Siddha practitioners who practiced varmam were called as varma asans. It is also said that this special therapy evolved from ancient Dravidian martial art ‘varma kalai’ (Varma kalai’ is a Tamil word meaning "art of vital points"), gradually with the inclusion of so many internal and external medicines. Poetic forms recorded by their disciples that were used for learning are available, which consists of more than fifty thousands of such poems. But the original texts (and their copies), directly written by siddhars, are not available now. Agathiyar later gave a written form that reached the masses. Lord Murugan then taught Siddhar Agathiyar.
Lord Siva taught varmam to his wife Parvathi later Parvathi taught to their son Lord Murugan. 'Varmam' is the branch of Siddha system of medicine which involves a special kind of therapy based on vital points called varma points present in the body.Īccording to tradition, the origin of this therapy is considered to be divine.
