Description

According to Ayurveda, Marma are the joining point where muscle (Mamsa), vein (Sira), ligament (Snayu), bone (Asthi) and joint (Sandhi) meet. These are special points in the human body and any injury to these Marma may lead to disease, disability and if not properly treated, even fatal conditions. Instant pain relief is the motive of Marma therapy. Stimulation of Marma can produce analgesia by secreting a number of prostaglandin inhibitors, endorphins, interferon and other opioid-like substances which are a hundred times more potent than opium. Instant pain relief with Marma therapy is possible within no time. Traditional Marma therapy is done with several techniques like Rubbing the Marma, applying pressure, oil massage, herbal paste application and fomentation. It differs according to the diseased condition.
