Siddha medication is a conventional arrangement of recuperating that started in South India and is viewed as perhaps one of the oldest systems of medicine. The Siddha framework depends on a mix of antiquated therapeutic practices and spiritual disciplines as well as alchemy and mysticism.

As per the Siddha framework, there are five components that exist in nature: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. The human body which is a miniature of this nature is also made up of these five elements. In the human body, the component of the earth is available in the bone, tissue, nerves, skin, and hair; the component of water is available in bile, blood, semen, glandular discharges, and sweat; the component of fire is available in hunger, thirst, rest, magnificence, and sluggishness; the component of air is available in compression, development, and movement; and the component of ether is available in the interstices of the stomach, heart, neck, and head. 

​

At the point when the ordinary harmony of these five components is upset, three dhoshas — Vaadham, Pittham, and Kapam — are upset and the disease is caused.  The factors assumed to affect this equilibrium are environment, climatic conditions, diet, physical activities, and stress.

​

As per the Siddha medication framework, diet and lifestyle assume a significant role in wellbeing and in restoring illnesses. This idea of Siddha medication is named as "pathiyam" and "apathiyam", which is basically a standard based framework with a rundown of "do's and don'ts".

On the off chance that this doesn't demonstrate compelling, the prudent utilization of plants, minerals, and creature items is exhorted.
