dc.description.abstractSiddha Medicine is one of the ancient Tamil medical system. Disease caused in the human body shows different symptoms. Siddha diagnosis of disease is based on eight types of diagnostic tools(en vagaithervu) in which naadi plays an important role. The treatment method of Siddha Medicine is based on three vital humours (Vatha, Pitha and Kapha) which in turn based on panchabootham. Siddhars said about various diseases and the treatment methods with herbs, minerals and animal products. The coronovirus (COVID 19) infection is a pandemic disease and it needs special attention. Diagnosis itself becomes a challenge to all medical fields. It is important to rule out the correct diagnosis.
