Varma Concept

Pragmatic concept of marma — Presentation Transcript 

―maŕma means seat of vayu or prâna‖



Mamsa (Muscles)Asthy (Bones)Snayu(Tendons & ligaments)Dhamani (Arteries)Sira (Veins)Sandhi (Joints)All of them are considered to be the seat of Prana.



They may result in death, serious functional impairment or deformities upon injuries.Marmasare certain vital structures of the body. Structurally they are composed of all the components of the human body in different propositions. Injury to Marmas result in neurological disorders, as the injury may predispose atrophy,paralysis etc. Equilibrium of Tridoshas are deranged on injuries. Injury also result in psychic imbalance.

MAŔMA- THE SPECIALISED CARTEL OF ‗CHETANA‘ Chaturvimshatithatwatmakpurusha‘ is not the subject of therapeutic interventions. Shaddhathujapurusha = chetana + panchamahabhutas Purusha devoid of the spirit of chethanadhathu becomes obsolete in ayurvedic outlook. Human life =incorporation of chethanadhathu/prana in to the jada(morbid) + fundamental elements (mahabhutas).

15. THANTRASAREERA AND MAŔMASthulasareeraand sukshmasareera. TS is the explanation of the subtler aspects of the body constituted by the shud-chakras, a connecting nadees, the sookshmasrothasus and the circulating prâna. Only a proper understanding of this can help one two identify the physiology of maŕma and the pathology involved in maŕmabhigata. This is essential in understanding and implementing the adankals or the primary management of maŕmabhigata



17. Marma and Sidha systemmarmas are invisible but could be traced or located at point where body and psychic energies are concentrated together .marma is the blockage of vital energy (vasi—lord Siva)in the body. The blockage could be due to external physical injuries ,psychological passion &their effects through doshas. the effect is felt by psychic energy, therefore marmas are controlled by psychic power ,these points are called as ―Maitheendakalam‖ the marmas are divided into two types. Paduvarman 12Thoduvarman



18. PADU VARMAN The place where the energy is blocked 12 in number. Each paduvarman is the junction of 8 thoduvarman sites. Paduvarman are travelling through the entire body. Subdivided in Siva kalai(male),Shaktikalai(female) Paramakalai(both energies together)



19. Thilarthakalam ----- located at the centre of two eyes(this is the sthapanimarma in ayurveda)Pidarivarman ----- similar to ―ida‖ nadi in yogaSumanivarman ----- at the site of visudha chakra(in throat)Nervarman ----- at the site of hridayaUrumikalam ----- at the site of manipura chakraKallidaikalam ----between two testiclesNatchathirakalam ----- similar to gudamarma1

Classification of Marmas in AyurvedaVagbhataSusrutha107107 Marmas can be

grouped under 5 major divisions, each of which is again divided into 5 sub divisions. 

23Major Divisions1. According to the structure involved (niveshabheda) – mamsamarma, dhamaneemarma etc.According to traumatology / prognostic aspect (vyapathbheda) – Sadyapranahara etc.According to location / site (angabheda) – Udaramarma etc.According to metrics (samkhyabheda) – ekasamkhya etc.According to size (manabheda) – ex. Panithalonmana



26. General classifficationAyurvedicmaŕma.Kulayanamaŕma - Same as in mentioned in Ayurveda. - it is for warriors to afflict the maximum possible injury in combat and also used as a self defense. - different symptoms of injuries and - different techniques applied to relieve the same. Adankal - to relieve emergency symptoms of maŕmabhigata. 3. Abhyasamaŕma - practiced in the area of Malabar (north kerala) - martial arts - points to hurt the humans.

40HOW MARMA THEORY WORKSNeuro Endocrine TheoryDue to pressure over these points, certain chemical substances and neurotransmitters are released like endorphins and enkephalin which sends nerve impulse to brain causing the desired effect.



