Marma Point Therapy

What is Marma Point Therapy?

You might be asking, “what is Marma Point Therapy (think India’s version of acupressure)?” Many people don’t realize that the majority of Chinese medicine has its roots in Ayurvedic Medicine, the ancient medical system of India.

While “ancient” and “medical” might be terms we might not take seriously when together, what it’s pointing to is a time tested system that is not only adaptable to specific needs but is also evolutionary. In our rapidly changing times, we need to have something that can support us in many ways. We need results, cost effectiveness and things that will meet us at the level of our specific needs.

What are Marma Points (marmani)?

The word “marma” means mortal or vulnerable point, pointing to its access to areas that could be tender, weak or sensitive. Thus, they keep us in touch with the parts of ourselves that require awareness so that we can know what is happening on the many levels of our being.

Ayurveda says that when marmani is stimulated they can change your neurochemistry and at the cellular level they govern cell biology, and involve fire and water, the two basic powers of creation. What’s more, these vital points are integral components of the nervous system and are sensitive to touch, light, pressure, hot/cold, sound, herbal pastes and aromatherapy.
