Dhamani-Marma

Marma Vigyan is one of the specialties of Ayurveda. The development of standards of treatment for the acutely injured

has been closely related to several significant medical discoveries. Organized care of the acutely injured, though comparatively

recent innovations has significately improved survival rates. It aligns closely with concept of marma, which emphasizes the

critical importance of vital points in the body. The anatomy of Shushrut is near to present anatomy. In Sharirsthana, acharya

Shushrut have asserted all the anatomical structures precisely with their functions. The “Marmasharir” is the basic

fundamental theory of Ayurveda, well described in Sharir sthana six. Acharya Vagbhatt has described Marma in Ashtang

Hridaya sharir sthan four “Marma vibhag sharir”. Marma are the significant anatomical points of the body where any cut,

concussion, blow or injury can lead to death or deformity.
