Marma Therapy

Marma Therapy, a traditional Ayurvedic healing technique, is designed to work with the body’s vital energy centers—called Marma points. These points are areas where the physical, emotional, and spiritual energies converge. Marma Therapy involves the application of pressure, massage, or energy work on these points to restore balance, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being.

Marma Therapy can be highly beneficial for managing and sometimes curing certain diseases and conditions. Below are some common diseases and health conditions that can be curable or manageable through Marma Therapy:

It can improve mobility and promote the regeneration of cartilage.
• Back Pain: Marma points along the spine and lower back help in relieving chronic back pain, sciatica, and lumbar problems. It promotes circulation and reduces tension in the muscles.
