With its highly efficient treatments like Yoga, Mud therapy, Ahara Chikitsa, and other therapies, Ayurveda stands out as a very effective alternative medical system. Another exceptional and active Ayurvedic therapy that has great value for both daily living and spiritual practise as well as health and disease is the science of Marma. Literally, the word "Marma" refers to delicate body portions or regions. It is a precise art to touch someone precisely in the appropriate place at just the right time in order to bring about healing and perfect results for a variety of ailments that are impeding a person's ability to live a healthy life. Pressing Marma points releases energy blockages, eliminates excess Ama, promotes easy energy flow, nourishes the tissues, and secretes endorphins and cortisol-like hormones, which in turn trigger a calm shut-off response and enhance blood circulation. All these activities lead to improved performance in that specific area.
