How to Stimulate Janu Marma: The Step-by-Step Technique
In his instructional video, Dr. Sunil Joshi demonstrates the easiest and most effective way to self-stimulate the Janu Marma using the “Top-to-Down” Technique.
Step 1: Hand Placement
Locate the back of your knee, known medically as the popliteal fossa. Position your fingers just below the lateral border (outer edge) of the popliteal fossa.
Step 2: Apply Pressure (Top-to-Down Technique)
Using a gentle, rhythmic pulsing motion, apply downward pressure from the top section towards the lower section of the point.
Step 3: Repetition
For optimal results, press and stimulate this specific point 15 to 18 times in a single session.
