Marma Therapy-the gentle art of treating specific vital points on the human body-is one of the healing secrets of ayurveda. It can be used to detoxify, strengthen, and revitalize the body for relaxation or to release blocked energy. In this 148-page hardcover text, authors J. Ramanuja Raju and Ernst and Stefan Schrott explain marma therapy's theoretical basis and provide a detailed, fully illustrated guide to its use.