41The gate control theory of painNerve fibers are large bundles of various size- some are thick and some are thin. Thin transmit the sensation of pain while the thick carry the tactile sensation. Thus if the thick impulse is increased this selectively blocks the conduction of thin fibers. This is called the gate control theory.



42Other Theories.The very small electrical changes that occur at the marma points is found to be capable of producing effects far in excess of the tiny electrical change at the point responsible for triggering the desired effect.



Chiropractic treatments usually involve adjusting the joints and bones in a person's spine using twisting, pulling, or pushing movements. Some chiropractors use heat, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound to help relax the person's muscles before doing a spinal adjustment. Chiropractic medicine originated in the late 1800s in the United States. CT is a hands-on therapy based on the theory that subluxations in the spine may cause many medical disorders (nervous disorders)Chiropractic treatment



46. Maŕmakshatasamanyachikiťsa (maŕmaghata)Maŕma therapy is based on the panchabhuta and tridoshã theory of ayurveda. These are practically divided in to two. Primary management and secondary management. But Athreyaparambara and Danwanthariyaparampara not mention of the primary managements involving immediate manipulations. Only the subsequent management of maŕmagata in the light of tridoshã theory which constitutes the secondary management seems to have been mentioned by them.





48. Adankal The techniques for relieving the emergency symptoms of maŕmabhigathaThe techniques are usually strikes, hits, blows or presses to certain particular

locations in the body.The quantum of measurement of impact to nerve centre is known as ‗mathirai‘. The adankal is used to relieve symptoms like unconsciousness, shivering, protrusion of tongue; convulsions etc. 51 adankals out of these 13 are widely used. Egvayullaadankal, unnakkinadiyil, alavil, alavadiputtukal etc 

VASTHI According to AcharyaCharaka; the maŕmas are to be protected from aggravated vayu, because the aggravated vayu is responsible for aggravation of pitha, kapha and the élan vitae is dependent upon this vayu. The vayu is best treated with vasthi so, there is none other than vasthi therapy which can safeguard the vital organs.

1. Thirumoolarvarmology institute,coimabotre, art research institute (ARI)To know more about siddha varma in clinical practice Introduction to Varmam The points where life force resides and flows in the human body are known as varmam. Varmam also means where breathing enery resides in the body (Vaakata Nithanam : Verse 31). Varmam are scattered over various parts of body like in nerves, nerve joints, bones, muscles, ligaments and inner organs. Based on where varmam is located in the body, it has gathered various names like Vasi, Puravi, Kaalam, Uyir, Mayakkam, Pranan, Kalai, Suvaasam, Saram, Yogam, Param and Sivam. This has been mentioned in the Tamil text, Vaakata Nithanam.

Based on this song, the word Varmam referred to flow of life force in relationship with breathing. In Malayalam, Varmam is known as Marmam .

History of Varmakalai Varmakalai (the art of varmam) is considered to be very auspicious. It is believed that Lord Siva taught this art form. Indians overwhelm by saying that all rare art forms originate with roots from God. For example, epics illustrate that Tamil and Sanskrit have their origin from the sound of the 'Oodukkai' (musical instrument in the hand of Lord Siva). Bharatha Naatiyam (the traditional dance) originated from Lord Siva. Kama Sutra (the art of love and sex) originated from Lord Siva. So it is of no surprise when it is said that varmakalai, the rare art that saves humans from diseases, also originated from Lord Siva.

According to the above versus, Lord Siva taught varmam to his wife Parvathi; later Parvathi taught varmam to their son Lord Murugan. Lord Murugan then taught Siddha Agasthiyar. Agasthiyar later gave a written form that reached the masses. But the original texts (and their copies), directly written by siddhas, are not available now. Saints who have grasped the meaning of the siddhas sayings have given a poetic form, which is used in modern day learning. So far, around fifty thousand (50,000) songs are available. The narrated history has been mentioned in the 41st prose of " Kai Mathirai Thiravukol " as follows:

The above narration cannot be merely considered as a made-up story. One of the names that denote varmam is 'Siva'. Another name that denote varmam is 'Vasi', which means air. If you repeat 'vasi' continuously, you can hear 'Siva'. 'Sivam' means life. That is why Thirumoolar preached the philosophy of 'Love is Sivam' (Love is Life). One of the current available texts 'Sarasuthram' gives the criteria for teaching varmam to eligible students.

