Kalari Marma Chikitsa is dated centuries old and was emerged to treat the warriors and soldiers preparing them to fight and defend in the wars and also to cure their wounds and injuries. ‘Kalari or Kalaripayattu’ is the martial art form of Kerala. ‘Marma’ means vital spots and ‘Chikitsa’ means treatment. There are 108 Marma points in the body and the Kalari Marma Chikitsa is carried out by specialists who are well learned about these vital spots to heal the body. Here the massage therapist uses his hand and feet to perform the massage applying appropriate pressure on the marma points.
