Abstract

The science of Marma is extraordinary and has tremendous value in health, longevity, spiritual practice and diseases. In Shusruta Samhita 107 Marmas are mentioned. Marma is defined as the combination of Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi, injury at these points may lead to death or disability. There are 27 Marmas mentioned under the heading of Snayu Marma. Koorcha is among the Snayu marma, located in Shakhas. Aim of our study is to critically analyze the appropriate structures related to site of Koorcha Marma; it is two Angula above the Kshipra Marma. The study concludes that, the extensor and flexor tendons along with lumbricals and nerves may be taken anatomically as the Koorcha Marma; as Pramana of the Marma is Swapanital, so it can be assumed as the complete palm below the Khispra Marma. So, the anatomical structures present in this area are the tendons and nerves which resembles like bunch.
