What is Varma therapy?
Varma therapy (varmam kalai) is the traditional Tamil practice of working with varmam — specific vital points of the body — to address pain, stiffness and imbalance. It is part of the same lineage of knowledge as Varmakalai, the martial art that maps these points.
Practitioners describe working with padu (major) and thodu (minor) points using precise manual techniques. This is a traditional-practice description; individual results and responses vary, and varma therapy is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.
