- Siddha: The Siddha system of traditional medicine is based on 96 principles, or Thathuvas, that include the physical, physiological, psychological, and intellectual aspects of the human body. The word "Siddha" comes from the word "Siddhi", which means "achievement of perfection, eternal bliss, and accomplishment". The Siddha system is the oldest traditional medicine in ancient India and was developed by Tamil Siddhas or spiritual scientists from Tamil Nadu.
- Unani: The Unani System of Medicine is a result of the fusion of traditional knowledge from ancient civilizations like Egypt, Arabia, India, Iran, China, and Syria. The Unani System originated in Greece and established itself in India during the medieval period.
