Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: KABAM is one of the three humors (connected to humorism, the humoral theory, or humoralism) in the Siddha system of medicine which is a combination of the earth and water. Several classical siddha literatures stated the importance of the tri-humoral personalities of individuals. Hence, analysis of body constituent (in Tamil language "THEGA ELAKKANAM") has been in practice in alternative systems of medicine. Related guidelines are available for identifying specific body constitution types, dietary recommendations and disease susceptibility. Therefore, it is of interest to discuss the "THEGA ELAKKANAM" characters and related diet linked with KABAM.
