According to the traditional treatment system Siddha (Tamil: Ã, ?????????????? , citta maruttuvam ? ) from ancient India, the human body consists of 96 tattvas (also thathuvas ) or the basic principle.
Siddha medicine comes from Tamil Siddhas or Tamil Nadu spiritual scientists. The fundamental principles of Siddha never distinguish man from the universe. According to them, "Nature is man and man is nature and therefore both are essentially one: Man is said to be microcosm and the Universe is Macrocosm, because what is in the universe is in man."
