Our Siddha Treatments

Siddha therapeutic treatments aim to re-establish the innate synergy of an individual and involve the branch of the traditional science that deals with traumatology and accidental injuries called Varma. Varmam are energy points located along invisible energy channels in the body. Any injury or block in the flow of vital life energy leads to diseases. There are about 72,000 naadis (energy channels) in our body through which the life energy is circulated. Varmam points are considered to be the stations where the flow of energy is boosted. Reaching locations of Varmam points, techniques of approach and degrees of manipulation play vital roles in therapy. At Nalam, we offer top-notch Siddha treatments customized to suit our patients mind-body types to re-establish the innate synergy of life factors and continuous flow of life energy using varma therapy.
