Medicinal Plants and their Uses (Siddha Medicinal Plants)

Story behind the Screen....How I started my Work

I am Dr Amritjude, working in Varkala with my spouse Dr Divya Amritjude in my self established clinic "Agasthiyar Guru Siddha Marma Chikitslayam".

Since my college life, I used to maintain a website siddham.in but didn'nt get enough time for blogging due to my studies. During the completion of my course, I wished to do something beneficial for Siddha System and upcoming Siddha buds. In the third year, while studying Materia Medica, a common problem each student faced was to recognise a plant completely. At last, I decided to capture videos of the plants and provide Medicinal importance of them through a blog now available as Siddha Herbarium. In the beginning, I took a group of friends for assistance in capturing Video so that the project becomes beneficial for them too. But after getting started, I felt like the work is going slow and it is not given much importance. Finally I decided that I would make this dream come true, so as soon as I finished my course, I started a you tube channel of Medicinal plants. At the beginning, I had to face a lot of difficulties like going to far off places and capturing videos with limited source. With my clinical income, I bought a tripod and a high definition camera for this. Then my work began in a smooth manner. Though tough to do but during the upload of each plant I felt a great satisfaction within myself. Today almost 1 year completed after hosting and my channel has 84 videos, nearly 600 subscribers and 1000 friends from all over the world with nearly 30,000 views. Their appreciation and comments have really proved much to me. I utilised my website siddham.in to provide the informations of each medicinal plant I uploaded in my youtube channel. Apart from my clinical life, I use to spent about 1hr daily for my site and channel. My wife is also helping me in this work. Any way this blog, Siddha Herbarium is the first step to my new beginning.

Siddham.in is now almost a complete database of different diseases, remedies, Siddha fundamentals, Siddha history and medicinal herbs with their importance. It also contains pages of details of a book in Varmam or Marmam( Malayalam) written by traditional practitioner, Sri P. Cristil Asan, who is my Guru in this field. The details of my clinic and free Online Medical Advices and Reservation for treatments are also available. People from all over the world are writing to us. We really feel proud when letters of appreciation is received for not using this site for revenue making but for sharing knowledge with all.

Siddham.in is a blessing of Agasthiyar Guru for me which has given me a turning point in my clinical life in such a young age. This is indeed the World's first Virtual Siddha Herbal Garden.
