Most of the medicines used in Kalari chikitsa are not those mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. For instance, Murivenna is used copiously in Kalari chikitsa, a medicated oil that is not mentioned in Ayurveda. Usually Murivenna is concocted using betel and murikku (Indian coral tree/Erythrina variegata) leaves, although different Kalari asans exercise their own preferences according to the texts they consult. Injuries sustained during exercises or training needs immediate treatment. The asans are adept at choosing the right treatment protocol. Their skill set includes scholarship in Marmashastra, experience in Uzhichil, dexterity in fixing dislocations of bones and so on.
