Course Details
About the Marma Therapy Course
Marma therapy, an ancient Indian practice, uses gentle pressure on specific body points to enhance physical and mental well-being by restoring energy balance and promoting relaxation. The use of pressure points for massage and acupuncture has become a regular feature in natural healing today. In Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, these pressure points are called Marmas, meaning ‘vulnerable’ or ‘sensitive’ zones in body. Such points can be used specifically for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or generally for promoting health and longevity.
