Tala-hṛdaya-adjacent hand focus

Palm receiving and distributing proxy

The hand focus makes palm and hand work visible in a front-view oiling sequence and uses the tala-hṛdaya vocabulary cautiously. This is a target-organ projection of a therapy-region classification, not a claim that the palm is a universal oil-treatment point or that its marma can be safely pressed.

Suśruta Saṃhitā (primary_canonical)

Śārīrasthāna 6 lists hand and palm vital regions within the marma classification; the hand focus is deliberately adjacent and does not reproduce the full marma list.

Modern abhyaṅga teaching supports attention to hands and limbs during an oiling sequence; the point remains an editorial proxy.
