In sithalogy, alchemy plays a vital role in medicine preparations. Generally, siddha medicine is of two types, inner and outer medicine. In this regard, I have already discussed in my previous post and interested readers can refresh this topic, pudamiduthal.
Nuclear and atomic research is the recent advancement in science. In that series, nano field emerges and growing out rapidly. Even though these are part of our recent scientific advancement, interesting part here to look out is that, our ancestors used these techniques in their medicine.
Extending from our human body to the surrounding matters, everything is composed of atoms and molecules. One should understood, these atoms may undergone a change as ions but will not be destroyed. The atoms may combine with other atoms and forms newer compound and their characteristics may differ. From the birth of universe, the atoms remains stable but may undergone structural changes without any destruction.
In sithalogy, medicine preparation is based on this atomic science. The basic structure of making siddha medicine is combining/ removing the similar or varying physical and chemical properties of atoms or compound molecules.
Of course! Many readers have their doubts arisen regarding the relationship between pudam and this atomic science. Siddha medicine generally used the term, appropriating or seasoning atoms, which can be correlated to the fission and fusion of atoms. This action of appropriating atoms is normally called as pudam.
Making pudam is separate branch of siddha medicine. My ultimate aim is to elaborate this scientific process of pudam in simple language in my upcoming posts.
