Abstract 

Uniform treatment protocol to manage type-2 diabetes - CTMR

post-edit 1 comments
A uniform treatment protocol backed by 59 practising Siddha physicians and NGOs across Tamil Nadu was put forward by the Chennai-based Centre for Traditional Medicines and Research (CTMR) for managing type-2 diabetes.

The protocol was declared in a seminar of Siddha doctors on the world diabetes day in Chennai by CTMR. According to the organisation, the protocol is to be accepted and followed by all Siddha practitioners in India in order to develop a common code of function for diabetes treatment, and rules to regulate it.

Due to lack of an established pattern for applying Siddha treatment methods on patients at different places, the stakeholders are losing so many advantages and the system is ignored on several occasions, opined doctors assembled in the seminar.

Someone who is a coach, role model and friend,
Never tells you how or what
Who offers new perspectives
But helps you find the answers within yourself
Who nurtures his people to be better than himself 
Someone who shows you all the moves
And then applauds from the stands, 

as you break the stereotype,

Lets nurture the leaders within us!
Happy teachers day!

The Alchemical Body - Siddha Traditions in Medieval India-book on Siddha Medicine

post-edit 2 comments

The Alchemical Body excavates and centers within its Indian context the lost tradition of the medieval Siddhas.

Working from a body of previously unexplored alchemical sources, David Gordon White demonstrates for the first time that the medieval disciplines of Hindu alchemy and Hatha Yoga were practiced by one and the same people, and that they can only be understood when viewed together.

White opens the way to a new and more comprehensive understanding of medieval Indian mysticism, within the broader context of South Asian Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Islam.
