Based on the classical principle of an inherent similarity between
the universal and the individual—Siddha medicine is one of
the oldest medical traditions. Too often confused with ayurveda,
it is a pure Dravidian system that started in southern India much
before the Aryan era. Ever since the time of the legendary Sage
Agastya and his 18 siddhars—the ancient propagators
and practitioners of this system—Siddha knowledge has continued
to percolate from master to disciple.
This timeless medical system has two branches—Siddha massage
and Siddha medicine. But the treatment as a whole works on removing
energy blocks from the ten vital points of prana or energy
concentration. Treatment also includes 13 retrieval systems, which
have cured problems like cervical spondylitis, skeleto-muscular
pains, rheumatic lumbar, back pain, slip disc and even paralysis!
