| The history of Siddha medicine dates back to pre-hisioric period and ancient literature of Agathiar. It may be handed over from Guru to Sishya. Siddhas existed before the birth of Jesus.1 Siddha system was traditional and believed to have originated from the creator, the fountain head of mercy with his three fold functions of creation, preservation of good and destruction of evil. This goes very well with what is expressed in the words "The Physician treat the God Cures". This system was spread to the world through Sages, Saints, and haloed men. |
