Abstract

Marma Sthanas are the point of junction of the Mansa, Sira, Asthi, Dhamni and Sandhi where the Prana resides. Ayurvedic Acharyas have classified the Marma Sthanas on the basis of location, number, composition, effects of injury etc. There are total 107 Marma Sthanas mentioned in the Sushruta Samhita present in the Shakha and Skandha. There are total 37 Marma Sthanas which are present in the head and neck region termed as Urdhavajatrugata Marma. Any trauma to the Marma Sthanas produces pain and can be fatal to the life. Therefore the knowledge of Marma is very essential for the surgeon to protect the patient from any harm during the surgery.
