Ayurvedic Marma Massage (Marma Chikitsa) @ Melbourne

Marma Chikitsa is a powerful healing therapy in Ayurveda that focuses on stimulating vital energy points (Marma points) in the body. These points are junctions where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints meet, and are deeply connected to Prana (life force energy).

What are Marma Points?

• There are 107 Marma points described in classical Ayurvedic texts
• These are similar to acupressure or acupuncture points, but unique to Ayurveda
• Each point is connected to specific organs, tissues, and emotional states
• Injury to these points can cause dysfunction, while proper stimulation promotes healing