It says that a varmam teacher should teach varmam only to a 'sivayogi'. Sivayogi is the one who loves all life forms. In all the varmam texts written since Thirumoolar till ones in 18th - 19th century, varmam is spoken along with sivam. The history that is said so far has been taken from epics. In reality, varmakalai might have its roots in self-defense martial arts. It is the tactics man might have learnt by observing birds and animals. In Kalari (Defense Varmalogy), practiced in southern Tamil Nadu and Kerala, various forms like Elephant Form, Tiger Form, Fox Form, Lion Form, Hanuman Form, and etc. are still in use. In cockfight, to improve the fighting spirit, the owner of the cock will massage the back of the cock. This looks similar to how now a days the teacher gives a pat on the student's shoulder to encourage him or her. From the medieval period, the ornaments worn by man in the ears, fingers, legs and foot, knowingly or unknowingly gave him health and energy. The body piercing done in the name of god also helped him to improve his life. Similar to how circumstances helped him to learn the about various parts in the body that helped him to improve the health, he also learned about the parts that caused illness. He used this knowledge to attack his enemy and create damage. On the other hand when he got hit, with spiritual thoughts, he cured himself by tuning the points that revived the good health. Though he could command victory over his enemies, he also performed rituals and took the help of 'Kalari Moorthy - Kali' god. Also to save the life of the people, who were injured by his enemy, he took the help of the god 'Kalari Moorthy - Sarabesvarar'. Hence, for the growth of varmakalai, mankind's capability, thinking process and action played a dominant role. Our ancestors invented this art to help the mankind. It is our duty to preserve this rare art.

Books on Varmam The main purpose of this rare ancient art of varmam is to save the precious human lives. Misuse of this ancient art has caused our masters and ancestors to conceal informative texts about varmam, which are in the form of palm-leaf manuscripts. Today, those manuscripts are in the brink of extinction. Hundreds of such rare manuscripts are scattered across many houses in South India (Tamil Nadu and Kerala). It is our duty to collect, processes, and transform these rare manuscripts into a form helpful to the Siddha Medicine. It is also our duty to safeguard these valuable texts and pass it on to the next generation. Thirumoolar Varmalogy Institute vows to do this task. By analyzing the varmam texts that are collected so far, our researchers have arrived at the following seven hypotheses of teaching varmam. They are: 

Teaching varmam points in relationship with self-defense

     

Teaching Teaching Teaching Teaching Teaching Teaching

varmam points and their characteristics varmam points in relationship with nervous system varmam points in relationship with skeletal system reviving methods to cure diseases caused by varmam medicines to cure diseases caused by varmam spells (mantras) to cure diseases caused by varmam

Hundreds of similar such texts are never published and the world has no clue about them.

Varmam School of Thoughts On researching over the available varmam texts, it is evident that varmam has grown under three independent schools of thoughts, mainly governed by three ancient siddha's namely Akasthiyar, Bohar and RamaDevar.

  

A1: Same author wrote all the three books under this category A3: Same author wrote all the three books under this category A1, A2, and A3: Three different authors wrote each category of books

If we research the basic philosophies of the books in the category A1, A2 and A3, we can reach the philosophy of School A. Similarly by researching the basic philosophies of the books in other categories, we can arrive at the following three school of thoughts.   

