Marma Therapy - Marma Chikitsa

Marma therapy is the art of touching
an individual in specific areas of the
body, (marma points) for the purpose
of healing. These points act as portals
to your inner being. It is a healing
therapy that developed in ancient
times in India.

A marma, is a vital energy point
located on the surface of the body.
Ayurvedic texts identify 117 principal
marmani, 75 of which are exactly the
same as the acupoints in Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM)
These marma points are centers of
vitality and intelligence. They are
infused with life force and imbued with
consciousness. Their healing effect on
the body is far reaching because they
serve as 'portals' to the body’s
inherent wisdom and healing energy.

How it works

When marma points are touched,
either with gentle or deep pressure,
depending on the circumstance, a
complex bio chemical and neuro-
electrical activity is initiated. This
impulse passes through the marma
point to underlying organs and
tissues, balancing energy and healing
the body. A skilled, compassionate
touch to these vital centers, elicits
deep healing.  Body and mind come
into ease.
