Siddha System of Medicine recognizes seven fundamental tissue types, known as Sapta Tathus essential for sustaining life and supporting overall bodily functions. These tissues play a crucial role in maintaining health, and any imbalance in their composition can lead to diseases.


The Seven Essential Tissues in Siddha Medicine


  1. Lymph (Saaram)

    • The carrier of nutrients from the digestive process.

    • Essential for immune function and waste removal from the body.

  2. Blood (Senneer)

    • Directly linked to life and vitality.

    • Blood disorders or poor blood circulation are primary causes of disease.

    • Siddha medicine focuses on blood purification to prevent disease.

  3. Muscle (oon)

    • Provides strength, mobility, and body balance.

    • Muscle tissue health is affected by Vaatham imbalance, which can cause pain, stiffness, or immobility.

    • Proper diet and physical activity are crucial for maintaining muscle health.

  4. Adipose Tissue (Kozhuppu)

    • Fatty tissue plays a significant role in energy storage, hormone production, and cellular function.

    • Essential for joint lubrication and overall endurance.

    • Excess or deficiency of fat is linked to multiple health disorders.

  5. Bone (Elumbu)

    • The primary structural foundation of the body.

    • Acts as a reservoir for calcium and minerals, supporting muscle contraction and nerve function.

    • Bone health is crucial for physical stability and movement.

  6. Marrow (Moolai)

    • Produces blood cells, including red and white blood cells and platelets.

    • Plays a vital role in immune system strength and disease resistance.

    • A healthy marrow ensures proper blood formation and circulation.

  7. Semen & Menstrual Fluids (Sukkilam and Suronitham)

    • Considered highly conserved tissues essential for reproductive health.

    • Siddha medicine advises the controlled release of sperm for overall well-being.

    • Imbalances in menstrual health, such as heavy bleeding or clotting, indicate underlying disorders that require correction.


The Role of Sapta Tathus in Maintaining Health


These seven tissue types interact dynamically to maintain bodily functions, immunity, and energy balance. Siddha medicine emphasizes nourishing these tissues through proper diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbal formulations to prevent imbalances and promote longevity.
