अग्नि��कर्म� Agnikarma
The procedure performed by using the Agni (HEAT) to cure the various disorders is known as Agnikarma.
The therapeutic use of agni is described as Agnikarma. In Sushrut samhita sutra sthan chapter .12
Acharya Sushrut included this in the Anushastra i.e. parasurgical procedures.
Agnikarma could be correlated to thermal cauterization.
Why Agnikarma ???

1. Valaya (circular )
2. Bindu (pointed) .3. Bilekha (straight )

इतरथा / प्रमाद दग्ध Etartha / pramad dagdha
इतरथा द�धयिर्मपित प्रकारान्तरेण वैद्यादृते (su.su. 12/15) प्रर्मादाद्द�धर्म् | तत्रेत्याठिद द्रव्यं न्धिस्��धं सर्पिपंराठिद, रूकं्ष द्रव्यं काष्ठपाषाणलोष्टाठिद
( Dalhan comm.)
When person got burn accidently that is different from the Agnikarma described earlier is called etartha or pramad dagdha i.e. burn injury.
It is of two types Wet and dry. Acharya stated that wet burn is more painful than dry because in wet
burn latent heat penetrates deeper & damages the tissues of body.
Types of Agnidagdha (burn injury)

The affected part become different in color from skin along with very severe burning sensation.
Condition almost similar to first degree burn.
दुद�ग्ध
यत्रोणिNष्ठन्तिन्त स्फोटास्तीव्राश्चोषदाहरागपाकवेद�ाणिश्चराच्चोपशाम्यन्तिन्त तद्ददु��धं; (su.su.12/16)

सम्यक दग्ध
सम्य�द�धर्म�वगाढं तालवणc सुसंस्थि6तं पूव�लक्षणयुकं्त च (su.su.12/16)
The burn injury which is not too deep neither very superficial , having color like Asian palm fruit (taal phal varna), tissues remains on their own site and having other sign symptoms described earlier.
This is not considered as injury when performed for the therapeutic purpose. If the above sign and symptoms occurs that indicate the perfect Agnikarma.

(su.su.12/16) The injury affecting the whole tissue as skin subcutaneous
tissue, muscles , vessels , tendons, ligaments and exposing to other deeper structure.
The patients having high grade fever, burning pain, increase thirst, syncope and other features of dehydration.

Management of Agnidagdha (BURN)

” तस्र्मात् सुखयपित ह्युष्णं � तु शीतं कथञ्च� (su.su.12/21)
Acharya Sushrut mentioned warm medicine for the local application as well as internal medication.
Why warm ???...
Superficial burn
Injury causes water loss from that area
Blood concentration increases
Application of Cold
Coagulation of blood in vessels
Reduced blood supply of that area
Delayed healing
May leading to Necrosis
दुद�ग्ध चि�तिकत्सा शीतार्मुष्णां च दुद��धे पिvयां कुया�जिद्भषक् पु�ः |
घृतालेप�सेकांस्तु शीता�ेवास्य कारयेत् || (su.su.12/22)
Acharya Sushrut mentioned both warm and cold medication for this type of burn injury.
Acharya Dalhan commented on this explaining that for the deep burn internal medicine with cold active principle should be used and if burn injury is superficial then medicine with the warm active principle should be used.
But for the external application only cold application should be used.
Burn injury ( Durdagdha )
Internal medication external medication
Deep - cold cold

used in post agnikarma procedure for local as well as internal medication.
Acharya Sushruta added that if person dosen’t get relief from above medicine that surgeon should follow the line of treatment like abscess.
Acharya Sushrut stated lot of medicine for the treatment of abscess , in which most of them are having pittashamak property.
Paste of तुगाक्षीरी ( Tugakshiri ), प्लक्ष Plaksha, Chandan, amrita & Gairik with Gritha can be used as ointment for local application.
Paste of flesh of some animals like horse, pig etc may also be used as lepa /ointment for local application.
If there is continuous burning sensation then line of treatment should be same as Pittaj Vridhadhi .
In treatment of pittaj vidradhi Acharya sushrut mention piitashamak medicine for internal as well as local application , incision and drainage on suppuration, leave it for healing with secondary intension.
Karanjadi ghrita for enhanching wound healing. Madhuchisth ghrita prepared by processing of wax (र्मोर्म,) in ghrit

