	LA Yoga. Feature. Marma Therapy
		Marmas are of various compositions relative to the tissues that make them up, defined as bone, tendon, muscle, nerve or vein, including relative to channels that carry the doshas (biological humors) and channels that carry thought and emotion.
		Marma points are important regions for gauging the doshas, their level of accumulation and their possible disorders, particularly relative to vata dosha, which governs pain and trauma.
		Applying camphor, menthol or eucalyptus to the marmas at the side of the nostrils to remove congestion is such a stimulating marma therapy, while applying cooling and calming sandalwood oil to the third eye to treat headaches is such a sedating approach.

		Marma points, supposed to be located on these meridians, boost the prana each time it flows through, resulting in a stronger life force energy.
		Marma points are also divided on the basis of their pancha bhautic (five elements) constitution into sadya pranahara (fire), kalanthara pranahara (water), vishalaya ghunam (air), vaikalyakara (earth) and rujakara (space).
