Overview

Ayurvedic texts reveal that a human body has 107 energy points, similar to Chinese acupuncture points that release toxins and relieve tension. These points are basically the key points where bones, tendons, veins, arteries and flesh join together. According to Vedic texts, marma points are a vital part of the human anatomy. These points correspond to internal organs and body systems and their manipulation helps to promote physical and mental wellness. This marma points massage has been used for centuries to relieve tension, stress and muscular aches, reduce nervousness and anxiety, and restore energy. It is also said to help reduce tingling in the fingers and toes, as well as clearing numbness or metallic taste in the mouth. The tradition of massaging marma points in Ayurveda began around 1500 B.C in Kerala. The masters of ancient martial art found marma points as vital targets to attack. These identified points become a point of study and experimentation by the physicians who started massaging marma points to restore flow of energy. Today, this massage is one of the most popular and favoured one cross spas.
