Marma Therapy | Ayurhitam

What is Marma Chikitsa?
Marma Chikitsa is a method of healing by stimulating the body’s energy points. Marmas are also known as vulnerable spots. A key part of Marma Chikitsa is oil therapy, known as Snehana. A large amount of warm, medicated oils is applied to the entire body. There are certain areas on the body where medicated oils are applied, such as Chakras, Marma points, or specific affected areas.
Life energy is concentrated at marma points in your body. The body has 107 marma points (and the 108th is the mind), and their stimulation can bring the body mental and physical healing.
22 in the lower extremities, 22 in the arms, 12 on the chest and stomach, 14 on the back, and 37 on the head and neck.
What are the benefits of Marma Chikitsa?
Marma point therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic massage technique that helps maintain energy flow throughout the body. The seven chakras or energy centers of the body are represented by the Marma Chikitsa
- It eliminates blockages in energy channels known as srotas.
- It pacifies Vata dosha, particularly Vyana Vayu which controls the autonomic nervous system.
- Due to ama (toxins) and Vata, our body’s energy points can experience blockages which can lead to rigidity in thoughts, emotions, and even bodily movements. Marma chikitsa can generate physical, mental, and emotional flexibility and unblock these channels.
- Marma creates a chance to experience a dynamic and powerful transformation at the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual levels by creating a positive connection with the unconscious and subconscious mind.

Manju is a very good and detail oriented Ayurvedic doctor. I liked her approach in treating my ailments. The abhyanga and … More shirodhara was an awesome experience.

I recommend Ayurhitam to anyone who’s focused on long term healing through a combination of natural medicines (herbs procured … More from reliable sources), Ayurveda body work and treatments, and who’s willing to make the diet ad lifestyle changes required to achieve your health goals. Manju is highly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand root causes (such as life events and life habits as potential contributors to chronic health issues), and provides specific guidance and practical tips on tweaks to make to address your health concern(s) and achieve your health goals. I’ve taken a variety of treatments from Manju and her team over a period of more than a year, and have had a very positive experience throughout. My own knowledge of Ayurveda and general awareness on how to make “healing” a part of one’s lifestyle has improved through my sessions at Ayurhitam. For those not close to Fremont, followup consultation sessions can also be done online via video calls, though you have to go to the clinic for treatments. We need more Ayurveda practitioners like Manju in our overall healthcare system!

I am just so impressed by the care given by Manju and her team. Manju implements a very sustainable and thoughtful approach … More when it comes to kids knowing the challenges they have in school
and friends. I am so grateful to Ayurhitam. Changes as we know are not easy and implementing them are harder when it comes to adjusting diet and lifestyle. Manju offered a phased approach and happy to share it is working so well for my family member. Many thanks to Manju!

It does not usually hit hard on health until one day we realize; there should be a better way of living than visiting and … More getting labs in circles-- allopathic way. I realized taking too strong medications and way of suppressing condition is not taking me anywhere. That is when I came to know about Ayurhitam and Dr.Manju.
Dr.Manju is very different in approaching and healing. She takes care of patients by actively listening to chronologic symptoms and treatments that had happened and does a deep ayurvedic assessment. The way she explains doshas and what has lead me to where I got to; has built so much of trust and confidence and encouragement. With-in less than 2 months I saw results in my healing, that allopathic guys told idiopathic (they can't root cause).
If you are taking bunch of meds daily and don't see light at the end of tunnel, consider talking to Dr.Manju. All it took me was one sitting and probably a follow-up after month or two. I am so glad I did it. There is no other better way of taking Ayurveda home!! It was a blessing to have Dr.Manju in bay area!!. Go Go Ayurhitam
