Abstract

In the vast sea of the ayurveda, Marma is one of the extremely important topics. Marma points have been unanimously accepted as the ‘Seats of life’. If these locations are injured, then it may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation or death. Therefore, the ancient scriptures have strictly directed that these vital locations should not be injured, and due care should be taken in this regard even while during surgeries. Vitap is adhoshakhagat Marma. To extend the knowledge of Vitap Marma in clinical fields, it is necessary to know the actual structures present at that site. Thus, the topic is selected to study the proper location with modern anatomy of this Marma.

Keywords: Marma, Shakhagat marma, Vitap marma.
