Siddha Vaidya is a typical method of treatment which is being done as hereditary by
generation after generation. And this
process continues through generation after generation. During olden days there were many famous
Siddha Vaidyas in Kerala who were experts in treating complicated ailments and cure them. Their successors
are now keeping their mantle. But majority of the people in our State isnot
aware of the effectiveness of this system of
treatment and are relying upon solely
on allopathic treatment for any ailment.
Many years back I had taken my daughter to an allopathic doctor for treatment of dislocation of knee. She had first developed this problem while
participating in some running competition
at the school. This had re-occurred many
times causing limping and swelling of knees.
On consulting the doctor at a
private hospital nearby, I was advised that
the only remedy for the same is surgery.
She had experienced the same complication once in a while for more than a year. The
following year she had to go to Trivandrum District for higher studies.
It was a mere coincidence that at that time I had come across a report on hereditary
Siddha Vaidyas appearing in a weekly. In that report the details regarding Siddha
Vaidya treatment clinic at a village in Vizhinjam, Trivandrum District of
Kerala were given. That Vaidya was brother of Shakthan Nadar the
present MLA who happened to be a Minister at that time. I took my daughter to
his clinic in Vizhinjam for
consultation. He had given some medicines
to be taken as also for external application.
He has advised for a treatment
lasting 3 months for total recovery.
However, my daughter could only take treatment for hardly 1 ½ months
from his clinic. This was due to the
fact that the clinic was situated in an area where there was a den of
anti-social elements and on seeing my daughter going to the clinic and
returning every week , some people in the vicinity had cautioned her against
visiting that area frequently from
safety point of view.
Though she had to discontinue the treatment when it was half
way through and was under treatment of that
Siddha Vaidya only for 1 ½ months instead
of 3 months, to our utter disbelief and surprise she had completely recovered from the problem of
dislocation of knee by that treatment and did not experience the same problem any
more.
