Abstract

Ayurvedic wisdom regards the concept of Marma as a unique and significant facet. The person who methodically located the body's 107 "Marma," or weak spots, is Acharya Sushruta, who is well-known for his contributions to surgical research. But Acharya Charak is the one who studied the clinical importance of Marma within the Trimarma system, focusing on Vasti, Hridaya, and Shir in particular. This article is dedicated to exploring the profound significance of the heart, or Hridaya, as a Trimarma. Even with the advancement of medical technology, exams conducted today frequently ignore the holistic view of health, instead concentrating on neurological, cardiovascular, and excretory processes. Vasti, Hridaya, and Shir are highlighted by Charak as the three essential organs, highlighting their critical role in maintaining life. With an emphasis on Hridaya in particular, this review article attempts to clarify the basic idea of Trimarma by a thorough analysis of Ayurvedic scriptures. One can gain a greater grasp of the holistic approach to health by going back to ancient wisdom and fusing it with contemporary medical knowledge. This research not only adds to our understanding of Ayurveda but also provides information that may improve modern medical procedures.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Trimarmiya concept, Marma points, Acharya Sushruta, Hridaya (heart), Holistic health.