As per acharya Sushrut atidadagdha is similar to advanced third / fourth degree
burn , management included surgical removal of dead tissue followed by medical
treatment by above mentioned drugs as local application. Acharya sushrat indicated
to avoid bandages on affected part , the area should be covered with wet guduchi,
kamal patra etc. the rest of treatment should be same as pittaj visarp ( erysipelas) .
Gauryadi ghrita for local application.
Line of treatment Remove the dead/ burn tissue surgically
Local application of drugs mentioned in text
Covering the area with wet leaves of guduchi & lotus
Treatmentof Visarp (erysipelas )
Medical treatment to improve healing and prevent complication
Beside these dagdha condition acharya sushrut aslo mentioned some other heat injuries as dhomoghat ( person traped in fire/ asphyxia due to smoke) and ushna vat (heat stroke) .
Treatment of dhomaghat includes vaman, kaval-grah, siro-virechana followed by laghu and snigdha diet.
Current Practice of Agnikarma
Now days the agnikarma shalaka got the modification as the heat source is electricity.
This shalaka have different shape of probes for the specific use.

Current Practice of Agnikarma Now days there is list of common ailments where Agnikarma is very much effective Sciatica pain Mechanical back pain Peri-arthritis shoulder joint Frozen shoulder Osteoarthritis knee joint in early stage Cervical pain Tennis elbow Plantar fasciitis Planter Corn Viral warts
Sciatica pain
Peri-arthritis shoulder joint
Mech. Back pain
Early OA of knee joint
Plantar fasciitis / painful heal
Cervical pain
Tennis elbow
viral wart
plantar corn
Common problems with therapy
1. Patient’s consent.
2. Scar formation.
3. Recurrence
4. Needs skill to perform
5. Burn injury
Mode of Action of Agnikarma
वातादृते �ास्विस्त रुजा � पाकःपिपNादृते �ास्विस्त कफाच्च पूयः | (su.su. 17/12)
The diseases in which Agnikarma is indicated are due to vitiation of vata and kapha, so Agnikarma is considered as better therapy to pacify these dohas. Due to Ushan, Sukshma, thekshna and Ashukari guna of Agni , it pacifies vitiated vata and kapha dosha.
As per Acharya Sushrut basically anginkarm is used in two manner i.e. one for रोग उन्मूलन (diseases cure) and other for pain management.
First for the diseases cure we used is it in the assistance with surgery and for pain control we use it independently.
Mode of Action of Agnikarma
Application of Agni ( heat)
Raised Local temperature
Dilatation of local blood vessels
Increased tissue perfusion
Clearance of accumulated metabolic waste
Resolve inflammation
Reduces pain
Mode of Action of Agnikarma
Application of Agni ( heat)
Raised Local temperature
Dilatation of local blood vessels
Efficient tissue perfusion
Prompt Clearance of local inflammatory mediators
Resolve inflammation
Reduces pain
Application of Agni ( heat)
Increased local temperature
Raised local BMR
Enhances perfusion
Efficient delivery of oxygen
Ischemia and degeneration related Tissue injury healed due to better blood perfusion
Mode of Action of Agnikarma
Application of heat
Stimulation of DPI (Descending pain inhibiting mechanism)
Stimulation of CNS
Release of endogenous opioids in Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) cells in the arcuate nucleus &
in the brainstem( eg. Endomorphins, dynorphins etc)
Reduces pain
Mode of Action of Agnikarma
Gate control theory of pain
The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input closes the "gates" to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system. Therefore, stimulation by non-noxious input is able to suppress pain.
