Siddha medicine developed by the Siddhars (The Siddhars were the greatest spiritual scientists on those days, they were the seekers of truth. "SIDDU" means "knowledge or wisdom" and "SIDDHI" means attainment of perfection. One who had attained perfection in life are called Siddhars), which has its origin in South India, is the oldest medical system in the world. Some people claim that Ayurveda is the oldest medicine so it needs some explanation.

Siddha is a medicine which was practiced even during the time of Dravidians. Historias accept that Dravidians were the oldest race in India. There is a popular saying in Tamil Language which says "Tamils were the race who lived with swords even during the actual formation of the earth". The Geographical evidence of the deccan plateaue also stands evidence that human life might have originated in South India.

Since number of people, preferring natural health remedies and herbal health remedies are increasing day by day and Indian medical systems like Ayurveda is gaining popularity all over the world now a days, I think its the best time to educate you about a better medical system which is not that popular - Siddha Medicine, Which Is Far More Advanced than Ayurveda For Usage of Herbs, Metals, Minerals As Well As Animals and Siddha System of Medicine is the Oldest Medical System in existence.

Siddha System propounded by the Siddhars is a vast and unique system which defines health as a Perfect State Of Physical, Psychological, Social And Spiritual Well Being of an individual. The system not only deals with medicine, but with spirituality, righteous way of living, rejuvenation and its main aim, Attainment of Perfection. Siddhars knew that the only way of stopping the cycle of rebirths was by making the body as strong as a stone, unaffected by diseases, old age or even death. Thus the Kayakalpa System was formed.

No doubt, the Siddha System of Medicine is one among the foremost of all other medical systems of the world. The other systems are concerned with treatment and preventive aspects only. But Siddha Medicine is the only system which bestows immortality.
