linked to the chakras. When marma points are open, the body is kept fully

they are partly or fully closed, due to mental stress, poor diets ,
or injury, it can lead to problems of all kinds. For example, our faces may
appear strained and dull, we may experience breakouts, and we may comment about
feeling disconnected or confused.If you want to go deeper into your self-care routine, you can apply pressure to your marma points. Each point correlates with a particular physical and mental aspect of your mind and body. These points helpus balance our energy, lymphatic, nervous, and circulatory system.
