Siddha

The Siddha system of medicine is mainly practiced in the Southern part of India.

The word Siddha has its origin in the Tamil word Siddhi which means “an object to be attained” or “perfection” or “heavenly bliss”.

Agastyar is believed to be the founding father of Siddha Medicine. Eighteen Siddhars are considered to be pillars of Siddha Medicine.

‘Food is medicine, medicine is food’ is Siddha’s motto.

Siddha medicine is claimed to revitalize and rejuvenate dysfunctional organs that cause the disease.