Akasthiar School of Thought Bohar School of Thought Rama Devar School of Thought

Please note that though we haven't come across any books written by Rama Devar, a separate school of thought has been created under his name. This is based on the inference from the following poem:

Varmam in Self Defense (Kalaripayattu) To protect oneself from the enemies, man invented the art of self-defense. Each country has it's own indigenous form of martial arts. Kalaripayattu, Naatu Murai, Kuthu Varisai, and Malyutham are some amongst the vast martial arts of Indian origin. In Indian martial art Kalaripayattu, there are not only techniques for self-dense, but there are also techniques to collapse the enemy by attacking on the varmam points. Kalaripayattu is divided into two schools namely:  

Therkan Kalaripayattu (Southern Kalaripayattu) Vadakkan Kalaripayattu (Northern Kalaripayattu)

Vadakkan Kalaripayattu gives importance to weapons training where as Therkan Kalaripayattu gives importance to hand to hand combat techniques. You should never strike a varmam points using knife or sword. Instead, you can damage a varmam point by striking with hand or by a stick. Such techniques are numerous in the Therkan Kalaripayattu. The following are various forms available in Therkan Kalaripayattu:                  

Nilaiyangam (technique of blocking the attacks without moving from where you stand) Piriyangam Mariyangam China Suvadu China Silath Ethiradavu Jodi Murai Kurunthadi (Short stick) Nedunthadi (Long stick) Sirama Varisai Ayutha Varisai Suvadu Nilai (Angam 64) Kattu Varisai Nadasari Murai (Savittu Murai) Poottum Pirivum Olivu Murai Perruka Murai (Anchettu Perrukam, Naalettu Perrukam) Munda Varisai

Of the above 18 forms, specifically Angam 64, Perruka Murai, Siraman Varisai and Olivu Murai work in tandem with varmalogy. The Angam 64 form is about making steps within 8 feet circumference and attacking 64 varmam points on the opponent's body and make him immobile. This form is one of the toughest to master. Similarly Siramam Varisai consists of having sticks of 3/4th feet length in both hands and using them to strike the varmam points on the opponent's body. Usually masters teach this form by combining song, music and dance movements. The varmam text named Eddu describes the distance from the varmam points should be struck. Learning this martial art will provide greater protection to women. In this modern day, this art is very important for women.

Varma Therapy Studies about each varmam's (pressure points) characteristics like location of the varmam, depth and width of varmam, the pressure with which the varmam has to be tuned to cure diseases constitutes the mainstream study in varma therapy. We could develop varmam related injuries due to the following reasons:        

Lifting heavy loads Excessive pleasure Excessive sorrow Excessive sleep Accidents Engaging in fights Giving birth to a child Etc.

The various techniques that can be applied to cure varmam related injuries are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Marukaalam Thirumal Murai Adangal Murai Thiravukol Murai Thadaval Murai [Applying massage techniques] Marunthu Murai [Applying medicines] Vayu Nilai Amarthal Kattu Murai

Techniques like Marukaalam and Thiravukol Murai are used for instant relief. Techniques like Thadaval Murai and Thirumal Murai should be done at least for three consecutive days to give relief from varmam related injuries. Reviving of a Fainted Individual If an individual has fainted due to varmam attack, he or she first should be diagnosed by a Varmaani (Varmam Doctor / Varmam Master / Varmam Asan). Varmaani should start the diagnostics by observing the color of cornea and the color of the teeth of the patient. Then varmaani checks the flow in Vata, Pita, and Kapha nadis. If he is satisfied with the

