Marma Chikitsa: Application of regulated force on marmas (sensitive vital points of the body, which is 107 in number ), using herbal oils, is what is known as Marmachikitsa.
Ayurveda, which gives emphasis on prevention of diseases rather than cure, is a main part of India’s rich cultural heritage. It is also India’s most ancient and natural method of healing. Kerala is often referred to as the “Cradle of Ayurveda”. The origin of Ayurveda dates back to at least 3000 years, according to historians. Kerala has its own tradition in Ayurveda with contributions from Ashtavaidya’s ( Traditional Physicians expert in eight branches of Ayurveda; ashta means 8 and vaidyas means traditional physicians). Vatha, Pitha and Kapha are the three Doshas of the Body. Thridoshas keep the body healthy when they are normal but when they become abnormal, it results in the contraction of diseases.
The kapha toxins accumulated in the body and the respiratory tract are effectively removed by Vamana, one of the five therapies of Panchakarma in Ayurveda. Vamana is therapeutic vomiting, which is a medicated emesis therapy. People with high imbalance of kapha are given this type of treatment, which loosens and mobilizes the toxins, in an effort to eliminate them from the body. Waste products (vitiated dosha) are eliminated through the upper gastrointestinal tract. The vitiated kapha are eliminated through the mouth. After vomiting, the sinus is cleared, which in turn provides relief from congestion, wheezing and breathlessness. Indications- skin diseases, Insanity, Elephantiasis, Asthma.
