Varmam, originating from an ancient martial art, has evolved into a healing science within the Siddha system of medicine. It holds the potential to become a specialized therapeutic practice. According to its principles, the body contains vital energy points known as Varmam points, which facilitate the transmission of vital energy to different body parts and regulate bodily functions. There are 108 defined Varmam points, with 12 major points controlling the functions of vital organs.
Varmam Siddha therapy is believed to be effective for a wide range of diseases and conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and various chronic ailments. However, it’s important to note that while Varmam therapy has been used traditionally for these purposes, its effectiveness may vary and it should be approached with caution and under the guidance of trained practitioners.
