Our body is a silent electro-biochemical laboratory. Touching a Marma point can change the biochemistry and can unfold alchemical change in one’s bodily makeup, by signalling the body to produce exactly what it needs- hormones, neurochemicals- that facilitate physical, emotional and energetic healing at the deepest levels.

Some treatments in modern Medicine like Urgent PC are based on nerve stimulation using low intensity electrical impulses, delivered through a needle.

Marma Therapy is 100% natural, non-invasive technique, also based on stimulating nerves/bodily currents/neuroelectrical impulses through their superficial connection points, by using pressure or different stimulation techniques.

Marma Therapy is different and profound than acupressure, reflexology or trigger-point massage as it facilitates physical as well as mental healing and offers a virtually unlimited therapeutic applications and benefits as mentioned below.

How Marma Therapy works?

Our body produces many helpful chemicals- endorphins, enzymes, hormones. Prana (Life force) is the energy current that infuses every cell.

A Marma is a vital energy point located on the surface of the body, which taps into this reservoir of energy. These are located at anatomical sites where nerves, veins, arteries, tendons, bones or joints meet or intersect. Upon stimulation, they activate doors to body’s own pharmacy, as they trigger electro-chemical responses, which aid in healing a range of ailments.

Marmas relate to specific organs, structures or functions and are used both diagnostically and therapeutically. Therapy allows great flexibility in treating various conditions by selecting Marma points and stimulation techniques specific to that condition.

The Ayurvedic text describes 117 Marma points (Marmani) located on a human body, each with own energetics, delivering a specific healing response upon stimulation. Upon knowing the condition to be treated, the Practitioner will identify which Marma points will be involved as part of the treatment.

Marma therapy can be applied as whole body or part body therapy, depending upon the condition treated. In some cases, more than one Marma therapy session may be required.
