Disease And Its Diagnosis

The condition of the human body in which the dietary habits, daily activities and the environmental influence keep the Three Humours in equilibrium is considered as Healthy Living. Disease is a condition in which there is derangement in the Five Elements, which alters the Three Humours, which is also reflected in the Seven Physical Constituents. The change could be an increase or decrease in the equilibrium.

It is always essential to identify the cause for any disease to be accepted as a scientific method. The diagnostic methodology in Siddha treatment is unique as it is made purely on the basis of the 'Clinical acumen' of the physician. The Physician examines the tongue, complexion, speech, eyes, palpatory findings in a patient and also examines the urine and stools. The diagnosis is then confirmed by the 'Pulse Diagnosis'. The interrogation plays only a very minimal role. The examination for the above is called as the 'Eight Tools Of Diagnosis'.

These diagnostic tools not only help for diagnosis but also to learn the prognosis and restoration of health. The 'Pulse Diagnosis' is very unique in Siddha Medicine, which was introduced to other Indian Systems Of Medicine at a later period. The pulse is examined in the Right hand of males and the left hand for females. The pulse is recorded at the Radial-artery. The unit of pulse diagnosis is 1 for Vatham 1/2 for Pitham and 1/4 for Kapham. This unit is equivalent to the size of a grain (wheat).
