Marma is a point of concentration of prana or vital energy. Varmam is a subtle energy that assists the body's proper functioning (i.e., regulates air, blood and heat flow in the body). Varmam points are the locations where the Varmam energy resides and functions. Apabahuka is one among Vatavyadhi that affects the normal operation of the upper extremities. Vitiated Vata located at Amsamula (root of the shoulders) causes Sira? Sankocha (constriction of veins presents there) and produce Apabahuka which results in Bahupraspanditahara. Amsa Marmabhighata Lakshana (trauma to the Amsa Marma), where the Bahu lose its function and becomes stiff resembles the symptoms of Apabahuka. Hence, Marmabhighata is also considered as one of the specific Nidana for Apabahuka. So, stimulation of Marma points will help in relieving the symptoms.
