* Saroja Padmanabhan had asked for the Tamil name for "Mucuna Pruriens".

T. Meenakshisundaram B.P.T (98401 57736), who is a consultant in physiotherapy, acupuncture and medicinal plants (chennaihealthcare@yahoo.co.in) says that in Tamil it is called poonaikkali. It is not only used to cure Parkinson's but also for other neurological problems. A combination of aswagandha arishtam and saraswatha arishtam along with poonaikkali can be extremely effective along with coordination exercises to avoid rigidity and neck stiffness.
