Marma Gutika — Overview
Marma Gutika is an elaborate pill formulation indicated for injuries and disorders of the Marma (vital points of the body). Its primary ingredients include Vidari, Jivanti, Shatavari, Mustha, Varahikanda, Kuruveru, Amalaki, Sariba, Guduchi and Durva (one kudava each); Yashtimadhu and Rakta Chandana (four pala each); and Sahasravedhi, Kathini and Shilajatu (one pala each), among others.
The fine powder is pounded successively with multiple decoctions — first an Ashtamamsa Kashaya of Prasarini, Murva, Vata, Ashwattha, Udumbara, Plaksha, Kataka, Gokshura, Mustha and Usira; then a decoction of Vata, Udumbara, Ashwattha, Plaksha, Lodhra, Jambu, Pullani and Daruharidra; followed by Pashanabheda Kashaya; and finally Masha-Mudga-Ela Kashaya. The mass is rolled into pills the size of an Amalaki fruit and shade-dried. It is used internally for all types of Marma Vikara and is also applied externally as a Lepa (paste) over vital parts to relieve pain.
