🌿 Standardizing Siddha Therapeutics | From Classical Wisdom to Contemporary Practice

The journey of Siddha medicine standardization is not about replacing tradition, it is about translating established therapeutic knowledge into structured, reproducible and quality-assured practice.

Proud to share the publication of Indian Standard IS 19737 : 2026 – Siddha Pukai (Fumigation) Therapy — Code of Practice, by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Pukai (Fumigation) is one among the 32 external therapies in the Siddha system of medicine, involving the therapeutic application of medicated fumes or smoke using herbal, aromatic and other traditional substances.

The standard provides comprehensive guidance on:
🔹 Procedure room requirements and infrastructure
🔹 Human resource qualifications and responsibilities
🔹 Equipment specifications and fumigation materials
🔹 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for different methods of Pukai application
🔹 Pre-procedure assessment and patient consent
🔹 Patient safety, hygiene and protective measures
🔹 Post-procedure care, monitoring and soot clearance
🔹 Precautions and management of adverse events
🔹 Model Informed Consent Form and Case Record Form (CRF)

The standardization of traditional therapeutic procedures is essential to bridge the gap between classical knowledge and contemporary healthcare practices, while preserving the fundamental principles of Siddha medicine.

This initiative represents a meaningful contribution towards:
· Evidence-informed practice of traditional medicine.
· Patient-centric and safer clinical implementation.
· Uniformity in therapeutic procedures.
· Strengthening research, education and professional training.
· Greater recognition of India's traditional systems of medicine.

As we move forward, let us continue working towards the scientific advancement, standardization and global recognition of Siddha medicine.

BIS is preserving traditional knowledge, promoting standardized practice and is advancing siddha healthcare.
