Kalari Marma Treatment

The word Marma used with meanings as tender, secrete or vital places. There are certain anatomical locations in the body which are vital, and serve as small pockets of Prana, thus any injury to these parts can be painful and cripple the local functions or even lead to sudden death of the individual. They are junctions of different channels of Prana movements in the body. Prana is a vital energy ,Prana pervades each and every corner of the body, it nourishes , guides and controls the functioning of the cell and systems. when these MARMA (junctions) are affected or ruptured ,the organs linked with Prana channels become starved with lack of Prana and some organ becomes diseased ,crippled or paralyzed or depending upon the quantum is of Prana being lost ,it may lead to slow or sudden death. Marma is the meeting point of Mamsa , Asthi, Sira , Snayu, Dhamani, Sandhi, and ‘where the Prana is present’. This is similar with Chinese meridian concept in which the points appear either on signal meridian line or at meeting points of different meridian.
