This book "maranthu pona maruthuvam" provides details on the traditional siddha methods of curing a disease or preventing the disease. It is lucid on details on how people followed certain brainy food habits on daily regime and what kept them healthy. Few things were completely ruled out or made to forget deliberately by government or foreign markets in order to make dollars out of it. It was more like making our age old granny to sit beside us and speak about her days.
