Sources
- The 1965 Fine Arts Department printing of the Tamra Phra Osot Phra Narai gives the formula as no. 44 on printed pp. 19–20, spelt ยาสุขไสยาสน์. In that printing the second drug reads like ใสสะเดา; Boontham et al. (2022) and the 2023 national list give ใบสะเดา, neem leaf.
- The national list of essential herbal medicines of 2023 (Food and Drug Administration handbook, p. 123) gives the same twelve drugs in grams.
- Boontham, Nootim and Dilokthornsakul (2022) give the leaf share (15.38 per cent) and the notifications of December 2020 and February 2021.
- Srithat et al. (2022) and Tipratchadaporn et al. (2021) describe its use in clinics.
Is it cannabis?
- The treatise names ใบกัญชา, cannabis leaf, as the twelfth drug. The 2023 list names ใบกัญชา at 12 grams.
Kind and plant part
- Traditional medicine. Leaf.
- Still made: yes (on the 2023 national list).
- First recorded: no year is stored. The treatise's formulas were gathered into one manuscript after the reign of Phetracha; formula 44 carries no date of its own.
- The outcomes reported in the clinical studies are left out: the page records the formula and its use, not its effect.
Name
- The title is the RTGS form of the modern spelling ศุขไสยาศน์. Suk Sai-Yad is the form in the English titles of the two clinical papers.
