The verma therapy would complement treatment for orthopaedic and rehabilitative patients.
KUALA LUMPUR: India is to send a siddha (traditional Indian medicine) doctor to head a pilot study on verma therapy at the Sungai Buloh Hospital next year.
According to an Indian High Commission statement, the therapy would act as complementary treatment for orthopaedic and rehabilitative patients.
It said the decision on the pilot study was reached at a meeting on cooperation on traditional medicine in Kuala Lumpur last Tuesday.
The Centre for Varma Medicine and Research, in its website, said the therapy was an ancient body-points treatment in Tamil traditional medicine.
The statement said the Indian government had also agreed to the continued attachment of an ayurvedic practitioner (concerned with holistic “whole-body” healing system) and two therapists to the Port Dickson Hospital and Cheras Rehabilitation Centre.
It also said that eight Malaysians had succeeded in their applications to study traditional medicide in Indian colleges under the Ayush Scholarship Scheme 2016-2017.
