Caption: Dr. Rajamony Varma, treating his patient using the 'varma' therapy, at Besant Nagar in Chennai, on March 17, 2004. The 'varma' kalai, is an advanced form of 'kalaripayattu', the ancient martial art form, which cures ailments through applying pressure on the nerve centres called the 'varmam' points. It originated during the reign of the Pandyas but was actively promoted by the Cholas. It takes several years to specialise in this varma chikitsa, as it is traditionally called, since the ancient method of gurukulam teaching is followed. It is possible to cure a person suffering from epilepsy, migraine and even cerebral palsy. Photo: N. Balaji
