Marmas are vital points that, when afflicted, will cause severe pain and debility. The 107 marmas mentioned in Ayurveda have been detailed as a separate chapter in both Ashtanga Hrudaya1 and Susruta Samhita. 2 Acharya Charaka has abridged them to three. 3 In the current scenario, RSI and poor ergonomics are the main reasons that lead to the injury of marma. In this short communication the therapies carried out at several marma sites in accordance with published literature are highlighted.