flows in these nadis, varmaani should proceed to the next step in the treatment. Now, varmaani should apply the Kavzhi Adangal ( Adangal - technique in which pressure points are tuned in specific pattern) to regulate blood flow, temperature and pranic flow in the patient's body. Then varmaani should apply Puzhimuthu Adangal to stimulate the Kalai Nerves (major nerves through which pranic energy flow in the body). At this point, varmaani can notice the patient starting to regain the consciousness and tiredness being reduced. Then on applying Nasiyam in patient's nose or using blowing techniques in patient's nose or ears, the patient will completely regain consciousness. Then Thiravukozh (method to open varmam) should be applied to release the affected varmams. Once the patient has attainted stable condition, varmaani should either enquire the patient about the accident to know the area in which patient was hit or should analyze the flow of nadis to locate the affected region. Then, varmaani should apply the proper Thadavazh Murai (massaging techniques). Based on the area in the body that was affected, the varmaani should know the diseases that might arise in the future. According both internal medication and external medication should be prescribed. Such treatment should consider the varmams located in nerves, muscles and bones. Dealing with Fractures Varmaani should have knowledge about bone structure and joints. When a patient with bone fracture approaches him, first he should stop the wastage of blood by blocking the required nerves. He should then use the necessary pads to fix veins and arteries and should put a proper dressing using cloths. The technique in which the dressing is done varies depending up on the location on the fracture. To heal the fracture, the dressing should allow path for proper air circulation and also should have provision to administer herbal oils to cure the wounds. The dressing should be removed and redone for seven times and each time the dressing should be done based on the current condition of the bones. In addition, internal medicines should also be prescribed to the patient. Other Disorders Various other disorders that can be cured with the help of varma therapy are:            

Nerves weakness Body shivering Disk prolapse Dehydration Cervical spondylosis Head ache Sciatic Problems Eye problems ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) problems Bone joints and arthritics Gland disorders (like Diabetes, etc.) Etc.

Relation with Other Fields Varmam has relationship with other fields like Siddha Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga, Astronomy, Psychology, Tantra, Anka Sasthra and many others. Varmam and Siddha Medicine Siddha medicine is the one of the oldest medical systems originated from India. Varmam is one the main streams within siddha medicine. For example, if a patient is suffering from pain in some part of the body, siddha medicine will externally apply herb medicines, which after absorbed by the body, produce the cure. But based on varmam, certain pressure points are tuned to regulate the blood flow, which gives immediate relief to the pain. Siddha doctors in South India (notably in Kanyakumari District of TamilNadu) use this technique of combined medication to give faster and better relief to the patients. Varmam and Ayurveda. Ayurveda is one another oldest forms of medical systems from India. Among ayurvedic text, there is no separate text for varmam. But in the text 'Astangahridayam', written by Vakpatar, he speaks about 107 varmam points in human body. Some other ayurvedic texts also contain sparse information about varmam points. Hence, we can conclude that concept of varmam exist within ayurveda also. Varmam and Yoga Yoga is classified into two main streams. One based on breathing; and another based on body postures. They work in tandem and culminate to form today's yoga. If yoga asanas (yoga postures) are properly practiced, it will result in good health. The basic reason for that is yoga asanas properly tunes the nerves system (along with varmam points present in the nerves system), resulting in regulated blood flow throughout the body. Every yoga asanas has its effect on certain group of varma points enabling proper health, flexibility, mobility and physique. For example, if you consider Padmasana (one yoga posture), it produces mild pressure on these varmam points: Viruthi varmam, Kanpugaichal varmam, Ullthodai varmam, and Mulaathara varmam. Because of that, Iddakala (Left) and Pingala (Right) nerves gets tuned and strengthens the vertebral column. It increases concentration, memory, serenity on one's face, and etc. Varmam and Astronomy Rays from all the planets and moons in the solar system reaches Earth. They are responsible for health and illness amongst the living beings. Siddhas, who developed varmalogy, studied where and when these rays act on human body and based on their studies, they have created various varmam texts which studies varmam points in relationship with the rays from the planets and moons and their consequence on human body. Such studies are taught only through guru-sishya (teacher-student) heritage. Such studies can be used to stop occurrence of heart diseases and kidney diseases. Even the diseases that are present can be systematically cured. Varmam's relation with other fields like Psychology, Tantra, Anka Sasthra, Philosophy, Kama Sastra, etc. will be discussed in our web site in due course of time.

