Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Marma Sharira is considered as half knowledge of surgery and one should give importance to this ancient traumatological anatomy, presented by the great Acharya Sushruta .The Marmas are said to be vital part of our body and any injury or trauma to these vital points leads to abrupt death, severe pain or enduring disability according to site and type of injury. Guda Marma is one of the most crucial Marma and is also considered as one of among the Dashapranayatas (abodes of life, a place where vital life energy resides) in Ayurvedic texts. Guda Marma is a base of proctology, described as Mulasthana of Purishvaha Strotasa and Muladhar Chakra, which abides pelvic plexus. Any injury to this Marma may prove to be malicious hence, it is called as Sadyapranahara. Similarly; during surgery if Ano rectal region gets traumatized, it may lead to peritonitis, internal haemorrhage, septicaemia, toxaemia, shock or even death. It defines its impulsive disposition and importance while performing delicate procedures in proctological diseases. It is essential for the proctologist to consider the Sadyapranaharatva of Guda Marma, explained in Ayurveda and to follow some safeguards mentioned in Samhitas to protect the Marma from any type of anguish. Methodology includes literature study of both ancient Samhitas and Modern texts to evaluate Sadyapranaharatva of Guda Marma, and its surgical importance.
