3 days left until the 7th Siddha Day! Explore the timeless wisdom ofSurgical Practices in Siddha Medicine.Throughout history, humans have sought tools and methods to enhance their daily lives. In South India, one of the ancient civilizations pioneered the use of tools for mechanistic healing.Archaeological findings, like stone inscriptions in Tamil Nadu, reveal that surgical treatments in Siddha Medicine have been practiced for centuries.Tamil literary works such as Purananooru, Kundalakesi, and Kurinchipaattu further describe these ancient surgical techniques.Siddha surgery involves the use of specialized instruments and tools to address structural issues within the body that cannot be resolved through medical treatments alone. The Akathiyar Nayana Vidhi text elaborates on 26 types of surgical instruments.Additionally, caustic applications (Karam) and heat treatments (Suttigai) were employed to remove non-viable tissues and promote healing. These surgical modalities encompass various sub-types, including bloodletting, leech therapy, heliotherapy, and splinting.Join us in celebrating the rich heritage of Siddha Medicine and its enduring contributions.#SiddhaMedicine #SurgicalPractices #AncientWisdom #HolisticHealing #7thSiddhaDay #NIS #CCRS #Ayush

Beverage in Siddha

12 Days to 7th Siddha Day 

Beverages in Siddha Medicine 

Unlock the wisdom of Siddha beverages, connecting ancient practices with modern solutions:

Beverages play a vital role in breaking down and digesting food, converting it into nourishing body fluids while providing mental satisfaction. Just as hunger signals the need for food, thirst signals the need for beverages.

Water is the base constituent of almost all beverages. Boiled and cooled water is ideal for drinking. Drinking water before meals can reduce appetite, while consuming it after meals aids digestion.

The choice between hot and cold water depends on the food type. Cold water complements grain-based foods, wheat, curd, and honey. Hot water is best for flour-based foods. Buttermilk and curd pair well with cereals and greens, while milk rejuvenates those tired from illnesses, travel, exertion or sun exposure.

Siddha texts recommend 'Sura' for the weak and honey-water for the obese. Those with tuberculosis may benefit from mutton soup. Ancient wisdom guides modern beverage choices!

RAN Therapy in siddha medicine for AIDS

*RAN Therapy in Siddha medicine for AIDS*

Based on a small study, a three-drug Siddha regimen (RAN, for Rasaghanda Mezhugu, Amukkara Chooranam and Nellikkai Lehyam) consisting of 73 ingredients (mostly herbs but also mercury and sulfur) has been approved by the Government of India for treatment of HIV in conjunction with allopathic treatments and is available in a selected number of government hospitals.

👇RAN' - SIDDHA THERAPY

RAN this acronym stands for 1Rasagandhi mezhugu-R, 2Amukkara chooranam - A and 3Nellikkai Ilagam - N, now the most popular Siddha combination for HIV in Tamil Nadu having Immunogenic and adaptogenic properties. RAN therapy is given to HIV patients in the Asia's biggest AIDS hospital at TB Sanatorium, Tambaram, Chennai, South India .

Dr Deivanayagam and co-workers in 2001 have established laboratory evidence supporting the clinical improvement in more than 60 % of the patients who received either RAN alone or in combination with opportunistic infection (OI) controlling drugs. But RAN could not save those with brain infection, or septicaemia.

Since April 2002, the family health clinic of Health India Foundation (HIF), a registered non-governmental charity, has been running an out-patient service for HIV/AIDS at Red Cross Hospital, Chennai. The author, during his tenure as medical officer at HIF for 13 months have himself closely observed and monitored the safety and effect of RAN therapy in patients with mild to moderate HIV disease (Wilson, 2010). Fritts et al., 2008 in his review article from USA have included the pilot trial conducted with RAN therapy.

Note

1Rasagandhi mezhugu (RGM) is polyherbo–mineral formulation in wax form containing 40 herbs.

2 Poly herbal medicated powder prepared using Withania somnifera Dunal (winter cherry) as the chief ingredient.

3Poly herbal electuary prepared using Phyllanthus Emblica, Linn. (Indian gooseberry) as the chief ingredient

First Visiting Professors from Siddha to USA Medical College: Other than the modern (conventional/ allopathic/Western) medical system, the rest are all together called Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). There is a great interest to combine/integrate all CAM together under a single umbrella. The best therapies from various CAM will be integrated with the allopathic medical system based on research evidence. In the CAM table, we would like to make sure Traditional Siddha Medicine (TSM) is also presented without fail. To achieve this, MSM appointed three Siddha Doctors as Adjunct Professors, which is the a great milestone in the TSM history. Dr. Selva Shunmugam, Dr. Uma Senthil and Dr. Arul Amuthan are the three Siddha doctors currently became the Visiting Professors of MSM. On behalf of Siddha community, we thank Dr. Rajagopala Sridaran from MSM and Global Centre for Siddha Medicine and Research (GCSMR) for their immense steps to make this happen. https://www.msm.edu/about_us/FacultyDirectory/Physiology/index.php
