Abstract:-
Marma is an ayurvedic anatomical term for vital points of body. Out of 107 marma,three marmas are very important because they are not only the vital points but they also control the complete body system and injury to these trimarmas quickly affects the vitality of a person and may be fatal. These trimarmas are Shira (brain), Hriday (heart) and basti(urinary system).The response of human body system to the modern lifestyle has shown tremendous rise in the number of patients of Hrudroga. In India lack of facilities for diagnosis, treatment and unaffordable cost of medical care add to the huge existing burden on heart disease. Preventive care is of utmost important in this situation, which can be achieved through proper and complete knowledge of dosha dushti and srotovaigunya of hrudroga.In this study the hriday marma is studied and an attempt is made to establish a correlation between the symptomatology of hrudroga from Ayurvedic and modern point of view.
Key words: Marma,Heart disease, Preventive care.
