Siddha Care Pathway

Vatham / Vayu Disorders

In the traditional Siddha medical system, the three fundamental humors are known as Mukkuttram or Muppini, comprising Vatham, Pitham, and Kabam. These three humors are believed to regulate and maintain the body's physiological functions.

Vatham, also known as Vayu, is traditionally associated with movement, nerve functions, muscle coordination, and the regulation of bodily activities. It is considered to play an important role in functions associated with the central and autonomic nervous systems.
