Agnikarma therapy is a traditional therapeutic procedure used in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. It involves the application of heat or fire to specific points on the body to treat various ailments. The word "Agnikarma" is derived from the Sanskrit words "agni" meaning fire and "karma" meaning action or procedure.
During an Agnikarma session, a trained practitioner uses heated instruments or a controlled flame to create a localized thermal effect on the body. The heat is applied to specific points or areas on the body where there is a blockage or imbalance of energy. The aim is to stimulate healing, improve blood circulation, and restore the flow of energy in the affected area.
Agnikarma is effective in conditions like Knee pain, Back Pain, Sciatica, Lumbago, Lumbar spondylosis, Slipped Disc, Neck pain, Cervical Spondylosis, Osteoarthritis, Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), Heel pain, Planter fasciitis, Myofascial pain, Chronic fatigue pain, Tendonitis, Frozen shoulder, Migraine etc. can all be treated with the help of Agnikarma (Thermal Cautery) treatment.
It is essential to note that Agnikarma therapy should only be performed by trained and experienced practitioners. Like any medical procedure, there may be risks and contraindications, so it is crucial to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to determine if Agnikarma therapy is suitable for your specific condition.
