Agnikarma is an ancient therapeutic technique in Ayurveda that involves the controlled application of heat to specific points on the body using a heated instrument, often a metal rod or probe. This procedure is employed to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including joint pain, arthritis, and certain skin ailments. It is believed to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain by balancing the underlying dosha imbalances in the affected area.
