Abstract

Marma Science holds an important place in Ayurveda especially from the Surgical point of view. AcharyaSushruta has given a lot of importance to Marma describing them as physio – anatomical vital structures where concentrated life force energy (Prana) is located. Out of the 107 Marmas described in our texts, IndrabastiMarma is a shakhagat (Limbs)Marma located in both upper and lower limb. The Samhitas describe the ill effect (viddhalakshana) produced by Injury to IndrabastiMarmaas death after a peculiar interval, which is caused due to gradual blood loss within 15-30 days. In this fast-moving lifestyle, road traffic accidents are quite common. Limb injuries are quiet commonest injuries in RTA.The present work was conducted to revalidate whether the impact of injury on IndrabastiMarma, mentioned by Samhitais applicable in today’s era.This observational study conducted on 30 patients of IndrabastiMarmaViddhata (injury)revealed that IndrabastiMarma asKalantarPranaharaMarma in maximum cases was converted to either Vaikalyakara (deformity producing) or Rujakara (pain causing) type. The fatality percentage due to IndrabastiMarma Injury has gone down in todays developed modern medical science.
