- Theeneer or Dravagam (Distillates) are one among the special entities of Siddha system used for its considerable therapeutic effectiveness and in practice of medical alchemy since centuries in Dravidian land. Different raw materials from nature are processed in a form to be distilled which aims to extract the pure essence from herbs or minerals including salts. The products of simple or advanced distillation are potent to be used in wide range of medical conditions, very easy to administer with rapid therapeutic results as compared with other dosage forms of Siddha medicine. Numerous formulations are still unexplored from the ancient Siddha literatures for its application in medical field and its contributing factors in applied Pharmaceutical chemistry .We presently believe that these formulations need special attention from the eye of a researcher for its documentation or drug standardization. For this purpose an in-depth survey from all the available classical literatures as ancient as prevedic up to the recent publications has been done with discussions on various types of distillates, apparatus used, methodology and over review of therapeutic effectiveness of selective distillates. After going through this fundamental review any researcher or practitioner can move further to strengthen this unique dosage form of Siddha medicine
