This review is from: Ayurveda and Marma Therapy: Energy Points in Yogic Healing (Paperback)
I liked this book very much and will keep it as part of my Ayuervedic library. It has very detailed and useful medical information. I was a little disappointed with the lack of spiritual information and spiritual tie-in to our physical parts. But over all a very good reference book.

This review is from: Ayurveda and Marma Therapy: Energy Points in Yogic Healing (Paperback)
I have been intrigued with acupressure points, acupuncture points, and as of late, Marma points, for use in my healing practice over the past few years. I use these points energetically, as opposed to manual stimulation. So, up to the release of this book I was always looking for better guides, maps, and general information for the Marmas. This book delivered exactly what I needed.
This book is a very complete and comprehensive guide to Marmas, their locations, what they govern, and how to interact with them based on Ayurvedic medicine. Invaluable information contained here that is as good a guide as I have seen so far. A great choice and addition to anyone's healing practice or home library.
