Comparative analysis of Marma Vastu and Sira Marma Vidha Laxanas in The Context of Stroke Syndrome

Abstract

Marma shareera concepts were comprehensively discussed in Sharera Sthana of SushrutaSamhita, Marma locations; their types as well as the categorization of their fatalities are very much relevant till today. Here an effort is made to establish a relative hypothesis in vascularpathologies. A detail description is made on anatomical tissues or marma vastu especially on siraand dhamani which are involved in the marma injuries and also can be assessed by either in Sadhopranahara and vaikalykar marma viddha laxanas with the contemporary details of Brain stroke syndrome. The Brain stroke or Stroke syndrome is when blood flow to the brain isblocked or there is sudden bleeding in the brain. There are two types of strokes. A stroke that occurs because of blood flow to the brain is blocked called an ischemic stroke. Hemorrhagicstroke is due to bleeding into the brain by the rupture of a blood vessel. Hemorrhagic stroke maybe further subdivided into intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).ICH is bleeding into the brain parenchyma, and SAH is bleeding into the subarachnoid spacemore specifically, nontraumatic (spontaneous) ICH.The brain cannot get oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes. Theleaked blood results in pressure on brain cells, damaging them. The burden of stroke isincreasing in India; stroke is now the fourth leading cause of death and the fifth leading cause ofdisability. Research suggests that the incidence of stroke in India ranges between 105 and152/100,000 people per year. So, there is a need of understanding such disabilities by the meansof our concepts and try to avoid these by following certain regimes and activities which areexplained in our classics.
