Marma points: ayurveda's ancient secret

One of the biggest contributions to the world is Ayurveda’s Marma Points.  Ayurveda is a system of health that has been around for more than three thousand years.  It is the mother of all medical systems.  Acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, siddha medicine, modern medicine, all have their roots in Ayurveda.


What are marma points?​

  • There are 107 marma points in the body.  They range in size from 1 to 6 inches in diameter.
  • A marma point is a juncture in the body where two or more types of tissues meet, such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, or joints.
  • They are pranic centers where subtle energy channels (nadis) meet.
  • They are the collection of secret vital points of the body and mind, the seat for consciousness and energy reservoir.​

Toxins, stress, and negative emotions get blocked in the marma points for years, leading to pain, energy blockages, swelling, and the manifestation of various diseases.  Blocked mamas in Ayurveda are healed through applying pressure, massage oils, gentle heat, internal and external use of herbs, and meditation.  You can get a full marma therapy, which energizes all 107 marma points or you can work on specific points for a desired result.

The  5 most important marmas and their functions
