The 32 External Siddha Medicines:<\/h1>\n

The traditional Dravidian system of medicine referred to popularly as siddha medicine is a vast repository of external therapies particularly, administration of drugs through routes other than oral. These procedures are as important as the internal siddha medicines in the management of health and disease. In several instances, only the procedure without any drug is sufficient and these procedures are already systematized. Great stress is laid by siddhas, the promoters of the Tamil siddha medical system, on these procedures not only in prevention and cure of disease but also promotion of health. Most of thses therapies are aimed at maintaining a healthy balance of the three physiological factors or humors (Tridosham), vaatham, pittham, kapam and also seven bodily constituents.<\/p>\n

The thirty two external therapies include opthalmic application, nasal application, aural application, oleation, steam therapy, physical manipulation therapies, heat therapies, other topical applications, bone setting, blood letting etc.<\/p>\n
