Ancient Medicinal System

The two ancient Medicinal system in Indian medicine are ayurveda and siddha.

Sidha system developed with the ancient civilizations of Harrappa and Mohenjo-daro, in the Indus River valley, about 6000 - 7000 years ago.
It was transplanted into Southern India along with the Dravidian people who migrated to south about 2500 years ago and during this migration, many plants were added into the medicine chest of Siddha treatment.
The Siddha System of medicine is the oldest and it is in vogue from the growing of vegetable kingdom on the Earth. Siddha generally refers to Ashtama Siddhi that is the 8th supernatural power. Those who attained or achieved the above said powers, are known as Siddhars. There were 18 important Siddhars in olden days and they developed this system of medicine. Hence, it is called Siddha Medicine. In the Indian History every one knows that, prior to the Aryan migration, the Dravidians were the first inhabitants of India - of whom the South Indians / Tamilians were the most prominent.
Siddha Vaidya is also the most ancient recorded herbal medical system. Siddha. It is systematic medical system, accurately defined, documented symptomatology , solution for reactions. The well researched remedies makes it an ideal one, as a bridge between the modern medicine and other complimentary medical systems.
Siddha Vaidya is very effective, Certain key ingredients like Amber, under some unique process can act instantly as effective as the modern system of Science. It is not true that one has to wait for days and months for a cure under this system. This makes this system unique and superior to other alternative systems. Some varieties of internal medicines, if prepared once can be used for hundred years . Such medicines have long life time and their potency will not be lost at any time, in this period. Siddha Vaidya recognizes eight branches of medicine, the same as western medicine except Geriatrics, the study of diseases of the aged. Instead Rasayana or rejuvenation therapy is given. The aim of their therapy is to maintain the youth of the individual along with long life. This is attainable through cleanses of the body (Pancha Karma) done seasonally and rejuvenation treatments which activate the body's ability to rebuild and renew itself. According to Siddha Vaidya and Ayurveda, it is the perfect digestion and assimilation of our food, together with the regular and efficient evacuation of wastes that is essential for health and beauty. Any food, no matter how perfect, that is improperly digested, forms toxic wastes called 'Ama'. Ama clogs the system, impedes digestion, blocks vital channels and clouds the mind. Siddha Vaidya is very effective in managing chronic diseases and degenerative conditions and holds many promises for the Health and Wellness of humanity. Healthy, functional and productive longevity is a promise from Siddha Vaidya. Another contribution is its wealth of knowledge regarding prophylaxis of heart diseases.

Siddhar's knowledge of latro-chemistry, minerals, metals and plants was stupendous. This was successfully used by them from time immemorial. The process of Muppu (Universal salt) and other calcinations process ., are the special features of Siddha medicinal system and these are not known to other medical systems. The fact that, even in the remote past when knowledge in chemical technology was not fully developed, Siddhars had unparallel knowledge in medicines.
Nano technology: A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, the width of six hydrogen atoms, or about 100,000th the size of a single grain of sand! Nano technology involves the manufacture and manipulation of molecules from 1-100 nanometers in size. A technological revolution that will irreversibly alter the way people live and work. It was said that buy 2010, half of all drugs will be made with nano technology. Today only we are talking about nanao technology. Siddha System for centuries has been practicing the division of minerals into atomic weights. Atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.0079 atoms. Which is 1/6th the width of one nanometer.
So you can decide how advanced was the siddha system of science to which used such small particles centuries back. It is this science and who ever practicing to this scale are the makers of superior medicines . For medicines to be very effective the inorganic substances are to be brought to their atomic form and ionic form. Today, We have on hand just a few of these works. Siddha system is all about not only treating illness but promoting youthful maintenance and rebuilding of the body.
Rejuvenation does not necessarily mean restoring the Old to Youth; for it may simply mean maintenance of youth without reaching the old age; and if youth is maintained perpetually, it becomes Immortality. So Rejuvenation is a means for prolonging life .
Immortality being one of the most consoling and comforting dogma of religion, should be reserved for aspiration of Man's faith. It is proved that certain single cell creatures do not yield to natural death. Dr. Alexis Carrel, the celebrated biologist in his article on "tissue culture" has proved beyond doubt that it has been possible to keep some animal tissue almost alive and growing indefinitely in a suitable organic media. He called them as "immortal". Cultures should, at frequent intervals, be transplanted to fresh media or else growth ceases and the cells begin to die poisoned by the accumulation of their debris and other used up stuffs. Tissue culture is the determining factor.Similarly for the cells to be at best state, the cells of our body as well should be brought up in an environment, free from the contamination of the waste poisonous by-products in the assimilating process.
Therefore a high degree of constancy is to be maintained in the internal environment for the existence of life and health in the body, by keeping up the equilibrium of acid and alkaline balance in the body, eliminating the waste products regularly.
