Marma Therapy has ever been one of Ayurveda's most powerful healing modalities for stress and pain management. Marmas are vital, hidden or secret points found where energy and matter come together or, as one can say, ''where the tissues of the body eavesdrop on your internal dialogue". Marmas are points that are intelligent and can keep the body in touch with itself and its needs. This specialized massage technique is particularly useful to heal damaged tissue, to detoxify by activating the lymphatic system, to unblock tension from nerves, muscles and joints and to facilitate proper Pranic flow. A rejuvenative, relaxing and revitalizing therapy, Marma Points Massage offers a holistic approach as it helps to harmonize body and mind.''
