MARMANI (plural of marma) in Indian medicine are considered to be the pathways to an inner pharmacy. They are delicate spots on the surface of the skin, connecting to these pathways within and which spread throughout the body via the 7 fundamental elements of the body known as dhatus. They each have an necessary function for the well being of the system. These are nutrition via plasma; oxygen via the blood; building via muscle tissue; insulating via the adipose tissue; support via bone and cartilage, communication via marrow and nerve tissue; and procreation via the reproductive tissue.
Like acupuncture, marma therapy utilises these internal pathways to detect and bring the body back to a healthy equilibrium. Instead of needles though, finger pressure is placed at these points.
These energetic points have a variety of functions that affect the mind, body and spirit. They facilitate cellular communication, serve as a diagnostic indicators through sensitivity to touch, pain relief and detoxification. They can also serve to augment awareness, as well as cleanse, pacify, calm and rejuvenate the mind and emotions.
