Dr. Swarupa Shyam Mane*

ABSTRACT

Knowledge of sharir is very important to every physician. Acharya charak mentioned that the physician who knows the entire body in all aspects; know the science of life (Ayurved). Our acharya and their followers have located 107 vulnerable anatomical areas on the surface of the human body & have labelled them as marma-sthala. Acupressure can be used in both presence and absence of the western medicine. Many people even in the west are becoming more aware of the manifold and horrendous complications of drug therapy and are seeking alternative forms of therapy. Here by comparing talhrudya marma to acupressure point will give new pathway to the study in different lines of treatments. Such type of study increases knowledge of medical persons & it gives good direction in treatment. Laogong (P 8) point of acupressure therapy can be compared with the Talahruday marma in upper extremity related to Ayurved.
