Abstract Ayurveda offers a detailed and holistic understanding of the human body through its unique anatomical concept of Marma—vital points where multiple structures converge. These points are considered centers of Prana (Vital Energy) and play an essential role in health, therapy, and survival. This review explores the classical descriptions of Marma as provided in Sushruta Samhita and correlates them with modern neuroanatomical landmarks such as nerve plexuses, cranial nerves, autonomic ganglia, and neuromuscular junctions. We also evaluate their clinical relevance in surgical safety, trauma care, and integrative therapies such as Marma Chikitsa. Our findings reveal significant parallels that validate Marma science within modern neurological and therapeutic contexts.
