Marma Therapy, known as the mother of all healing therapies, is a 5,000-year-old system of Ayurveda.
Marma means vital energy point, a bridge between body, mind, and spirit.
Marma therapy affords clients the experience of a powerful life-altering treatment and transformation at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels through connection to the higher mind and the subconscious.
Marma points bridge the gap between the physical and energetic bodies by carrying information between the mind and the body’s tissues, organs, and systems.

Applications and Benefits of Marma Therapy (Marmachikitsa)
Marma therapy restores balance to the nervous system, burns cellular toxicity, and assists the brain in
the release of neurotransmitters that affect mood and pain. It also brings luster to the skin and an overall feeling of both rest and rejuvenation.
Physical Pain
Marma points are stimulated to reduce pain, improve circulation, de-stress the tissues, and improve
healing response: i.e., physical trauma, sports injuries, migraines, back and neck pain, scoliosis,
fractures, surgical recovery, TMJ syndrome and chronic fatigue to mention a few.
Organ Support and General Circulation
Local marmas can be stimulated to improve circulation to and from the deeper organs and tissues that cannot be easily massaged, to improve healing, increase oxygen, remove accumulated wastes (aam), and allow the organs to self-heal: i.e., marmas of the neck and throat for thyroid conditions, similarly for kidney stones, ovarian and uterine fibroids, infertility, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, constipation, hepatitis and increases the body’s immune response.
Emotional Release
The marmas are delicately accessed and stimulated to remove blocked psychosomatic pain: i.e., high levels of stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), loss and grief. This profound work restores the flow of subtle energy and awakens the body’s innate healing powers.
Spiritual Awakening
Some of the Marmani are located close to the seven major chakras. These marmas can be used to awaken and heal imbalances in the chakras for those aware or not of their spirituality regardless of one’s religious beliefs. This application helps to release reoccurring obstacles to spiritual growth. It removes mental blockages, including those in the subconscious mind.
