- Marma Point therapy: Marma points are more than 107 Ayurvedic acupressure points mentioned by Ayurvedic Seer Sushruta. It is an Ayurvedic therapy, where these points are treated (rubbed or pressed) to open Srota (channel) blockages and heal structural, functional and emotional aspects by moving the Prana (circulation force) in the body. It uses a gentle finger pressure. Various Aromatherapy products, herbal oils and creams can be used to do therapy on Marma points. As well as crystal and polarity therapy is also applied through Marma points to balance the body. These points are also used in Ayurvedic Facials. There are over 100 Marma points on the body. Many of them coincide with the acupuncture points.
