Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Agnikarma, an ancient para surgical modality is lauded for its multifaceted results. Foremost written record of the utility of heat therapy in squashing ailments was found in Ancient Ayurvedic treatises. An alarming downfall in practice of this modality has been noted in Buddhism period, but of late, it is gaining popularity. Ayurvedic Postgraduate institutions are conducting researches on various indications of Agnikarma cited by Sushruta. 160 research works are being reported across India among various institutions targeted mainly on musculoskeletal ailments. There is enormous scope for researchers on Agnikarma and a number of indications are yet to be tested through clinical studies.
