IMPORTANCE OF MARMA THERAPY IN AYURVEDA

Marma Therapy in Ayurveda is one of the most effective and ancient healing techniques that focuses on stimulating the vital energy points called Marmas. These points are where body tissues like muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints meet. According to Ayurveda, these points are connected to both physical and mental energy. When Marma points are activated through gentle pressure or massage, they balance the flow of Prana (life force), leading to deep healing, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

What is Marma Therapy?

There are 107 Marma points in the human body, located mainly on the head, chest, abdomen, back, and limbs. These points serve as bridges between the physical and energetic bodies. If any Marma point gets injured or blocked, it can cause imbalances in health, emotions, or organ function. Marma Therapy restores the natural energy flow, improves organ function, and revitalizes the mind and body.
