Varmam

The science of Marma /varmam Chikitsa has always been shrouded in mystery and enigma over the centuries for many reasons and the learning of the same and implementation of the same too has been a very tough task. But the scenario has changed. If the reader can spare some time,this page and sub sections reveal a lot.

It has been many years of searching and travelling to different parts of Tamil Nadu that three of us have been trying to have a glimpse of the secretive science of ‘Tamil Varmam / Marma Chikitsa’ and to learn it as much possible. But we had confronted lot of obstacles to learn it as much we could and we still try to learn more. And we are very sure that there are many such doctors like us having the same story and that is precisely why we decided to share our thoughts about the topic.

There are lot of clinical experiences that we have documented by video shooting which we shall be happy to share by website links in the near future.Documentation videos made by me are dedicated to DR Shunmugom sir and on moral grounds I believe they belong to him.

The cases documented are my direct experiences in my govt service patients. I did not find follow ups from every patient.

But the video evidences dispalyed here clearly indicate that Varmam techniques create a ‘magical/ instant’ relief on many occasions.
