On Ayurveda 'Marmasthans ' are special points of energies in the body. This ancient science of dealing with body energies was taken to China during the religious and cultural changes taking place in India and the Chinese developed this science as acupuncture. But Ayurvedic acupuncturists or marma therapists are fully aware of the energy chakras and all energy points which can be treated to unblock the channels of energies. Ayurvedic acupuncture is still widely in practice in India and Sri Lanka.
