A Glimpse into the Ocean of 'Siddha' Medical System

Siddha, a Sanskrit and Tamil term meaning 'perfection – success,' is one of the oldest and longest-living medical systems in the world. Each system has its own uniqueness and vastness, making a profound contribution to therapeutics and pharmacy. This system, which believed in the universe being made up of matter and energy, promotes a balance of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. The holistic method of Siddha Medicine involves a strict protocol to restore natural harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.

This promotes youthfulness, disease prevention, and eternal longevity through kaaya kalpa, a total body rejuvenation process. The Indian government now recognizes and supports five major natural and holistic systems, including Siddha, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Arabic (Unani), and the modern allopathic western system. Instead of compartmentalizing and specializing in the different organs, system and its diseases – the holistic approach towards the entire system and the person results in an almost no side effect system geared towards cure and prevention and not just providing symptomatic relief, management along with a free load of side effects given, resulting in the storage of harmful substances loading the liver, building resistance to the remedies disabling them to be used in future needs and/or emergencies.

Siddha Medicines, categorized into Miracle Medicine, Sophisticated Medicines, (This is where Master Healer PREMILA'S lineage came from) and Common Medicine, are essential for healing and maintaining health. Miracle Medicines require direct learning from masters, while Sophisticated Medicines are scientifically prepared and administered without risk. Common Medicine, the simplest and cheapest, is still prevalent in rural areas

The Siddha system makes all the lifestyle corrections and helps the body heal by itself in a naturally safe and healthy way through well understood diagnoses and treatments which are mild, gentle, effective, long lasting and suitable for all ages and diseases.

An attitude of gratitude towards divinity, nature and ancestors ensures the entirety and envelopes the entire cosmos whether we believe, care, connect or not. And thus the system helps not only the sick and unhealthy but also the healthy persons.
