Abstract:
Marma points are vital areas in the body described in Ayurvedic and traditional Indian medicine. There are believed to be 107 Marma points distributed throughout the body, with varying degrees of significance. In the ancient practice of Ayurveda, Hriday Marma holds significant prominence as a vital point in the body's energy system. Marma points are pivotal areas where physical and subtle energy pathways intersect, influencing health and well-being. It governs not only cardiac function but also emotional intelligence, compassion, and the ability to form meaningful connections. According to Acharya Charaka and Acharya Sushruta, Hridaya is one of the Koshtanga. According to Charaka, Hridaya is the Moola Sthana for Pranavaha Strotus and Rasavaha strotas. It ejects and receives Rasarakta Dhatu by the help of Vyanavayu. It controls intellectual power and mental activities of human being, by Manas and Sadhakapitta.
