National conference on Varmololgy on May 11
COIMBATORE: A national conference on Varmology (or Varmam, which
is described as a holistic Indian medical system) will be held
at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University here on May 11. It
has been organised by Arts Research Institute, a Coimbatore-based
charitable trust. The institute defines Varmam as one of the
country’s ancient systems of medicine. The word Varmam
denotes ‘energy in the body’.
‘Life energy’
It can also be called ‘life energy’. The places
where this energy resides in the body are Varmam points.
The basic objective of the Varmam system of medicine is to stimulate
these points to cure disease.
The institute says it has been spreading the science of Varmam
in the State since 2005. Nearly 700 registered medical practitioners,
across different systems of medicine, have learnt Varmology
through ARI, it says in a release. ARI has 14 treatment centres
across India, including 10 in the State.
It has one each in Pondicherry, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and
New Delhi. There are 60 doctors across various disciplines,
who serve patients at these centres.
The institute claims that nearly 10,000 people receive Varmam
treatment each month through it. Some of the objectives of the
conference are: to highlight the areas where Varmam treatment
extended by ARI has shown positive results; to have medical
practitioners trained in Varmam share the results of their practice
with their peers; to demonstrate that this form of treatment
has the ability to effect medicine-less cures and to show that
Varmam does not have any side effect or adverse effects.
The institute also wants to show how Varmam functions effectively
in conjunction with Siddha, Ayurveda, Allopathy, Homeopathy,
Physiotherapy and Naturopathy treatment systems.
Through this conference, it also wishes to announce its intention
to expand the reach of Varmam medicine, closely bound to the
Tamil language till date, and make it accessible to all Indians.
The institute wants to encourage further research into Varmology,
so that it may take its rightful place as a universal medical
science.
It also plans to work towards achieving recognition and patent
protection for Varmology as an Indian system of medicine. Papers
on how Varmam can cure osteoarthritis, cervical and lumbar spondylosis,
cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes,
bronchial asthma and many other diseases will be presented at
the conference .
