As per the human anatomy and physiology, deranged tridoshas (three humors) are the main contributing reasons for all the diseases in human beings. According to the Indian traditional medical therapies, tridosha is the disproportion of three constituents in the body. These three constituents regulate the body functions and the imbalance leads to many disorders in the body system.

Vatha, Pitha and kapha are the three basic components, which are made up of five elements namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. These three doshas co-exist in every cell of the human body and thus, function accordingly. Vatham, made up of Space and Vayu, controls the nervous system. Pitham, formed by Fire, directs the metabolic activities of the body, digestion, absorption, heat, etc. Kapham, formed by Earth and Water, controls the permanence of the human body. The imbalance of the three doshas engraves various diseases in the body.

In the Indian traditional medical therapies, the balance of the three doshas (humors) is compulsory to maintain a healthy state of mind and body. Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha are the traditional therapies that work for the balance and revitalization of the body organs.

According to Siddha medicine, the three doshas regulate the physical, emotional and mental state of the body. As all the major physical activities are associated with Vatham, Pitham is allied to internal transformations that involve the destruction or metabolism. On the other hand, Kapham directs all the constructive processes. The functions are inter-reliant, which infuse every constitution in the body. In short, the continuance of the stability is health, while the disorder is a disease.

In Siddha, the disproportion of the three doshas is healed by the varied traditional medicines formulated by the basic five elements, also known as the Pancha Bhootas. The rectification of the disproportion is done with the help of the medicine of the opposite nature. For a while, if Pitham dosha is increased, drop in the body temperature is suggested to drop off Pitham. In the treatment process, various herbs and natural contents are used to control the Pitham level. In most of the cases, sandalwood is used because of its cooling nature. On the other hand, in case of kapha dosha, a rise in the body temperature is produced to maintain the balance.

As stated earlier, the imbalance may lead to unhealthy physical state, which in turn makes the body prone to various diseases. Although, Ayurveda also works on the fundamental principles of tridosha, Siddha has the best implication on it so far. Besides, annihilating the tridosha, it also works to pave the spiritual and mental capability of an individual.

Siddha Medicine

Siddha medicine is considered the oldest medical system in the world. It was born in India a very long time ago.

In the ancient times, India has given birth to two types of medical systems. The two systems were connected to two different geographical areas in India. The first system was found in the north of India. This system was known as Ayurveda. The other medical system is Siddha. And this system was found in the south of India.

The word Siddha comes from another word – Siddhi. Siddhi means an object to attain heaven or perfection. And this was actually the aim of this medicine. The definition of health in the dictionary of Siddha medicine is as follows – state of perfection of the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of life. So, the aim of Siddha medicine is related originally to the meaning of the word Siddha. On the other hand, the Siddha medicine was formed and developed by 18 “Siddhars” who supported this medical system till it was brought to life. And these “Siddhars” are another reason why this medical system is known by this name.

It is not the only ancient Indian system of medicine. There were other systems of medicine in the ancient times. These medical systems spread all over the world in many different areas and places. However, the Siddha medicine was like the crown over all these other systems. It proved itself to be the most simple, and yet the richest among all. It also dominated the other medical systems. The other popular system, which is Ayurvedha, couldn’t be as powerful as the Siddha medicine in the field of using herbs, metals, animals, and also minerals. It is also even older than Ayurveda.

Providing the human body with enough powers and strong immune system has given a new definition and another goal for Siddha medicine. The “Siddhars” supposed that the body can be made as strong as a stone, and this is a way it can resist all kinds of diseases. Not only diseases were the catastrophes that the body can resist, but even old age and “death” were defined as resistible by the Siddha medicine vocabulary.

All the other medical systems in the world are concerned with two different aspects. Those aspects are mainly – The preventive methods, not to be affected by diseases, and the treatment if the patient has already passed the stage of prevention. On the other hand, the Siddha medicine doesn’t only pay attention to the preventive and curative methods, but it’s focused on the physical, mental, spiritual and psychological well being thus living up to its name in giving a total perfection in life. Thus, this medical system is very unique as compared to the rest of the medical systems.

Siddha medicine is based upon a fact that man is nature, and nature is man. Everything that takes place in the internal environment of man is also taking place in the external environment in nature. There are five elements essential to life of man. One of these elements is the ether, and it’s considered to be the characteristic of the mental and spiritual portions of man.
