Shringataka marma location

Question

I recently started learning about marma points and their therapeutic significance in Ayurveda. One term that keeps coming up is shringataka marma location, but I can’t seem to find clear information about where exactly it is or how it’s used in treatments. Can someone explain shringataka marma location and its importance in Ayurveda?

Does shringataka marma play a role in managing conditions like headaches, sinus issues, or eye strain? I’ve been dealing with persistent sinus congestion and occasional migraines, and I wonder if activating or massaging this marma point could help. Are there specific Ayurvedic oils or techniques used to stimulate shringataka marma?

Lastly, is shringataka marma connected to emotional health as well, since many marma points are linked to both physical and mental well-being? If anyone has experience with therapies involving shringataka marma, I’d love to learn how it worked for you.

The shringataka marma point is located at the center of the forehead, just above the space between the eyebrows, often referred to as the "third eye" area. This marma is highly significant in Ayurveda as it plays a key role in balancing the mind and senses, particularly in relieving tension in the head and face. Stimulating the shringataka marma can be beneficial for conditions like headaches, sinus congestion, and eye strain, as it helps improve circulation, ease tension, and promote relaxation. Massaging this area with soothing Ayurvedic oils like sandalwood or bhringaraj oil, or using gentle pressure during practices like yoga or meditation, can help activate this point. In terms of emotional health, the shringataka marma is also connected to mental clarity and emotional stability, and stimulating it may support relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve focus. Regular practice of massaging this marma, along with breathing exercises, can provide relief for both physical and emotional well-being.
