Ayurveda & Importance of Marma Points
Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Ayurveda has eight branches of Medicine .One of the worlds first surgeons comes from an Ayurveda Physician known as Sushruta who has written a book called Sushruta Samhita which is the oldest book of Surgery dates back around 1500 bce.
But there is Another ancient form of medicine called Siddha medicine which is written in Tamil . Both Ayurveda & Siddha Medicine are popular medicines in india.
The concepts of universal interconnectedness, the body's constitution (prakriti), and life forces (doshas) are the primary basis of ayurvedic medicine. Goals of treatment aid the person by eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing resistance to disease, reducing worry, and increasing harmony in life. Herbs and other plants, including oils and common spices, are used extensively in Ayurvedic treatment.
In India, Ayurveda is considered a form of medical care, equal to conventional Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, and homoeopathic medicine. Practitioners of Ayurveda in India undergo state-recognized, institutionalized training.
Marmas are also called Varmas in Tamil Siddha medicine in south India . Other Indian martial arts like vajramushti (iron fist), malyutham (Indian wrestling) were practised in ancient times. During one instance, Duryodhana in Mahabharata was killed by Bheema through the attack on specific marma points in his groins and thighs. In Ramayana, Ravana was killed by Rama by an arrow shot in his naval.
Major marma points correspond to the seven chakras, or energy centres of the body, while minor points radiate out along the torso and limbs. These points range in size from one to six inches in diameter. The points were mapped out in detail centuries ago in the ‘ Sushruta Samhita ’, a classic Ayurvedic text.Marma points, when gently pressed on the skin can stimulate a chain of positive events.
