Abstract

Marma science is one of the hidden sciences of Ayurveda which was practiced in Vedic era. Marma science is an ancient art of healing based on re-energizing vital points in the body for revamping the Prana which is hidden status as Gupta Vidya (occult science). After stimulating the Marma points, many transformations in the body’s biochemistry might occur, resulting in a revolutionary chemical change in one’s make-up. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways causes the body to produce therapeutic neurochemicals which allow the body and mind to heal. There are only a few scattered references in Vedic literature which indicate that this science has flourished since the beginning of humanity. In this review article, a modest attempt is made to gather historical details of Marma science, which might be used to re-explore Ayurveda’s new realms.
