Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that emphasises the importance of achieving balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. It is based on the belief that each individual has a unique constitution, or "dosha," which is determined by the predominance of three fundamental elements: vata, pitta, and kapha. An Ayurvedic practitioner uses a holistic approach to healthcare, incorporating dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, yoga, and meditation to address the root causes of imbalance and promote overall well-being. The goal of Ayurveda is to help individuals maintain optimal health and prevent the onset of disease through the adoption of a lifestyle that is in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

Marmapuncture and TCM Acupuncture both use tiny needles or pressure to stimulate energy centres within the body. However, Marmapuncture is based off of Ayurvedic principles with the focus on regulating the Prana (vital energy or life force) as well as dosha analysis and chakras within the body. The marma points however do correlate with TCM acupuncture through the organ meridians (channels that energy flows) which can lie on or near the same locations.
