Abstract

Background: Varmam maruthuvam specifically deals with the regulation of energy flow within the body by provocation of certain points. Padu Varmam points are 12 in number. They are claimed to be interacting points between internal organs and the central nervous system. Hence Padu Varmam is considered as “Life Energy Centers”. The exact location, literature review and Anatomical Locations of these Varmam are yet to be documented. Objective: To identify the various literature evidence for the ner varmam (one of the padu varmam) andappropriate anatomical location of this Padu Varmam points and to document the above data. Methodology: Classical Siddha Literature like Varma Soothirangal by R.C. Mohan; Varma Vignanam by Dr. Michel etc.; and anatomy texts like Cunnigham’s book of practical anatomy, Netler’s Anatomy, etc.; were reviewed and the collected data was compared and documented. Results: The correct anatomical locations of the Padu Varmam points were more or less derived. The above data can be used for correct handling of Padu Varmam. This may be stepping stone for standardization of Padu Varmam.
