SUPERIORITY OF AGNIKARMA
What the drug will not cure, the knife will cure!!!
What the knife will not cure, the cautery will cure!!!
What the cautery will not cure, must be considered incurable!!?
The Hippocratic Text of Aphorism
“Firing is a “traditional treatment, usually for leg injuries, now dying out in the face of claims that it is cruel. Skin over the flexor tendons, splints, fetlock and knee joints, ringbone or curbs is burned with red-hot iron. Penetration varies from superficial to underlying tissues and causes scar tissue to form, hardening the area; carried out under general or local anaesthesia.
(western criteria)
ABOUT CAUTERIZATION …!
From the dawn of history, man admired fire and its power. Ancient cultures, especially the Persians, worshipped fire.
Cautery is called Kaiy in Arabic. The prophet Mohammed (PBUH) did not forbid cautery but
discouraged the use of fire for treatment. The surgical book, Al-Tasrfi liman ‘ajaza’ an al-ta’lif written by
the Arab Andalusian surgeon, Abul Qasim Al Zahrawi (Albucasis d. 1013 A.D) recommended cautery.
The Arab cautery is similar in concept to the Chinese old therapy of “Moxabustion.
ANCIENT VIEW OF AGNI
The treatment of disease by the use of counter – irritants, such as blistering and scarification, is as old as medicine and is documented as far back as ancient Egypt. Cauterization of wounds and ulcers also has a long tradition.
The use of cauterization as a counter-irritant in joint disease appears to be much more recent. According to Jame Syme (1862) it was introduced in Great Britain about 1830.
THE ACTUAL CAUTERY
FINAL REMEDY IN CAUTERY
Cautery is the last mode of therapy or cautery is the final remedy” is an ancient Arab saying or proverb.
BEST IN GOLD
“A cautery is best made of gold”. Al Zahrawi.
BEST REMEDY AND BEST METAL
All chemical changes are accompanied by the absorption or release of heat. The intimate connection between matter and energy has been a source of wonder and speculation from the most primitive times; it is no accident that fire was considered one of the four basic elements (along with earth, air, and water) as early as the fifth century BC.

INDICATIONS
In Physics and thermodynamics, heat is energy transferred from one body or thermodynamic system to another due to thermal contact when the systems are at different temperatures. It is also often described as the process of transfer of energy between physical entities.
WHAT IS HEAT?
The human body can easily absorb far-infrared heat because of its deep penetrating abiliinfrared waves can actually penetrate up to 2-3 inches deep into muscular tissue and Ligaments.
When far infrared heat penetrates through the skin into muscular tissue and ligaments, it energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood dilate which improves blood circulation and promotes healing and wellness.
