Marma, the energy points for healing body, mind, and consciousness in the Ayurvedic tradition, share many aspects with the Chinese medical concepts of acupoints. In this text the authors present marma therapy in the context of ancient Indian philosophy, and introduce TCM as a comparative model, examining both similarities and differences of the two systems. Subsequently the 117 marma points and their roles in treatment and healing are detailed. Lastly is an explication of aromatherapy in relation to marma points, the 14 principal channels, the treatment of common medical conditions, and yoga therapy to stimulate the marma points. Several useful appendices provide tables and illustrations that detail Ayurvedic 5 phases, 7 dhatus, srotamsi, pulses, chakras, chromotherapy, constitutional guidelines, and marma point charts; TCM channels, huatuo points, and body point charts; and tables of correspondences, locations, and lists for marma and acupoints.
