Magic of marmas

Marma points are powerful acupressure points that are integral in all Ayurvedic therapies, including your facial ritual. We have 107 of these points throughout our body, with 34 of them located in our face and head.

Marmas, meaning vulnerable or sensitive zones, are situated at multiple neuro-lymphatic nodes and can conduct vital lifeforce prana and subtle energy through the whole being. These points have a deeply spiritual component to them and require gentle massage to nourish the whole body.

In an Ayurvedic facial treatment, marma points are gently massaged with oil to bring lustre, balance and deep rejuvenation to the skin, as well as create a deeply restorative nervous system response. Marma point facial massage is a powerful way to revitalise our tissues and organs and to remove energy blockages.

At Flow Facials, marma point facial massage forms the basis of our Ayurvedic facelift ritual; THE LIFT. This holistic facial massage allows the emotional and energetic blockages that get stuck in our facial tissues to be released, leading to a youthful and vibrant complexion. Increasing energy flow (prana), circulation and increasing cellular renewal is vital in a healthy, vital skin and a calm, grounded mind.
