Peringattuthodi family in History
The 500 years old history of Peringattuthodi family states as
follows:
'Irimbiliyam' was the village of renowned Gurukkals and popular
martial artists. Long ago, while practicing, a warrior was deadly
injured by an arrow, in his forehead. They tried much to save him
but to their disappointment, they were not able to do so. At last,
according to the instructions of Ponnani Makthum Thangal, an able
Ayurvedic physician was summoned from Chavakkad, who was a
disciple of the Thangal. They placed the wounded man on a wooden
cot. His pillow was made out of coconut-stick bundles. A rope was
attached tightly between the arrow and the wooden roof. The
physician removed the coconut sticks from the pillow one by one
while he poured medicines in the wound. After a Herculean task of
days, the arrow was removed from the forehead of the warrior and
the wound was cured. Due to the loving persistence of the
villagers, the clever and blessed physician settled at
'Irimbiliyam' along with his family. Thus he established the
Peringottuthodi Family.
Presently, Peringottuthodi is a large group of more than
hundred families. Many experts in the field of medicines occurred
in this family. Peringottuthodi Vaidyan was the official physician
of Tipu Sulthan, who treated the soldiers and other officers.
'Irimbiliyam' had given birth to many famous institutions in
the field of medical treatment and medicine making. They made
various medicines to treat people all over India and abroad. (The
medicines from Irimbiliyam were exported to Burma, Singapore,
Malaya, Ceylon etc.) Peringattuthodi claims a glittering and bold
place in the medical history of Malabar, South India.
