Practitioners Given Abhyanga and Marma Point Treatments
Marma Point balancing, combined with abhyanga, involves the gentle stimulation of specific points on the body through light touch, massage, and pressure. Abhyanga, a deeply restorative Ayurvedic oil massage, enhances this process by nourishing the body and calming the nervous system. Together, these therapies help to unblock and align the flow of energy, much like removing a dam from a river. By addressing these energy blockages, Marma therapeutics and abhyanga allow the natural flow of energy to continue on its intended path, promoting overall balance and well-being.
