They are ayurveda, yoga & naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy which are popularized by the Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Though, they possess their own indigenous nature and differ from each other, there are certain medicines viz., Trikatuku chooranam, Triphala chooranam which have same composition, are available in ayurveda as well as Siddha Systems of Medicine.
