As the name suggests, Marma Chikitsa is a direct treatment of the marma points. Marma means “important vulnerable energy point” and cikitsā means “treatment”.
In contrast to Chavitti Thirummu, in this form of therapy selected marma points are manipulated directly, e.g. through pressure or heat.
Indication:
Marma Chikitsa is used to correct injuries in acute states or to treat chronic conditions such as whiplash or frozen shoulder.
Very often Chavitti Thirummu and Marma Chikitsa are used in combination.
