thanks for the additions Dr. Bhate

nasya is indeed an interesting and unique therapy

 

your comments however beg discussion of another issue, that of marma

chikitsa

 

to my understanding marmas are the 'death-points' that are avoided by

surgeons etc.

at least this is how this subject is introduced and discussed in the

classical texts

 

in this context i have always found the discussion of marma therapy,

which appears to be somewhat popular here in the West, somewhat puzzling

 

when i was studying in Kerala i was told of a complimentary system of

points in kalari that can be used to treat injuries to the marmas

points, but that direct treatment is not given to the marmas

specifically - rather, these points are known so that one can easily

disable their opponent in battle

 

comments?

Dear

Instead of commenting on the details of marma therapy on this board,

let the author list the reference to in-depth discussion:

 

http://www.mlbd.com/msubjdisp.asp?subname=bestsellers&Page=8&nxtPage=1

 

This is the only book fully on marma therapy, other than scattered

but scanty literature. While this book is available on-line from many

other sites at higher cost, this site offers a paper back at nearly

1/3 cost.

 

Regards

Dr Bhate
