In India, the existence of traditional medical systems has a long drawn history of over 5000 years. On the other hand, the contemporary medicinal systems are just 150 year old. Even though, the ancient therapies can’t be put into play in so far as detailed prognosis, examination and emergency cases are concerned. The alternative natural therapies like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, have given away incredible and rapid outcomes in various unremitting ailments like diabetes, arthritis, leucoderma, asthma and even the deadly, AIDS.
Earlier, these natural medical systems were measured as cryptic and merely as a part of religious studies. But at present they are not only getting recognition as alternative therapies, but are also being incorporated with the conventional systems as parallel ways.
To be on a more specific line, lets talk about the oldest and the most advanced medical system out of all – “Siddha”. ‘Siddha’, the system is said to be the oldest medicine therapy in India. According to the myths, “It was God Shiva who extended the knowledge of Siddha system to his companion Goddess Parvati. The deity passed on the knowledge to Nandi Deva, who then familiarized the system to the “Siddhars”, the ancient scientists”.
The ideology of this system is corresponding to the other widely known traditional therapy of India ‘Ayurveda’. Like Ayurveda, Siddha also reckons that human body is made up of five basic elements, that is, earth, water, fire, air and space. So the food and medications should be related to its derivation.
It uses all metals, including gold, silver and iron in some measures. Siddha Medicine not only helps to regenerate the organs, but also corrects the dysfunction of the system, which primarily causes the disease. Since no artificial chemicals are used, it doesn’t cause any ill effects.
The system is effectual in taking care of chronic cases of liver disorders, skin disorders, particularly the one labeled incurable – Psoriasis, rheumatic problems, bleeding piles, peptic ulcer and even Cancer. The medicine, which contains mercury, silver, arsenic, lead and sulphur, are significantly used in treating contagious diseases. The medicines are also efficient in tumbling the debilitating problems, evident, among the patients of HIV/AIDS. Siddha Medicine is a Godsend for chronic ailments like arthritis and diabetes for which allopathy doesn’t provide any long lasting remedy.
Diabetes is the most unremitting disorder for which patient usually takes insulin to retain the level of sugar in blood. While in Siddha, the therapy rouses the pancreas to release insulin in the normal mode, which in turn maintains the blood sugar level.
