Preeti Tiwari*, Anish Kumar Pathak and Rakesh Kumar Sharma

ABSTRACT

A 46 year-old male with Type-2 diabetes mellitus for many years, presented with classical signs and symptoms of disease. In addition to standard treatment and life style modification, Marma Chikitsa was used for relieving disease symptoms and clinical parameters. Marma Chikitsa is an Ayurvedic therapy involving stimulation of specific Marma points such as Kurcha, Kurchashira and Indravasti, etc. This therapy improves energy flow, remove toxins and nourish tissues. Over 12 weeks, with regular stimulation of these Marma points, along with a Pathya ahara and healthy lifestyle, the patient experienced significant improvements. His symptoms were reduced and blood glucose levels became more controlled, illustrating the potential of Marma Chikitsa in diabetes. This case study suggested that Marma Chikitsa can be used as an effective and safe adjuvant therapy in managing diabetes parameters along with other therapies and life style modification.
