Om Ganeshaya Thunai. Om Agatheesaya Thunai.
There is a famous poet in TamilNadu.; Bharathiyaar. He has written a one liner. Enna illai nam thirunaatil, en endhugirom kaiyai velinaatil.
meaning what we do not have in India, why are we asking …from other countries.
I am such a big of fan of alternative medicine, because in our family we use a lot and we have seen lot of changes.
My grandmother had passed a lot of adages that made us remember herbs through songs and my mom keeps saying them. Even now, when I speak to my aunt who lives in the village, she will definitely mention what her mother in law used to cook, or give medicines.
My only argument when people are skeptical about believing olden medicines are, what agenda people had in those ages? To earn money? definitely not.
Agathiyar and other 17 Siddhars have written so much about herbs and medications. It’s a sad thing that even if it is written in Tamil, I am not able to follow it. Because they used ancient Tamil and in riddles. No direct information. I wonder why? There must be a reason.
Here I am planning to share some info on the herbs that I know about.
Please do your research before following anything.
