Agnikarma (Thermal Cautery) is an Ancient Medical Technique derived from the Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda. The technique of Agnikarma has been designed to relieve various muscular and joint disorders.

The Agnikarma (Thermal Cautery) involves a procedure whereby heat is transferred to the affected parts of the body using a metal Shalaka (metal rod).

Therapeutic burns are created using these metal rods, based on the specialist knowledge in a number of areas including the kind of disorder, the constitution of the patient, severity of the disorder, etc.

Probable mode of action of Agnikarma

Agni possesses Ushna, Tikshna, Sukshma and Aashukari Gunas, which are opposite to Vata and anti Kapha properties. Physical heat from red hot Shalaka is transferred as therapeutic heat to Twakdhatu by producing Samyak Dagdha Vrana. From Twakdhatu this therapeutic heat acts in three ways. First, due to Ushna, Tikshna, Sukshma, Ashukari Guna it removes the Srotavarodha, pacifies the vitiated Vata and Kapha Dosha and maintains their equilibrium. Secondly, it increases the Rasa Rakta Samvahana (blood circulation) to affected site. The excess blood circulation to the affected part flushes away the pain producing substances and patient gets relief from symptoms. Third, therapeutic heat increases the Dhatwagni, so metabolism of Dhatu becomes proper and digests the Amadosha from the affected site and promotes proper nutrition from Purva Dhatu. In this way, Asthi and Majja Dhatu become more stable. Further it can be endorsed that the therapeutic heat goes to the deeper tissue like Mamsa Dhatu and neutralizes the Sheeta Guna of Vata and Kapha Dosha and in this way vitiated Doshas come to the phase of equilibrium and patients got relief from the symptoms.
