Ayurvedic and Siddha formulations — the pharmacopoeia list
The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) and the Siddha Pharmacopoeia of India (SPI) are the government-published reference books for traditional Indian medicines. This page lists 320 formulations from those books — 160 Ayurvedic and 160 Siddha — with what each is traditionally used for. Each entry names the specific pharmacopoeia reference the claim comes from.

Where these come from
Both pharmacopoeias are published by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, and each entry above carries the specific reference (API for Ayurveda, SPI for Siddha) as recorded on its own row. The pharmacopoeia is a reference book for practitioners; the pages here summarise the published indications and precautions without stating a dose — the dose depends on the individual and is a practitioner's call.
What is not here
Homoeopathy is a third AYUSH system, but the underlying rows in the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India (HPI) that we have in the database do not carry indication or precaution text — so rather than publish name-only pages, homoeopathy entries are deliberately omitted. Unani and Sowa-Rigpa are similarly not included here yet.
Reference material about traditional AYUSH formulations from the Ministry of AYUSH's published pharmacopoeias. Not medical advice for any specific person or condition. What is right for you — including whether a formulation is appropriate at all — is a registered AYUSH practitioner's call, not a webpage's.
