When Agni Karma?
When pain is aggravated by Vata in the skin, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and bone Agni Karma can be used.
But it has to be done only if Vaidya is sure that no other methods are working
How did Agni karma work?
- Application of Agni or heat raises the local temperature spontaneously, which leads to dilatation of local blood vessels thus increased tissue perfusion occurs.
- This clears the accumulated metabolic waste which is causing the local inflammation.
- It resolves the inflammation then the pain will be reduced
- Application of high temperature to the tiny focused area and it gets instantly cooled… this activates the nerve impulses and it leads to muscular contraction, thus the pain relief.
