Varma medical practice is considered to be the fundamental practice of the two ancient medical practices ie, the Indian system of medicine and the Chinese system of medicine. According to old varma literatures and messages aquired from the varma Asans it is said that Lord Shiva is the father of Varma. And it is from him the knowledge of varma is given to Parvathi and from her to Nandhi and from Nandhi to Lord Muruga. In Dhakshinamoorthy Kavium in its stansa number 778,779,780 it is said that Lord muruga taught varmam to Agasthiar who is considered to be the prime Siddhar of the siddha system of medicine. The area of his schooling was said to be veli – malai which is a part of Pothigai in Western Ghats. The Muruga temple in that area is an evidence for that.

When we talk of its age, it is as old as the Tamil language, which is as old as that of the stone – age. It can also be called as Tamil Traditional medicine. Tamilians used varmam as a martial art as well as a medical system. Before the introduction of the herbal medicine, it is the Varma practice used as a remedy using the fingers for the ailments of the human beings. So it is very clear to calculate that this is of the oldest system on the basis of its age too.

In a human body, in certain places in a particular time or in all time; with a specific force if an injury occurs, problems such as disability, disease or even death will be resulted. This process is called as Varmam.

Using these specific points of the human body, we can rescue people from diseases, unconciousness and strengthen them. This curing technique is known as Varma treatment.

‘Ullapadi nootrettu thalam chavahum
Unarvaki aththalankal uyirumahum
Kallamutta aththalankal piniyumahum
Kalankamattal aththalankal suhamekanum

Ullunarvai aththalankal vasiyetra
Uttathinal aththalankal uruthi cherum
Pulladipol aththalankal kandavarhal
Puhalarhal ellorum puviyilullorke”.

(Varma Odivu murivu Chara Soothiram – 1200)

According to many of the varma literatures there are 108 varma places in a human body. These varma places are the root cause for a human to be alive, to die, to fall ill or to be healed.

Nammavarhal chirakka uyven nannalentrar”.
