ABSTRACT

There are 107 Marmas, which are the body's important places. The Marmas, or weak spots of the body where Prana lives, according to Ayurveda. Any injury to these areas has the potential to significantly reduce energy for the body as a whole or for a particular organ/system, which is a primary cause of mortality. Krikatika Marma is one of the Greevagat Marma, or Sandhi Marma. There are two Krikatika Marma, each of which is about one centimeter (half Angula) long. Due to the Chalmurdhata (loss of head stability) that comes from injury to it, this is classified as a Vaikalykara (deformity). As a result, Krikatika Marma is among the most crucial Marmas. Here's an attempt to explain the concept of Krikatika Marma. In this article, we will examine Krikatika Marma in the context of contemporary anatomy and compare it to key components located nearby. The vulnerability and anatomical-clinical significance of Krikatika Marma will be established, once more demonstrating the applicability of Sushruta's old idea of Marma in the present. Keywords: Marma, Krikatika Marma, Atlanto occipital joint, Ligaments, and membranes of Atlanto occipital joints, vertebral arteries, and veins
