Infants and children are affected more often and experience prolonged symptoms than adults. Coughs and colds are usually caused by a viral infection. They normally clear away on their own, and antibiotics are usually of no use.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even before and after the discovery of germ theory and cell theory, the humoral principle put forward by\u00a0 Siddhars, the great scientists and proponents of Tamil Siddha Medicine System, still holds true. The ancient medicine Siddha and Ayurveda system uses a methodology called <\/span>\u201c<\/b><\/i><\/span>\u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u201d<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>urai mathirai <\/span>. The <\/span>\u201curai mathirai\u201d<\/i><\/span> is something that acts like vaccines, to our wonder this method has been in existence even before discovery of vaccines. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The main reason for most of the people choosing ethnic medicines like Tamil Siddha and Ayurveda for handling cold and cough is due to its simplicity. The Indian medicine system Siddha and Ayurveda handles cold and cough with simple spices at home or by easily available herbs around us. Moreover another foremost reason for choosing ethnic medicine is that it has less or no side effects when compared to usage of antibiotics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Siddha Medicine, common cold and cough are called a kapa diseases (<\/span>\u0b95\u0baa \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>or <\/i><\/span>\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>) <\/span>i.e disease which affects upper respiratory tracts due to vitiation of kabam pulse according to siddha humoral pathology. Colloquially speaking, they are called <\/span>\u201c<\/b><\/span>\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/b><\/i>\u0b9a\u0bb3\u0bbf<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> \u201d<\/b><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/span>.

How Virus Enters body?<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The common cold is a group of symptoms caused by a number of different viruses. There are more than 100 different varieties of viruses that cause colds include, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses (echovirus and coxsackie viruses) and corona virus. Because there are so many viruses that cause the symptoms of the common cold, people may have multiple colds each year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The common cold may occur at any time of year, although most colds occur during winter months, regardless of the geographic location. Cold climates or being exposed to cold air does not cause common colds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to humoral principle of Siddha Medical system, cold is manifested in the body when the infective virus impairs the kapha dosha. This in fact throws the normal balance of vata, pitha and kapha ratio out of balance causing cold, cough & fever in this case. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
