Abstract

Eve fresh cream is a proprietary Siddha medicine of the company. The cream is composed of two important herbs that are well documented in the Siddha system of medicine viz., Curcuma zedoaria (Kasturi manjal) and Aloe vera (Kumari). The present study was taken up to revalidate the drug value and the clinical efficacy of Eve fresh cream. We have conducted a survey among AYUSH practitioners who prescribe the drug Eve fresh to their patients for treating problems such as hyperpigmentation, post-pimple marks, blemishes etc. The findings are discussed in the paper.
