The Power of Marma Points for Hormones and Detoxification
In the realm of holistic health, ancient healing practices often hold profound wisdom that transcends time. Ayurvedic Medicine is something I embrace in my practice and life and the Marma Points are deeply rooted in this medicine.
They are considered the seats of consciousness and life force energy (prana). These vital energy points scattered throughout the body serve as gateways to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-beings.
There are a total of 107 Marma Points with varying degrees of importance and sensitivity. Each one is connected to specific organs, tissues and systems, influencing their function and flow. By stimulating these points through gentle touch or pressure, we can awaken the body’s innate healing mechanisms promising both balance and harmony.
As women we have a delicate dance with our hormones, and when they fall out of balance it can manifest in a variety of symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, fertility challenges, mood swings, insomnia, skin issues and more.
Bringing Hormone Harmony Back
There are specific Marma Points that can significantly promote hormonal balance, for example the Sthapani Point which is located at the center of the forehead, can alleviate stress and support the HPA axis which is the center for hormone regulation. Another important one is the Udara Point, nestled near the navel, believed to enhance digestion and metabolism, both critically important for hormones and detox processes.
Importance for Health
