However, there are some narration in Ayurvedic texts which indicates the therapeutic fact of marma such as, The effect of massage and medicines applied to foot sole are carried by special Siras to nourished the eyes, therefore one willing to get good eyesight and health should protect the sole. Urdhavajatrugata part is a very important part of the body and Shiro (head) is most important part as told by Acharya Charka and referred as Uttamanga because it contains all the five intellectual senses and seat of Prana (vital energy).

In this article it has been tried to explore structure forming the vital point for better understanding about marma pathology and treatment in present scinerio.
