This document provides an overview of the Marma system in Ayurveda. It defines Marma as junction points where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones and joints meet, and are considered seats of vital energy. Marmas are classified based on location in the body, type of tissue, and prognosis after injury. Injury to Marmas can cause deformity, loss of function, or instant death. Treatment includes first aid measures and external applications to aid healing. Ancient Ayurvedic texts like the Charak Samhita and Sushruta Samhita discuss Marmas, highlighting their importance in treating traumatic injuries and neurological disorders. Mastering Marma therapy can help reduce pain and improve organ function.
