Marma Chikitsa

Ayurveda Marma therapy is for balancing the prana energy & removing the blockage of energy in your body. Marma therapy is an ancient Indian practice which focuses on the manipulation of subtle energy (prana) in the body for the purposes of supporting the healing process. Marma therapy is based on the utilization of vital points in the body which are considered to be access points to body, mind, and consciousness.

This gentle treatment creates an opportunity to experience powerful and dynamic transformation at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level by building a positive link with the unconscious mind. Many times, people are not able to go outside their ‘comfort zone’.  They think they have absolute limitations.  After Marma is done, they can start taking positive risks.

2. Asthi Marma  (Bones) 8Points
3. Snayu Marma (Tendons &ligamants)27Points
4. Sandhi Marma(Joints)20Points
5. Shira Marma(Nerves,Veins&Arteries)41Points

ROLE OF MARMA :

1. It remove  blocks in energy channels called shrotas.
2. It pacifies vata dosha, (air and space elements ), bringing it to its normal path— especially vyana vata, (a sub-dosha which controls the autonomic nervous system.)
3. It creates physical, mental and emotional flexibility.  Because of ama (toxins) and because of vata, human beings after 35 or 40 years of age become rigid — and this happens to animals and plants as well.  As vata increases in   body, it leads to degeneration.  This rigidity  means becoming fixed in ideas, emotions and physical movements.
