Discover the Power of Thirithoda Sama Porutkal in Siddha Medicine!

Thirithoda Sama Porutkal refers to a group of substances in Siddha medicine that help balance the three fundamental humours of the body: Vali (Vatham), Azhal (Pitham), and Iyyam (Kapham). These substances are used to maintain harmony and prevent imbalances in the body's physiological and psychological states.

Here are some key Thirithoda Sama Porutkal (substances) used in Siddha medicine to balance the three humours:

1. *Dry Ginger (Zingiber officinale)*: Known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties, ginger helps balance Vatham and Kapham. Add it to buffalo curd and tuber-based food.

2. *Turmeric (Curcuma longa)*: With its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric is effective in balancing all three humours. Add it to any food except sweets.

3. *Pepper (Piper nigrum)*: This spice aids digestion and has warming properties, making it beneficial for balancing Vatham and Kapham. Use it as an alternative to chilli.

4. *Garlic (Allium sativum)*: Known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties, garlic helps maintain the balance of all three humours. Add it to dal and tuber-based food.

5. *Cumin (Cuminum cyminum)*: This spice aids in digestion and is particularly good for balancing Vatham and Kapham. Add it to any spicy food to reduce bloating stomach.

6. *Cardamom*: This spice aids in digestion and prevents bad breath. Add it to sweets and meat.

7. *Asafoetida*: Asafetida aids in digestion and helps alleviate stomach issues like gas, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Use it along with dhals.

8. *Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)*: Fenugreek seeds are rich in fiber and antioxidants, which help in improving digestion and relieving constipation. Add it to spicy food.

These substances can be added to specific food preparations to reduce their ill effects and promote overall well-being.
