Varmam

Varmam is a branch of Siddha system of medicine, which initially evolved as an ancient martial art. Later, Varmam practice had an interesting transformation to a healing science. Even though it stands as a branch of Siddha system of medicine, it holds the potential to establish itself as a specialty healing therapy. According to theory, there are Varmam points in the body which are vital energy storing points through which vital energy is transmitted to the various parts of the body and all the functions of the body are mediated. 108 Varmam points are defined and these are used to stimulate energy, heal disease or stimulate the immune mechanism. Among the 108, 12 are major or vital points which control the function of the vital organs of the body
