Abstract

According to medical science, the specific parts of the body, which are very vulnerable to trauma, are known as Marma. Any trauma to these places may lead to death or many other complications regarding physiological functions and anatomical configuration. So, during any surgical intervention/ para-surgical procedures, one has to take care of these vital points. As we know, in accidental cases, some people die without massive outside injuries but some survive despite of having extensive injuries and become healthy later on after proper treatment. That is because the vital points (Marma) are injured and a person dies immediately. Therefore, these vital points are important for the survival of human beings. On the other hand, the stimulation of these points is important to treat a number of diseases both in acute and chronic conditions because these places are known as vital parts and are the source of energy. In the present situation where the whole of medical science is away from the reach of the common man due to its expensiveness and hazards, it is highly essential to take the privilege of making Marma science and therapy as a mainstream treatment mainly for pain management as in case of Ayurveda, instant pain management is a big issue.
