Siddha Basics
What Is Siddha Medicine?
Siddha is an ancient Tamil healing system that balances body, mind and life energy through herbal care, pulse diagnosis, Varmam, Thokkanam massage, diet and lifestyle guidance. It emphasises holistic health, covering physical, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing. During a Siddha consultation, the practitioner uses a classical eight-fold examination (Envagai Thervu), which includes the pulse, tongue, eyes, skin, voice, touch, stool and urine.
Its external medicine includes treatments like Varmam therapy, fomentation (Ottradam), inhalation (Vedhu), bandaging (Kattu), leech therapy (Attai Vidal), and more.
