NOI ANUGA VIDHI

Siddhars have recommended certain basic guidelines to be followed for healthy living which includes observation of certain regimen as mentioned in “Pini anugaavidhi” literally meaning rules that help prevent disease. Their concept of “Kaayakarpam” for prevention of diseases is highly admirable as it makes one’s body resistant to infections. Their concepts pertaining to Habitat, Seasons, Diet (Thinai/Nilam, Naal ozhukkam, Kaala ozhukkam, unavu) are preventive as well as adaptive. This subject also deals with the incompatibility of food materials.
According to our ancestors, mere preventive measures alone are not enough to be free from diseases, but the virtuous deeds and good conduct and character are also the important criteria for healthy longevity.
