Agnikarma – Ancient Healing for Modern Pain

Agnikarma, an ancient Ayurvedic treatment, offers a powerful and effective solution for chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders. By using therapeutic heat application, Agnikarma helps to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore balance in the affected area—without the need for medication or invasive surgery.

Unlike conventional heat therapy, Agnikarma penetrates deeper layers of tissue, targeting the root cause of pain and inflammation at the doshic level (Vata, Pitta and Kapha imbalance).

Agnikarma is highly effective in managing a wide range of orthopaedic, neurological and soft tissue disorders, including:

  • Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine)
  • Cervical and Lumbar Spondylosis
  • Sciatica / Gridhrasi
  • Frozen Shoulder / Avabahuka
  • Tennis Elbow / Elbow Tendinitis
  • Heel Pain / Plantar Fasciitis
  • Joint stiffness & muscle spasms

  • Preparation - The target area is cleaned, marked, and prepped. Pain-relieving herbal oils may be applied.
  • Heat Application - Using a heated Panchadhatu Shalaka or modern probe, the practitioner applies thermal energy to the skin in a controlled pattern (bindu, vilekha or vardhamana).
  • Post-Procedure Care - Cooling herbs, soothing oils or medicated dressings are used to calm the area and promote healing.
