Agnikarma

Agnikarma is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that uses controlled heat to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and heal chronic joint and muscle conditions. It is a safe and effective alternative to painkillers and surgery, especially for people suffering from long-standing pain or stiffness.

This therapy is performed by gently applying a heated metal tool (called Shalaka) to specific points on the body. The heat helps to remove toxins, improve blood circulation, and relax muscles. At Charaka Ayurveda Asramam, our expert Ayurvedic doctors use precise techniques to deliver this treatment with care and comfort.

How Does It Work?
