Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Marma science is one of the unique concepts of Ayurveda. Ancient scholars of Ayurveda have described a total of 107 Marma in the body. It is formed by the confluence of Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi and it is the site where vital energy resides. Marma are the vulnerable areas present in the body, any trauma on the Marma region may cause loss of function of that organ or site and even death may occur depending upon the site and strength of the trauma. Sushruta has described Marma areas from the view of surgery; Charak has given utmost importance to Basti Marma by placing it among the three major Marmas of body (Shira/Head, Hridaya/Heart and Basti/Urinary Bladder). Basti Marma is considered as one among Sadyo pranahara(instant fatal), any injury to this Marma may cause peritonitis, pelvic arterial hemorrhage, pelvic fracture and deep vein thrombosis that’s why any trauma to Basti region causes death due to septic or hypovolemic shock and pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study is to review the position and the scope of instant fatality of Basti Marma in present era. In ancient times the main cause of injury in pelvic region was sharp weapons used in the battles between the two states but now-a -days penetrating and blunt trauma due to road accidents, sports injury has become the leading cause of pelvic injury, so the updated knowledge of Basti Marma and the symptoms, prognosis of traumatic bladder in the light of contemporary science is very essential so that proper management can be provided to the victims of bladder injury.
