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.

Dr.Manju came highly recommended by a friend. I was dealing with very challenging health symptoms for almost two years and … More had not found any help to relieve the symptoms. This started affecting my day to day activities and my sleep. From the get go, I found Dr.Manju to be very approachable, calm, helpful and very thorough in her knowledge. Through her help I am feeling much better now and have been able to sleep well after a long time. She has gone out of her way to help me with all my questions and even taking her time to answer my text messages whenever I reached out to her with any concern. I feel more calm and free of anxiety knowing that I am in the hands of a very caring and knowledgeable practitioner. I am looking forward to getting back to my routine soon. Thank you very much Dr. Manju.

I recently sought Ayurvedic health support from Manju to address persistent hand pain that I had been experiencing for a … More few months. From the very beginning, Manju's holistic approach impressed me. She took the time to understand my lifestyle, diet, and overall health before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
The treatment included a combination of herbal remedies, dietary changes, and daily routines to restore balance to my body. Manju also introduced me to specific oils for massage therapy (Abhyanga) that targeted my hand pain and promoted relaxation in the muscles and joints. Over time, I began to notice a gradual improvement—not just in the pain relief, but also in my overall well-being.
What I appreciated most about Manju's Ayurvedic approach was how it addressed the root causes of my pain rather than just the symptoms. It felt sustainable, and I never had to rely on painkillers. The emphasis on balance, natural remedies, and body awareness has left a lasting positive impact on my health.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Manju and her Ayurvedic treatments for anyone dealing with chronic pain. It takes patience, but the long-term benefits are worth it. Her personalized care and natural healing methods helped me regain flexibility and ease the pain in my hand. -

My journey with Manju started in March 2024. I had been suffering from iron deficiency for a very long time and had been … More desperately looking for a long-term solution for the past 3-4 years. I was frustrated with all the ‘band-aid’ treatments that were prescribed, as they never seemed to provide a lasting solution. I used to feel tired all the time because my hemoglobin and ferritin levels were always way below optimal. After trying numerous OTC iron supplements, iron infusions, and ‘iron-rich diet plans’ that just didn’t work for me, I was on the verge of accepting that this is how my life was going to be—getting iron infused into my body every year. That was until I randomly found Ayurhitham!
I’m so glad I decided to try Ayurveda and am deeply grateful to have found Manju! Manju is meticulous in collecting minute details about her client’s health history and daily routines. She is extremely patient, an excellent listener, and very empathetic—qualities that were missing in my past doctors. She takes her client’s health seriously and strives to find a sustainable solution to their problems. Manju not only provides medicines to treat the symptoms but also addresses the root cause by recommending lifestyle changes—again, something that was missing in my previous consultations with doctors. Another distinguishing quality that she has is: if any of the medicines/herbs is not working for you, she will work with you to understand why and immediately suggest any modifications. She will make sure the medicines and prescriptions work for you, and not against you.
Within three months of my first consultation with Manju, my hemoglobin levels rose significantly after taking the herbs she prescribed and following her lifestyle recommendations. This was truly a miracle for me!
I had also developed migraines over the past couple of years, probably as a side effect of my iron/hemoglobin deficiency. Manju helped me take control of my migraines too! She was kind enough to accommodate me immediately when I had a sudden migraine attack at work and promptly scheduled ‘Shirodhara’ therapy sessions for me the next day and in the following weeks. Yaniz and Monica were adept at administering the Shirodhara therapy, always ensuring I felt better after each session. After two months of taking the herbs prescribed for my migraines and undergoing the heavenly Shirodhara sessions, my migraines just disappeared!
Manju is a godsend for me, and I’m forever grateful to her and her team at Ayurhitham! 🙏🏽
I am slowly but effectively improving my health, and I hope to continue my journey with Ayurhitham and Ayurveda by following the sustainable lifestyle changes recommended by Manju.
I highly recommend Ayurhitham if you are looking for long-term solutions for any of your health problems, want to include Ayurveda in your lifestyle, or want to experience miracles too! 😃✌🏽 -
