The concept of ''marma'' described in Ayurveda texts differs with those described in ''Keraliya Marma Chikitsa'' (''Kalari Marma'') and the Tamilian ''marma'' concept. The numbers and positions also vary greatly. The Keraliyan ''marma'' concept seems to be more related to warfare medicine and the management of trauma while the tamilian ''marma'' concept is more so as described in Ayurveda related to ''kshata'' as well well as ''doshaja aghata''. Ayurveda believes that suppression of urges, over enthusiastic activities, strainful activities, faulty treatment practices can actually cause ''doshaja marmaghata''. | The concept of ''marma'' described in Ayurveda texts differs with those described in ''Keraliya Marma Chikitsa'' (''Kalari Marma'') and the Tamilian ''marma'' concept.
