Marma Therapy

Marma is the important pressure points on the body, much like the acupuncture points. One hundred and seven sensitive anatomical points are on the body. The marma point is defined as anatomical site where muscle, vein, ligament, bone and joints meet together. This does not mean that all the structures must be present collectively at the site of marma. The most important difference between acupuncture points and marma is the size and they are not related to meridians. Marmas are connected to the chakras and are used for balancing both body and mind. Marma point is treated by massage and pressure.
