Marma Massage

Marma Massage is a component of ayurveda that aids in the maintenance of health by clearing blocked energy.
Marma comes from the Sanskrit word 'Mrin Maranae.' As a result, these locations are referred to as marma.
Marma also means "hidden" or "secret" in Sanskrit. A Marma point is a body junction where two or more types of tissue,
such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, or joints, connect.

What is Ayurvedic Marma Massage?

Ayurvedic Marma Massage involves gentle stimulation of specific points on the body known as marma points. This technique clears blockages from these points, promoting physical and mental relaxation and enhancing overall strength. Marma massage utilizes these sensitive energy points to open the body's energy channels, a process known as srothas therapy.

When these marma points are lightly touched, it can trigger a series of beneficial effects, leading to improved well-being.

What Are The Major Marma Points?

The seven chakras, or energy centres of the body, correlate to major marma points, while minor points radiate out along the torso and limbs. The diameter of these points varies from one to six inches. The principles were detailed in the 'Sushruta Samhita ', a famous Ayurvedic literature, centuries ago. Touching a marma point alters the biochemistry of the body and can result in a drastic, alchemical transformation in one's constitution. The body is signalled to manufacture exactly what it needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that repair the body, mind, and awareness, when these inner pharmacy pathways are stimulated. Marma therapy's profound dimension has the capacity to bring about spiritual healing.
