What is the difference between Siddha and Ayurveda?
Both Siddha and Ayurveda are ancient systems of medicine that are more or less analogous to each other. The Siddha system had its origins in the Southern parts of India and the Ayurveda had its origin from the northern parts of India. In terms of use of herbs for treatment both systems have independently identified different and in many cases similar species. Ayurveda is based on Vedantha Philosophy and Siddha is based on Siddhantha Philosophy.
