Marma chikitsa- Indian Medical Tourism - Ayurvedic treatment -indiatreats

Marma chikitsa is an ayurvedic method of treatment similar to acupuncture. Marma chikitsa is older than acupuncture   and was practiced by the rishis of the ancient India. It differs from other hands on therapies because of its spiritual content.

As per Ayurveda there are 107 major special spots in our body ranging in size from 1 inch to 6 inches in diameter which are considered as the doorways to our mind and body.  Mind is considered as the 108^th marma. There are minor marmas which are spread along the torso and the limps. These  marma points were clearly mapped centuries ago in the ayurvedic text named, ‘Sushruthi Samhitha’. As per Ayurveda there are seven chakras in our body which are considered as the vibration energy centers along the subtle body and not the physical body. They are considered to be lying along the spine in human beings. The 107 marmas are located in our body parts as detailed below.

·         37 on head and neck

How is Marma chikitsa performed?

During Murma chikitsa the points on body coming under the Marma are stimulated. This stimulation clears the blockage giving physical relaxation as well as psychological relief.  By this therapy the sensitive and the subtle energy points in the body known as srothas are opened and the strength and energy are radiated into the body. Gently pressing the Marma points have been found to stimulate a sequence of positive events.
