Why does the Puruva Varmam (energy point) induce sleep?
In Vethasatthi Maruthuvam (medicine), the treatment involving the vethi points (energy points) holds great significance. These vethi points are known in different terms such as varmam (marma), kaalam, surukki, etc.
When vethi points are properly stimulated through specific techniques (Kaibagam Seibagam), it helps in relieving various physical and mental ailments.
Such treatment methods have been recorded in written form by our ancestors. Alongside Gurukula training, proper textual training is also essential for treatment. A system of medicine without the support of classical texts cannot sustain in the future. If Vethasatthi Maruthuvam (medicine) is still thriving today, the textual evidences are the primary reason behind its continued existence.
Touching and activating the Puruva Varmam (energy point located in the supraorbital notch) in the correct manner is believed to strengthen vision. However, no existing published varmam literature clearly provides a reference supporting this claim.
So, where did we obtain the evidence for this? It has been derived from several rare ancient unpublished texts. Before the year 2003, when no one spoke of this therapy, we revealed and published authentic scriptural proofs.
The scriptures says that:
“கண்புருவம் நடுவே உள்ளில்
தலையோட்டில் குழிவிடத்தில்
சக்ஷு என்னும் சத்திநாளம்“
“Between the eyebrows, inside the skull on the foramen, lies the Sakshu energy channel (Shakti Naalam)”
As the text indicates, this Shakti Naalam (energy channel) is what gives power to the field of vision.
To induce sleep, however, a different method of activation must be used at the same Puruva Varmam.
One text mention that both the Ida and Pingala Nadis meet at the Puruva Varmam. Another text explains that slightly separating the Ida and Pingala Nadis induces sleep. Based on such textual references, the Vethasatthi method of treatment is practiced. This is the reason why people have been seeking this therapy continuously from 1990 to 2025, for over 35 years.
It can be confidently stated that, Vethasatthi Maruthuvam (medicine), when practiced based on textual evidences along with Gurukula training, causes no side effects or adverse reactions.
