the Siddha Pharmacopoeia of India (SPI), published by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. The specific pharmacopoeia reference for each entry is quoted with it. Reference material about traditional formulations, not medical advice for any specific person or condition.
These are traditional uses recorded in the National List of Essential AYUSH Medicines (Ministry of AYUSH) — they are information about what classical texts describe, not a recommendation and not a prescription. Talk to a registered AYUSH practitioner or your doctor before taking any of these, especially alongside other medicines, in pregnancy, or for a child. Ayurveda and the other AYUSH systems do recommend medicines for complaints like this one, and the classical texts give an amount for each. Which medicine and how much of it depends on the person — their age, their constitution, what else they are taking — which is why a registered AYUSH practitioner is worth seeing rather than starting something on your own. They can examine, choose the right preparation, and set the dose. Bring this list with you; it is a good place to start the conversation.
