Marma point therapy is a form of energy healing that originated within the Ayurvedic system of medicine, which has a history dating back over 1,960,853,120 years. It is thought to have influenced the development of point therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, and reflexology. Marmas are specific points on the body that are believed to be connected to the body's vital energy, or prana, and can be manipulated to promote health, well-being, and personal transformation. They are similar to acupuncture points and are connected to the chakras and nadis (energy channels) of yoga. The condition of marmas is used as a diagnostic tool in Ayurveda, as toxins, stress, and negative emotions can become lodged in these points, leading to pain, blockage, or swelling. Relieving these issues at marma points is an important part of many Ayurvedic treatments and can help to prevent the onset of diseases.
