Kalari Ayurvedic Treatments
Kalari Chikilsa
Kalari Chikilsa (pronounced Chik-ilsa) is a unique system of healing that comes from a combination of Ayurveda and Siddhaveda medicine systems using traditional medicines, ancient philosophies and diverse massage techniques to bring about health and healing. It originates from the warriors of South India and their heightened awareness of the vital energy points ‘marmas’ and energy channels. There are various treatments in the Kalari Chikilsa system that can be combined into a holistic plan.
Traditional Indian medicine teaches that the human body is not only composed merely of physical matter. It also contains a subtle energy known as Prana. Within the physical body, fluids travel through the circulatory system and nerve impulses through the nervous system. And within the subtle body, Prana travels through the Nadi channels and Chakras centers.
Kalari Chikilsa treatments target the unblocking of these channels and energy centres so that our Prana can move freely and reach all part of the body to allow for optimised function of all organs and a more balanced state of mind.
