Siddha is a Medical Science Based on Spirituality- Dr.P. Hariharan

Santhigiri: Dr.P. Hariharan, Principal-in-Charge,Santhigiri Siddha Medical College conducted an awareness programme today (Thursday 29-09-2022) at 10 am in Santhigiri Spiritual Conference Hall in connection with the 38th Sannyasa Deeksha Varshikam celebrations.

The word ‘Siddha’ means knowledge. The knowledge of Siddha Vaidyam was imparted to the world by the Siddhars who dedicated their lives to God. The Siddhars gave importance to the words of the Guru’s rather than the scriptures. Dr. Hariharan said that the Siddha system had diagnosed 4448 diseases and prescribed remedies.

Siddha treatment is the best way to prevent lifestyle diseases. ‘Food itself is medicine’; that is the concept of Siddha treatment. With regular lifestyle, exercise and diet, we can prevent the onset of diseases to some extent.

During the Covid pandemic, it was found that immunity was the first thing required to fight the disease. It is better to have immunity than to treat the diseases with medicine. If body perishes, life ceases; therefore to save your life, it is necessary to save your body, the doctor said.
