Abstract

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON MARMA SHARIRA

Vd. Madhavi Prabhakar Nagrare*

ABSTRACT

Marma Sthana are considered as the site of the Prana which are spread all over the body (head, neck, extremities and trunk). These areas are formed at the junction of five important structures i.e. Mamsa (muscle), Sira (vessels), Snayu (ligaments, tendon), Asthi (bones) and Sandhi (joints). According to the Acharya Sushruta, Marma Sthanas are the points where Vatta, Pitta, Kapha, Sattva, Rajas, Tama are present along with Chetana Dhatu and Atma. When any trauma occurs to such points then it results in pain and imbalance in Doshas which can be fatal for the life. Therefore such points are considered as crucial during the surgical procedures. Marma Chikitsa is a method of treatment prescribed by great Ayurvedic Acharyas. According to this Chikitsa, application of slight pressure on specific points on body induces the flow of Prana (vital energy) into the inner body which stimulates the flow of positive energy in the body and also provides nourishment to the organs associated with that Marma Sthana. Marma Sthanas are mentioned in detail in the Rigveda, Atharva Veda, Shushruta Samhita etc. Ayurvedic Acharyas have given prime importance to the Marmasharira in the Shalya Chikitsa.
