Dual Aims of Siddha
- To maintain the health of the healthy individual
- To treat the disease of the diseased
( General Physician )
This unique Asian system of Siddha medicine is based on the concept of the Mukkutram (the bio-energetic forces) and it postulates that health = harmonious existence of these forces and that their disharmony results in diseases. According to Siddha, life or existence is not a rigid compartment, but a harmonious flow.
Siddha analyzes an individual’s constitution and defines varieties in disease manifestation. A Siddha sees it, the symptoms of a disease are but the body calling attention to states of disequilibrium. Even the five elements (earth, water, air, ether, and fire) of which the whole universe is made of, are not tight compartments of defined objects.
They flow into one another. Each of the elements contains the other four. The subtlest element in us is space, which the mind is made up of, and the grossest is the earth element, which our bones, marrow, skin, and structure are made of.
This is further divided into Mukkutram — Vazhi (Vatham), Azhal (Piththam) and Iyam (Kapham). This is a way to understand our physiology, its characteristics, and its reflections on the mind. When an illness arises, it comes first in the thought form, the subtlest aspect, then the sound form, and then the light form, which is in the aura. It is only then that the illness manifests in the body. Simple symptoms arise in the fluid form, which can be eradicated, and then it manifests in the grossest form, where it needs medication. But with the practice of Siddha, the illness can be nipped in the bud.
