📄 Abstract
Anushastra procedures, including Kshara karma, Agnikarma, and Raktamokshana, are recognized for their immediate and enduring effects. Agnikarma is particularly recommended for conditions characterized by Ruja pradhana, as well as Vata and Kaphaja disorders. The Pancha dhatu shalaka is routinely employed in Agnikarma, regardless of the anatomical structure or severity of the pathology involved. Notably, over 80% of painful conditions are associated with the locomotor system, which encompasses Sandhi, Asthi, Sira, and Snayus. These components are classified as Gambheera dhatus, and the Dahanopakaranas prescribed for ailments in these areas include Snigdha dravyas such as Kshaudra, Guda, Taila, Vasa, and Madhuchista. Snigdha dravyas are characterized by their elevated latent heat and superior percolation properties. Consequently, in cases such as Sciatica, Vertebral disc prolapse, Calcaneal spur, and Tendinitis, the application of Agnikarma using Snigdha dravyas is likely to yield more favourable outcomes compared to other forms of Dahanaopakrana, due to their capacity for deep heat penetration over extended durations.
