Instructions

❀ Learn more about the Ayurvedic approach to stress management:

Marma chikitsa, the science of energy or pressure points, provides a gentle and effective way to relieve stress and combat emotional disturbances. There are five marmani (marma points) on the scalp that have the ability to balance emotions, awaken intelligence, and relieve tension to promote head and neck comfort. In this video, Anisha Durve, DOM, Ayurvedic practitioner and founder of the Marma Institute of Ayurvedic Acupressure, walks us through a marma massage ritual to work with these pressure points on the scalp that you can practice every day.
