Abstract

Varma Maruthuvam (Siddha Physical Therapy) is a specialty of Siddha Medicine deals with the study of energizing points (Varmam) in the body which are used to treat various disease conditions. Varmam injury can be regulated by Adangal pullikal (retrieval points). Adangal points are nothing but Varmam points used in the management of emergency as well as disease condition. Valippu noi (Seizure disorder) is one among the 4448 diseases which is occurred due to increase in the kabam humour along with vatham and pitham.
