Sidhah - #5328

Anonymously

I recently came across Sidhah and learned that it’s a traditional Indian healing system similar to Ayurveda. While I’m somewhat familiar with Ayurveda, I don’t know much about Sidhah and how it works. Can someone explain the main principles of Sidhah and how it differs from Ayurveda? From what little I’ve read, Sidhah focuses on balancing the elements in the body and uses a combination of herbal medicine, dietary guidelines, and physical therapies. How is this different from Ayurveda’s approach to health? For instance, does Sidhah have its own concept of doshas, or does it follow a completely different framework? I’m particularly interested in how Sidhah is used to treat chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or respiratory issues. Are there specific treatments or herbs unique to Sidhah that aren’t found in Ayurveda? Also, is Sidhah widely practiced, or is it mostly limited to certain regions of India?

Siddha is indeed a traditional Indian healing system that shares some similarities with Ayurveda but also has its distinct approach. Both systems focus on balancing the elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) within the body, but Siddha places a stronger emphasis on the concept of *Prana* (life force) and the body's *Vazhi* (natural flow). Unlike Ayurveda, which uses the three doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha) to explain the body's imbalances, Siddha focuses on the balance of *Vatham* (air), *Pittam* (fire), and *Kapham* (water), but also incorporates a fourth element called *Azhutham*, which represents the concept of a balanced state. Siddha medicine often uses a combination of herbs, mineral-based medicines, and alchemical preparations unique to its system, such as *Rasa Shastra* (alchemy), which is less common in Ayurveda. For chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and respiratory issues, Siddha employs both internal medicines (herbal powders, tinctures) and external therapies (oil massages, fomentations, and poultices). While Ayurveda is widely practiced across India and internationally, Siddha is more prevalent in Tamil Nadu and some parts of South India, though it is gaining recognition in other regions as well. Both systems share foundational similarities but differ in their methodology, treatments, and philosophical underpinnings.