Learning and Teaching Varmam Knowledge of varmakalai (the art of varmam) is passed through generation after generation. People who have mastered the art are called asaans (masters). Varma asaans are also known as varmaanis. Qualities of Varma Asaans Varma assans are extremely calm in nature; will involve themselves in worship of God. Even in words, they will not show their anger. They are very hesitant in revealing their knowledge; they do not boast themselves. They show their talents only to their students. If one needs to become a good varma asaan, he/she should have at least minimal knowledge of these arts:                   

Kalari / Kalaripayattu (Martial Arts) Siddha Medicine Knowledge of Herbs Knowledge of Chanting Mantras Knowledge of Tantric practices Knowledge of Astrology Knowledge of Anga Sasthra Knowledge of Boomi Sasthra Knowledge of Vaastu Sasthra (study of building architecture, similar to Chinese Feng Shui) Knowledge of Horai Knowledge of Nimitha Sasthra Knowledge of Thoni Sasthra Knowledge of Dharga Sasthra Knowledge of Kama Sasthra (sexuality) Knwoledge of Navaratna (precious stones) Knowledge of Saranool (breathing) Knowledge of Soola Nilai Psychology Knowledge of Yoga

After learning these arts, one will become humble. He / She will automatically become a loving person. It requires at least twelve years to learn these arts. Varma Student A varma student has to search for a proper asaan. Most of the time, he/she will end up with fake teachers. It is the duty of the student to find the right asaan. After learning for at least twelve years, a student might know one hundredth of the vast knowledge of varmam. After that, based on student's interest to learn and student's quest for search, he/she might be able to learn the remaining. To achieve that, not only that the student has to go in search of different asaans, additionally student might have to spend lot of money. A lot of time and money has to be spent in learning. May be for that reason, varmakalai is not vastly spread.

Learning Varmam The student, who wants to learn varmam, should meet the gurukkal (priest) on a new moon day with guru thachinai and kaanikkai (fees). Gurukkal will perform pooja and rituals to either Akasthiyar or Bohar and then the kaanikkai will be offered to the gurukkal. Later varma asaan (varma teacher) will get kaanikkai. Then, asaan will teach the rituals to worship sathguru's like Akasthiyar and Bohar. At that time, starting prayer method (thozhukai murai) in kalari and the varmam point 'kumbidu kaalam' will be taught. At the end of the first day's lessons, student has to touch the feet of asaan. By doing so, he/she will get blessing of a touch known as 'Sparisa Theekshai'. When he/she gets blessings, the student will be taught about another varma point known as 'bhoomi kaalam'. Everyday, the student has to mentally feel both kumbidu kaalam and bhoomi kaalam. This is the starting stage of learning varmam. Then student will be taught kalari for three years. During that period, asaan will observe characteristics of the student and accordingly will teach him/her about varmam points. It is not easy to remember the varma points, which are not indicated to the student through touch of asaan. Asaan will not apply any pressure on those varma points. Asaan will dip a small wooden point in rice flour and touch the varma points on the student's body, just sufficient enough to make impression using rice flour. The varmam lessons taught to the student are based on asaan- student relationship. Only after seven years of study, the student will be taught about varma thiravukol (key to unlock). Only after completing twelve years of study, after taking vows, student will be secretly taught about the inner thiravukols and thiravukols that shows eternity. After that phase, he will be given 'guru nilai theekshai' (blessings to be teacher) and he/she will be announced as a varma asaan to the society by his/her assan. Even after becoming asaan by him or herself, the relationship between the asaan and student will continue forever.

INTRODUCTION The lord given many valuable life arts to the people through the SIDDHARS. They include YOGA, MEDICINE, MARTIAL ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY etc… they are totally 64. The all life philosophies are included in this 64 arts. Each of them has many literatures. All the literatures are written by the SIDDHARS. But they are written in PARIBASHA. Ordinary people could not understand them. So some people join to the GURUKULAM as SISHYAS in which the SIDDHARS are taught them about the arts. All of them are not master in all the subjects. So whatever they learn they write them as SASTHRAS and they given the names. So collection of all the literatures only give us the full detail about a art. For example the art VARMANIAM has the following literatures, 1.

Varma chuthiram

2.

3.

