Agnikarma is an Ayurvedic treatment that involves the use of heat to treat a variety of medical conditions. This technique has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to treat a wide range of ailments, including joint pain, musculoskeletal disorders, skin diseases, and digestive problems.

The Agnikarma procedure involves the use of a special instrument, known as a shalaka or kshara sutra, to apply heat to specific points on the body. The instrument is made of materials such as copper, iron, or brass and is heated until it glows red hot. The glowing tip is then applied to the affected area, causing a localized burn.

The heat generated by Agnikarma has several therapeutic benefits. It stimulates blood flow to the affected area, promotes the production of natural healing agents such as collagen and elastin, and helps to reduce inflammation and swelling.
