Siddha
system of medicine is the age-old traditional system of medicine
of TamilNadu, South India. Practiced for more than 3000 years by
the Siddhars the ancient holy sages. Siddha medicine is the oldest
and the foremost of all other medical systems of the world. The
word Siddha comes from the word Siddhi, which means an object to
be attained, perfection or heavenly bliss. Siddhars are far ahead
of religion and materialistic life. They by their eternal bliss,
intuition and experience formulated several thousands of medicines
made out of herbs, herbo mineral compounds and even from animal
kingdom for alleviating the diseases of the mankind. It was the
life style of the Tamils for natural living. It has both preventive
and curative treatments. Preventive include kayakalpa medicines.
These Kayakalpa drugs counter the degenerative changes, which leads
to aging by means of the Natural antioxidant activity of the herbs.
Practising Siddha medicine is an art rather than a profession. SIDDHA
SYSTEM TEACHES us “to live with nature”.
