As already told there are 32 types of external therapy in Siddha medicine. Each is specialized in a unique way.
One such type of external therapy is "SEELAI". This method is a simple procedure and can be done in home itself. For this we need a clean and pure cotton white cloth,a plate, medicated oil as prescribed by a Siddha physician.
Take the plate and heat it in the gas stove, pour the medicated oil in it so that it gets heated. Now put the cloth in the oil and take it and spread it out over the area where the pain or odema is present.
This gives simple relief to patients who are suffering from pain. This procedure is carried out for a period of half an hour only. The heat must be only up to the tolerance level of the patient. Otherwise the patient will feel uncomfortable.
