The main success of allopathy medicine alias English medicine gains its popularity due its enormous growth in the human anatomical scientific approach. Still, other medicinal treatments depend on the allopathy’s anatomical sciences for curing the disease.
Anatomical science elaborately describes the structure of humans and animals and it is grouped into two types. The first type is called ‘macroscopic anatomy’, where the structure of the organs can be examined with the help of naked eye itself. And another type is called ‘microscopic anatomy’, where the structure of the parts is examined with the help of instrument called microscope.
The information might be little bit elaborative, since it is my field. Cheers! Leaving the allopathy treatmet, other treatments has its own view towards human anatomy. In this sense, Siththars gave detailed lecture on human anatomy, even in the period of no scientific or technological development. Let us see, what Siththars discussed about our human anatomy.
Human body is made up of 96 organs bundled up together. Of course! Let us see what Thirumoolar told in this regard;
"பூதங்கள் ஐந்தும் பொறியவை ஐந்துளும்
poothangal ainthum poriyavai ainthulum
ஏதம் படஞ்செய்து இருந்து புறநிலை
aeetham padanjeythu irunthu puranilai
ஓதும் மலம்குணம் ஆகும்ஆ தாரமொடு
oathum malamkunam aakumaa thaaramodu
ஆதி அவத்தைக் கருவிதொண் ணூற்றாறே
aathi avaththaik karuvithon nootraarae”
- திருமூலர் (Thirumoolar)
The basic of the Siddha medicine is having the in depth knowledge on 96 organs. If we know the basic nature, function and the properties of those organs, we can understand the greatness of the Siddha medicine. Then we can use this medicine effectively.
These 96 organs were divided into 20 types. I have omitted the corresponding poems considering the length of the post.
Let us see the 20 types below:
Arivu
Iruvinai
Moovaasai
Anthakaranangal
