Abstract

Nowadays, diabetic retinopathy is one of the main reasons people go blind in the world. Thus, encouraging researchers to look for strategies to stop its progression and provide effective treatment. Laser, photocoagulation, vitrectomy, etc. are used in treatment. They are beneficial for a brief period of time, but on the flip side, they have significant reoccurrence rates and cause discomfort to the person. Ayurveda's undiscovered riches can be discovered here to benefit humanity. One such undiscovered resource is Marma Chikitsa. Pressing Marma points releases energy blockages, eliminates excess Ama, facilitates easy energy flow, nourishes tissues, and produces endorphins and cortisol-like hormones, which in turn cause a calm shut-off FFF response and enhance blood circulation. All of these activities lead to improved performance in that specific area. With Pathya Ahara, a healthy diet, exercise, and the right medication, some Marma points, including Apanga, Avarta, Sthapni, Vidhura, Kurcha, Kurchshira, Indravasti, and Nabhi, that are associated with the eyes and others that promote better metabolism, can be very effective in slowing the progression of retinopathy. Marma Chikitsa may be a reliable, practical, and affordable adjuvant treatment for diabetic retinopathy.
