The Ancient Tamil Art of Healing Through Vital Points
Long before acupuncture made its way into Western integrative medicine, the Siddhars of Tamil Nadu had already mapped the body’s vital energy points with extraordinary precision. They called it Varmam ,and it remains one of the most powerful, yet least understood, healing systems in the world.
At Anilam Siddha Hospital, our Department of Varma & Special Therapy is dedicated to keeping this tradition alive ,practiced with clinical precision by a team of specialized doctors who have trained extensively in this rare art.
What Is Varmam?
Varmam is the science of identifying and manipulating specific energy points (Varma points) distributed across the human body. These points govern the flow of Pranic energy through the body’s vital channels. When these points are blocked, disturbed, or injured ,due to trauma, illness, or accumulated stress ,disease follows.
Varmam therapy corrects these disruptions through skilled manual stimulation, restoring energy flow and activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms. It has two key branches:
- Varma Kalai ,the martial art form, traditionally used in combat and self-defense
- Varma Maruthuvam ,the therapeutic form, used for healing diseases and restoring health
Our department practices Varma Maruthuvam ,with a rigorous, evidence-informed approach.
