About Siddha
Siddha medicine is one of the oldest traditional systems of healing, with its origins intertwined with the ancient Tamil civilization in South India. The term “Siddha” means “achievement” or “perfection,” and the practitioners, known as Siddhars, were considered spiritual masters who had attained special powers. Agastiyar is widely revered as the founding father of this medical system, and his works are still used today. Unlike other traditional Indian systems that prioritize herbal remedies, Siddha medicine places great importance on the use of both plants and minerals.
