During the ancient times, Kalari Marma chikitsa (Marma Healing) was known as the backbone of Kalaris . The Masters used to transfer the secrets of Kalari-Marma only after the completion of Kalaripayattu. To acquire the knowledge of kalari-Marma, mental ability and physical strength were to be very high and also a long term continues effort is required, because of these reasons now a days the Masters who practice Kalarimarma are very less. The kalari master has an extreme knowledge about psycho-physiological aspects and practical knowledge of the body's vital spots 'Marma'. This gives him extraordinary control over his body and thus the control of the vital energy. After completely observing a patient the Kalari Masters decide the treatment by checking their nerves, and the medicines differ from patient to patient.
