MARMA AND MARMA THERAPY: A TRADITIONAL VIEW Authors: Anurag Tiwari , VIJAY LAXMI GAUTAM, ASHUTOSH KUMAR PATHAK AND ABHINAV
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda is a standardised science of living being which is in existence since archaic times. In
recent year there has been lot of research in Ayurveda but still some of the concepts are left
behind just as one of them is Marma. A Marma point is the coupling place of Mamsa, Sira,
Snayu, Asthi, Sandhi. The detailed knowledge of Marma and Marma therapy has been mentioned
in Sushruta Samhita and Varman Chikitsa in Siddha medicine respectively. The present article
explored its application as a therapeutic procedure (Marma Therapy), necessity of marma
therapy and its importance. Still India has low socio economic population which cannot afford
expensive treatment for aliments like headache, backache etc so this therapy has the potential
with low cost to fulfil the need.
