The spot of prana, Marma is considered to be the area of force or Shakthi in our body. Our body has different areas which are the residing places for the prana or the vital energy and we call these secret spots as Marma Points. If these vital energy spots are disturbed it marks the occurrence of diseases where we face symptoms like pain, oedema in this particular site spreading to the other parts. So, if an apt pressure with a good stimulation is given to these spots, an immediate relief is observed. Thus, Marma therapy involves an effort towards restoring the balance of the tissues (dhatus) and ensuring accurate and improved flow of the energy. The marma treatment is practiced in different ways by different physicians.

The healing through the energy spots play an exciting and fruitful role in the mind relaxation as the stimulation on the marma points allow to regulate and normalise the cortisol level in the body and the oxytocin factor gets energised. This in turn is the classic solution to the anxiety, stress related and psychological problems that are accumulated in our daily life.
