Abstract

Ayurveda is a living science that believes in treating the mind, body, and spirit to achieve total health, and this ancient wisdom is mirrored in the unique idea and composition of Marma Sharir. Marma is not just anatomical markers, but also locations where the Tridosha, in its subtle forms Prana, Ojusa (soma), and Tejas, may be found (Agni). They also have three Gunas: Sattva, Raja, and Tamas (Manas contents) as well as the soul or life force (Bhutatma). Sushruta Samhita and Siddha, respectively, include detailed descriptions of Marma and Marma Chikitsa. The Prana (vital energy) present in Marmas may be directed to eliminate blockages (even in distant locations) and promote energy flow, resulting in a state of healthy body, mind, and spirit, through various ways of Marma stimulation.
