Siddha Chemistry is the scientific study of the principles, properties, transformations and applications of substances described in the Siddha system of medicine. It encompasses the chemistry of herbs, minerals, metals and other natural materials; Siddha alchemy (Rasavatham); preparation and transformation of traditional formulations; pharmaceutical processes; phytochemistry; inorganic and bio-organic chemistry; and the chemical basis of therapeutic action. It also integrates modern approaches such as analytical chemistry, chemical standardisation, quality control, safety evaluation and bioactive compound characterisation. By connecting classical Siddha knowledge with contemporary chemical sciences, Siddha Chemistry provides a scientific foundation for understanding, standardising and advancing Siddha medicines while preserving their unique traditional principles.
