Agnikarma

Agnikarma is a traditional Ayurvedic para-surgical therapy that uses controlled therapeutic heat on specific points of the body. The procedure is performed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician using an appropriate heated instrument and is traditionally used for managing certain localized pain and musculoskeletal conditions.

At AVPRF Speciality Ayurveda Clinics, Coimbatore, by AVP Research Foundation, Agnikarma is performed after clinical assessment and according to the individual's condition, treatment requirements and Ayurvedic principles.

How Agnikarma Is Performed

The treatment area is first assessed and prepared by the Ayurvedic physician. A suitable point or area is identified according to the patient's condition.

A specially designed instrument is heated and applied briefly and precisely to selected points to provide controlled therapeutic heat. The procedure is performed carefully with appropriate precautions to minimise the risk of excessive tissue injury.

The exact technique, number of applications and treatment intensity depend on the patient's condition and the physician's clinical assessment.
