Siddha System of Medicine (Introduction and Principle) Part 1 by Solution Pharmacy    • Class (78) = Traditional Systems of M...  

SIDDHA SYSTEM OF MEDICINE
Siddha medicine is practised in Southern India. The origin of the Tamil language is attributed to the sage Agasthya, and the origin of Siddha medicine is also attributed to him.

Principle of Siddha system of medicine
The universe consists of two essential entities: matter and energy. The Siddhas call them Siva (male) and Shakti (female,creation). Matter cannot exist without energy inherent in it and vice versa. Five basic elements their names are munn (solid), neer (fluid), thee (radiance), vayu (gas) and aakasam (ether). These five elements (bhutas) are present in every substance, but in different proportions. The physiological function in the body is mediated by three substances (dravyas), whichare made up of the five elements.

Triguna according to Siddha medicine
The tridoshas are involved in all functions of the body, physical, mental and emotional.
1. Vatham:
2. Pitham:
3. Karpam:

Food is the basic building material of the human body and gets processed into humours, tissues and wastes. The equilibrium of humours is considered as health and its disturbance or imbalance leads to a diseased state. Treatment is aimed at restoring balance to the mindbody system. Diet, lifestyle, yoga and meditation play a major role not only in maintaining health but also in curing diseases.
Method of treatment
The treatments for the imbalance of the Tridoshas are made up of the five elements. The drugs are made up of the five elements. By substituting a drug of the same constituents (guna), the equilibrium is restored. The correction of the imbalance is made by
substituting the drug, which is predominately of the opposite nature. An example of vatham imbalance is cold, dry; thus the treatment will be oily and warmth. For inactivity of limbs, massage and activity are prescribed. If pitham dosha is increased, warmth is produced; to decrease pitham, sandalwood is administered, internally or externally because of its cold characteristics.
