Abstract

Agnikarma, or heat cauterization, is one of Ayurveda's Anushastras (surgical  tool substitutes) or para-surgical techniques. It is said to offer total relief in some  chronic ailments that aren't treated by herbal treatment, surgery, or alkaline  cauterization. Ancient Indian surgeon Sushruta prescribed various materials  such as Pippali (pipperlongum), Ajasakrut (goat's excreta), Godantha (cow's  tooth), Shara (arrow), Shalaka (metal rods), Kshoudra (honey), Guda (jaggery),  Sneha (oil/fat) etc. for cauterizing specific body parts such as skin, muscle,  blood vessels, ligaments, etc. based for various illness conditions, appropriate  material should be selected according to the surgeon's rationale. Agnikarma has  a multi-faceted effect on the body. Because of its Tikshna (rapid action), Ushna (hotness), Sukshma (subtle), Vyavayi (fast spreading), and Vikashi (works  without being metabolised) properties to eradicate Srotorodha (obstruction in  channels of body), it is usually employed in Vata and Kapha diseases.The  fundamentals of Agnikarma are attempted to be revealed in this essay.
