Agni Karma अग्नि कर्म
Precise thermal cautery at pain points for chronic pain and inflammation
A heated metal probe is touched briefly to specific points around a chronic pain site. Quick, and often strikingly effective where pain has resisted everything else.
Traditionally used for
- Chronic localised pain
- Heel spur and plantar fasciitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Osteoarthritis pain
When this therapy should not be done
- Pitta-dominant conditions with heat
- Bleeding disorders
- Pregnancy
- Diabetes with poor healing
- Anaemia
Tell us about any of these at the consultation. We will suggest something else that suits you.
Before you come
- Consultation and assessment of the point
After the session
- Keep the site dry for 24 hours
- Apply the prescribed ghee if advised
