Traditional Healing from the Kalari

Kalari Chikitsa is a traditional therapeutic system historically developed within Kerala’s Kalari tradition. Kalari masters developed specialized knowledge of the human body to help practitioners recover from physical strain and injuries associated with martial training. Over generations, these techniques evolved into a broader traditional approach to physical wellness. At Dhanurveda, Kalari Chikitsa is particularly associated with traditional approaches to muscular, joint and skeletal discomfort and physical conditioning. It can be especially relevant for practitioners of Kalarippayattu, yoga, dance and other physically demanding disciplines.
