Are you worried about your new born child immunity?

         

            OK let me explain -  usually in Siddha system of medicine there are numerous no. of disease classification, and it is one of the oldest traditional medicine that was followed by the people in Tamil Nadu. Siddhar's have also classified diseases that occur in children. Child from birth up to 5 yrs of age are usually prone to infectious diseases, respiratory infections, diarrhoea, protein malnutrition etc. In Modern system of medicine we could see that after the child's birth  we take care of their health through the "Universal Immunisation Schedule Program". Through this we have been controlling most of the Vulnerable infectious diseases i.e., Malaria, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Pertussis, Measles, Diarrhoea, Protein Energy Malnutrition that is faced by the child up to the age of 5. 

        Siddha System of Medicine also mentions various Immune Boosters by which we can protect our child from common illnesses. Along with the Immunization shots we can also administer Immune Booster which has been mentioned in the classical texts of the Siddha Medicine.
