Agni Karma
Agni Karma
Agni Karma is a unique and highly effective Ayurvedic para-surgical technique that involves the controlled application of therapeutic heat to treat various musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions. Derived from the Sanskrit words “Agni” (fire) and “Karma” (action), Agni Karma uses heat energy to balance the doshas, especially Vata and Kapha, and remove localized toxins from affected areas.
This ancient procedure is commonly used to manage conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, frozen shoulder, heel pain (calcaneal spur), plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, sciatica, and certain types of cysts or benign growths. It is especially beneficial for chronic pain management when conventional treatments fail to provide long-term relief.
During the procedure, a heated metal instrument—typically made of Panchadhatu (a five-metal alloy)—is briefly applied to the skin at specific therapeutic points. The heat penetrates deep into the tissues, improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, relieving stiffness, and promoting tissue repair.
Agni Karma is:
Minimally invasive
Quick and effective
Safe with no significant side effects
Results in immediate pain relief in many cases
At Ayush Ayurveda, Dr. S. Ujjaini Devi performs Agni Karma with utmost precision and care, following classical Ayurvedic protocols. The procedure is done in a sterile environment using customized tools, ensuring safety, hygiene, and comfort for the patient.
Pre-procedure assessments are conducted to determine the suitability of the therapy, and post-procedure care includes herbal applications, dietary guidelines, and gentle physiotherapy if required.
Agni Karma is not just a physical treatment—it stimulates the body’s innate healing response and harmonizes energy flow. It represents Ayurveda’s deep understanding of pain mechanisms and offers a powerful, natural alternative to painkillers, steroids, or surgery.
Whether you suffer from chronic joint pain or acute musculoskeletal discomfort, Agni Karma at Ayush Ayurveda can offer fast, sustainable relief and improve your quality of life.
