Kalari Marma Chikitsa, Benefits

Your body is ready to withstand daily postural stress thanks to the preventive mechanisms provided by Samsara Ayurvedic kalari massage. By using a Kalari massage to improve blood circulation, you can stay youthful and vibrant.


In Kalari Marma Chikitsa, the 107 essential places on the human body are the major emphasis. The body's vital spots, or marmas, are said to be the repository of life force. In Kerala, marma chikitsa has a long history. "Vital spots" is what marma means, and "treatment" is what chikitsa means. This technique developed because of the need to cure warriors' bodily wounds from battle or training. Marma chikitsa is administered by a specialist who is well-versed in the body's key areas. In addition, marma therapy works wonders for fractures, burses, and wounds.


The foundation of Kalaripayattu has been the basis for the development of Kalari massage. You can improve your musculoskeletal coordination and repair muscle and ligament misalignment by using therapeutic marma stimulation treatments. This massage facilitates the flow of vital energy, enhances blood and lymphatic circulation, and promotes a lighter, more immune system.


Practitioners of the martial art known as Kalari created the specialized treatment known as Kalari Marma Massage. Guarding the Marma points and the energy that passes through them is its main goal. This massage can be beneficial to people who exercise more vigorously since it can improve the body's strength and flexibility.


In addition to balancing the energy flow between the Marma points, this massage helps shield the body from damage. Because of this, people who play sports can benefit especially from this Marma massage.


The discovery of Marmam is the same place of genesis for both Ayurvedic and Kalari massage. The primary distinction between the two is that in the practice of Kalari massage, the therapist may massage the client's body with both hands and their feet.


When performing a kalari massage, which uses the feet rather than the hands, the kalaripayattu master uses ropes suspended from the ceiling to support their body weight while applying the proper amount of pressure to the patient's vital areas with their feet in a fluid and flowing motion known as utsadana. Samvahana is the technique of applying kalari massage using the hands. The patient's level of physical fitness, body type, and any acute or chronic injuries they may be dealing with will all influence the pressure the master applies to them.


A full body massage known as a "kalari massage" uses an Ayurvedic, medicated herbal oil to activate the body's Marmma (energy) points. This oil promotes the restoration of cells, tissues, and organs to their normal functioning, in addition to the circulation of blood, lymph, and energy. It is also renowned for eliminating the harmful waste products that normally arise after exercise or following an accident. Many conditions are relieved by Kalari Massage, including soft tissue injuries, joint dislocations, muscular stiffness, and back discomfort, to mention a few. It is well recognized to activate all of the body's major systems and organs, including the central nervous system, which controls every other system (endocrine, musculoskeletal, circulatory, immune, etc.). Different conditions call for different massage techniques, which the master chooses after considering the patient's health and constitution.


The patient's age, level of physical stamina and endurance, and specific health concern will determine the force, speed, and quantity of movements used, as well as the kind of herbal oil. The Master may employ oils created especially for these circumstances, which he will mix himself, frequently from locally grown medicinal plants, employing the wisdom that has been passed down from teacher to student over many generations. The massage oil used for kalari massage is the same as that used by the practitioner of Kalaripayattu, which is applied to the body just before training, provided the client is not suffering from any particular diseases.Applying the specially formulated Ayurvedic herbal medicinal oil helps improve a patient's mental clarity, physical stamina, general health, and muscle flexibility based on their unique body composition, accessibility of nerve points, and overall health. 




Similar to an Ayurvedic massage, a kalari massage improves body flexibility and decreases the composition of body fat in a more efficient manner. The body's veins and arteries become more elastic and highly functional. They are in charge of carrying nutrients and healing agents as well as eliminating waste from the body. The kidneys, lungs, liver, and small and large intestines—the organs primarily in charge of eliminating toxic waste from the body—are fortified and function more effectively. As a result, the skin will glow with health and these body systems and organs will operate at their best.


All of this is made possible by the kalari massage techniques' activation of nerves and nerve points, or marman, which returns the client to their own ideal, harmonious balance. It will basically strengthen the immune system and central nervous system, which will improve the body's natural healing capacities. Under the deft guidance of Sivakumar Gurukkal, this age-old Kalari (and Ayurvedic) massage system is still flawlessly performed in CVNkollam. It has been passed down from master to pupil for many generations.
