Siddha medicine is a traditional system of medicine that originated in South India. It is commonly known as "Dravidian medicine" and is based on ancient Indian principles and practices. There are several synonyms for the term "Siddha medicine", some of which include "Siddha Vaidya", "Siddha Ayurveda", "Siddha system of medicine", and "Siddha Maruthuvam". This system of medicine has a holistic approach to health and believes in treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms of any disease. Siddha medicine uses a combination of herbs, metals, minerals, and animal products for medicinal purposes. The practitioners of Siddha medicine believe that the body and mind are connected and that a balance between the two is essential for good health.
