Based on Susruta Samhita, a very ancient ayurvedic text, marma therapy is a technique of treatment of the vital points of the body, which are mainly the junction points of blood vessels, ligaments and nerve centers.

The marmani, using varying degrees of force to strike the body at different vital points, can produce astounding results. The results vary according to the power and velocity used by the healer. It results in the stimulation of impulse, the magnetic power and the innate human dynamism, and helps in recovery from injury and in the treatment of a disease.

Ayurveda states that everything is constituted of the pancha mahabhutas or the five elements—ether, wind, fire, water and earth. A living being has an additional element: prana. This energy gives life and animation to the living organism..Prana circulates through the body, through food, drink and breathing; then it moves through energy channels, where it meets with blocks. Marma therapy and massage remove these blocks and aid the circulation of vital energy in the body
