SIDDHA TREATMENT

  Siddha or Ayurvedha is a treasure of India with an ample of classical literary


evidence, the safety and effectiveness of these medicines are still under debate
among both adherents and skeptics. 
 Though many of the remedies have been in use for hundreds of years, critics
argue the claims of therapeutic efficacy of traditional medicine. In this aspect
through this research study, we have hypothesized a scientific basis for Siddha
herbal regimen Kabasura kudineer and Siddha herbomineral regimen
Brammanandha Bairavam to have possible clinical efficacy for the prevention and
management of COVID-19 Stage-1 infection thereby enabling the disease
management and to aid in inhibiting the progression of COVID-19 to stage 2 and
stage-3.
Coronavirus: Siddha treatment has 100%
success rate, claims Tamil Nadu minister
  “There is a 100% success rate,” the state’s Development Minister K Pandiarajan

said. “We are not endangering lives. Siddha is a trump card for us. We are
blending Siddha, Yoga and Ayurveda. There is no empirical verification but there
is enough history. People have faith. We are documenting many cases now.”
 Pandiarajan added that “Siddha doesn’t have the last mile – ventilator or oxygen
support”, and so “allopathy takes over for such cases”. Such cases are less than
3% of the total, he said. Essentially, he meant that the treatment would work for
mild cases and not serious ones.
Siddha not proven through documented
studies, trials and results’
 However, the scientific community was skeptical and urged caution. “We have
nothing against it but the only problem is Siddha is not proven through
documented studies, trials and results
 The treatment is known to involve use of heavy metals leading to kidney issues in
the long run. But allopathy goes through trials with animals first, then sick
patients and healthy people. That’s why Siddha isn’t accepted internationally
 There is no scientific evidence of alternative cures for the coronavirus. Efforts are
being made worldwide to find a vaccine for the disease, with a few inoculation
candidates progressing to the human trial stage.
