In Siddha medicine, Eraippu noi is a Kabha rogam, comparable to bronchial asthma in modern. Without any clear cause, there is a tightness and discomfort in the chest and difficult to breathing. Additionally, the complexity of expiry sounds allows the melodic sounds of kulal, yarl, and Veenai to be reassembled. The marine ecology is a great place to find and develop new drugs. Marine medicinal finding has a very promising future in the field of medicine, according to pharmacological studies of marine materials. There is a severe lack of ethno medical literature on marine items. Since the beginning of time, the Siddha system of medicine has utilized marine species. Red coral, or Pavalam, is a precious mineral medication that Siddha doctors frequently utilize in daily practice for a variety of diseases. The intention of the current review is to investigate the Siddha medication "KODI PAVALA CHUNNAM" for the treatment of Eraippu and related symptoms. The information regarding the Siddha formulation "KODI PAVALA CHUNNAM" was taken from the Siddha text NOIGALUKKU SIDDHA PARIGARAM part 2: Page Number: 75-76 and information about each ingredient in the aforementioned drug was gathered from various Siddha literatures. The findings show that each of the preparation's three ingredients has the ability to treat the respiratory tract disease such as Kshyam, Kaasam and Swasam. This preliminary evaluation of the literature and related research provide valuable documentary evidence for the pharmaceutical substances that are frequently used to make medicines for health management.
