The use of pressure points known as marmas has a millennia-old tradition in Indian traditional healing and represents an important interface between yoga and Ayurveda. These significant energy points are utilized not only for therapeutic purposes but also serve as a means of mentally transformative techniques. Marmas have a direct connection to yoga chakras and energy pathways, and manipulating their energies significantly aids in creating balance between the physical and mental components. The book on marma therapy by the renowned American Ayurveda expert Dr. David Frawley, prepared in collaboration with two leading Indian specialists, provides a detailed introduction to all 107 classical marmas and elaborates on their anatomical connections as well as their links to massage techniques, herbal treatment, aromatherapy, and yoga techniques. This publication, the very first of its kind in the West, is an invaluable source of information for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field of reflexive healing and the energy dynamics of the human body.
