  2. Causes
Vettiveru
Vettiveru (Chrysopogon zizanioides)

In Siddha tradition, excess body heat and environmental impurity are primary causes of physical imbalance.

  • Excess Pitha (body heat)
  • Impure drinking water
  • Inflammation and skin discomfort
  • Heat-related fatigue and restlessness

Vettiveru is traditionally used to cool the body, purify water, and restore harmony between the body and its surroundings.

Davana
Davana (Artemisia pallens)

Siddha philosophy recognizes mental disturbance as a root cause of many physical and emotional conditions.

  • Stress and mental restlessness
  • Disturbed sleep patterns
  • Anxiety and emotional instability
  • Lack of mental discipline

Davana supports mental calmness, emotional balance, and clarity through its subtle aromatic nature.

palmarosa
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii)

Weak vitality and disturbed Vatha–Kapha balance are considered key causes of recurring discomfort.

  • Low natural immunity
  • Dryness and physical fatigue
  • Hormonal and energy imbalance
  • Lack of inner vitality

Palmarosa is valued in Siddha practice for restoring strength, improving vitality, and supporting immune balance.

“A healthy body, a pure environment, and a disciplined lifestyle are the true medicines of the Siddhars.”
