current concepts, and attempting to verify its significance in Marma Chikitsa.Trimarmiya
Adhyaya is the special attribute of Marma Chikitsa. To a greater or lesser extent, they
represent the urgent aspect of Ayurvedic treatment. Shira, Hridaya and Basti (Trimarma) are
the basic authorities representing three different systems of the body. Nervous system,
