Marmas are ancient vital points on body & are integral to all Ayurvedic therapies from simple self-treatments to complex clinical conditions. They form one of the main pillars of Ayurvedic thought and practises.
Marma massage technique can be used to detoxify, strengthen and revitalize the body. It will rejuvenate and give relaxation and release blocked energy.
This regulates circulation of blood specially plasma.*
Marma therapy is also an important method of working on the deeper tissues of bone and nerve, the seats of Prana and Vata. This is because many marma points are on the head or onthe joints, both of which connect directly to Prana and Vata.
IF VATA IS DISTURBED AT ANY MARMA, there will be severe pain not only at the marma site but in the entire body. Vata symptoms like fear, anxiety, tremors, constipation, nervous indigestion, insomnia and nervous agitation will increase.
Anti-Vata therapies like the application of heat, warm oil massage, or Vata-reducing herbs like guduchi,aamlaki or shatavari will bring these symptoms down
IF PITTA GETS DISTURBED AT ANY MARMA, there will be feellings of heat, irritability and fever often extending to the entire body.Pitta symptoms like inflammation or bleeding at the marma point will combine with general Pitta symptoms like burning sensations, hyperacidity, loose stool, red eyes or intolerance to light. Anti-Pitta therapies such as the application of cold (ice), cooling oils like coconut, and cooling herbs like sandalwood or rose will bring these symptoms down.
WHEN KAPHA BECOMES INCREASED AT ANY MARMA,there will be swelling, accumulation of fluid (edema) and congestion.Overall Kapha symptoms will increase with possible feelings of heaviness, lethargy, cough, tiredness and dislike of movement.
Anti-Kapha therapies such as the application of heat, fasting, taking of hot spices like marich and shunthi, or using warming aromatic oils like eucalyptus or karpur will reduce these symptoms