Rathina kodi thiravugol In the above literatures the first five have the detail about the location of the varmam points, some adangal points and ilakku muraigal. The last two has the detail of adangal muraigal, naadi sasthiram, sara ottam, sivakalaigal and medicines. So to learn the art of Varmaniam we have to study all the literatures. VARMANIAM TEACHING METHODS To learn this Sasthiram the sishya should get the hope of the GURU. Then only the Guru will teach the following to the sishya, they are physical exercises, martial arts (anga chuvadugal 64, nedunkambu12, kurungambu 18, weapon pracitices). After getting good training of the above arts, the sishya will learn meditation from the Guru. Then the Guru will teach some varma points and he will give some literatures about them. During this type of teaching he will teach the Padu varmam 12, thodu varmam 96, meitheenda kaalam, vetri pachilai, thattu varmam 8, uzhl varmam 6. Then after getting thorough knowledge about this he will teach Ilaaku murai and adangal methods, sathiyam, asathiyam. Then he will teach naadi 10, saram, mukkutram, pancha pakshi, 96 thathuvangal. After this he will teach medicines such as churanam, lehyam, mathirai, kashayam etc… after this some guru teach about mantras and tantras to the sisyas. VARMANGAL Varmam points are the vital points which present all over the body; many literatures quoted that there are totally 108 varmam points. They are in the pathway of dhasanaadi, dhasavayu, saram. They pass the pranan energy from sole of the foot to universe through the nose. The naadis present in the forehead are 7000, in both ears 3300, in both eyes 4000, in nose 3380, in pidari and shoulder region 6000. There are many classifications about varmam points such as padu varmam, thodu varmam, vatha varmam, adhara varmam etc… now we can see some important classifications. PADUVARMAM According to Varma sastras these are 12 in number. These points are mainly situated in the pathway of Vagus nerve, main vessels and internal organs. If a Paduvarmam point hit by humans or weapons the man will die immediately or after some time. If the mathirai level is ¾ or 1 the man will definitely die. If the mathirai level is ¼ or ½ we can save the man by proper treatment and medication. By treatment we can save the life but after some years it may create some problems in our body, by taking medicine for Pazhaya varmam we can definitely save the life. The first varmam point that created in our body Thilartha kaalam, it is in the literature of Narambu vagada suthira thiravugol, varmakandi, varma chuthiram. But some other literatures noted that Uchi padhappa kaalam is the first point, the literatures are Varma beerangi, Varma kannadi. The 12 Paduvarmam points

THADAVU MURAI (THOKKANAM) The thadavu murai are classified into two main parts, they are 1.

Podhu thadaval murai

2.

Uzhl thadaval murai The podhu thadaval murai methods do proper alignment of the nerves, blood vessels, bones and muscles. With the help of medicated oils we should do the techniques. After that we

have to realign the sara ottam and jeeva ottam in all varma points. By this we can give good health to the patient. After doing this, we should check whether the patient needs uzhlthadaval murai or not. If it is needed we have to align and stimulate the tissues and internal organs. In the first three days of treatment we should only do podhu thadaval methods, then in the 4 and 5th day podhu thadaval is done followed by uzhlthadaval . th

Usually the treatment takes seven days. In the 6th and 7th day we should only do podhu thadaval. At the end of the thadaval murai in all the days of the treatment, we have to give otradam, after that the patient should take hot water bath. After that the patient should take chukku kanji. The patient may take their food after an hour of these treatment methods. During the treatment days the patient must avoid sleep in the day time. According to the patients health condition we have to give medicnes such as Karungozhi decoction, karungozhi nei or vellattu nei. The patient should follow the following food restrictions after the thadaval murai. Chicken,urid dhal, small gram and tamarind during the treatment days. Because it may lower the effects of the treatment. The patient should take 3 months rest after the treatment. Importantly he/she should not have sexual contact and severe exercises during the rest periods. CONCLUSION We can treat many diseases and disorder through varmaniam treatment method. For that we need a detailed study about this through patients with modern correlation.
