VARMA
Varmam therapy is the therapeutic manipulation of Varmam points in which the pranic energy remains concentrated. Manipulation over these points with a particular force for the specified time will release the pranic energy from these points and bring relief to the affected individual by regulating the flow of pranic energy which is obstructed due to assault on specific points (Varmam points) or due to other causes.

• Padu Varmam-12
