ABOUT THE BOOK

Varmam: An Insight Into the Ancient System of Healing is a landmark two-volume set that documents the proceedings of a major international symposium on Varmam Vidya (the science of vital points). This collection is considered one of the most authoritative academic and practical records of this ancient Tamil healing and martial art, which is a core component of the Siddha system of medicine.

Volume 1: Philosophy, History, and Science

The first volume establishes the "Why" and "How" of the system:

Origins: Tracing the lineage back to Siddhar Agastya and the ancient Tamil Sangam period.

Anatomy of Prana: A detailed study of the Nadis (energy channels) and how they intersect at Varmam points.

Classification: It breaks down the 108 points into:

• Padu Varmam (12): Major points that can cause immediate unconsciousness or death if struck.

Volume 2: Clinical Applications and Therapy

The second volume is a practical manual for the "Modern Physician":

Trauma Management: How to use Varmam to revive patients from fits, fainting, or respiratory failure.

Chronic Illness: Case studies on treating Cerebral Palsy, Hemiplegia (Paralysis), and Spondylosis using Varmam stimulation.

Sports Medicine: Techniques for instant pain relief and nerve rejuvenation used in ancient martial arts like Kalaripayattu and Silambam.

Retrieval (Meettu): Crucial "revival" techniques to undo the negative effects of an accidental blow to a Varmam point.
