ROLE OF AGNIKARMA THERAPY IN
Kadara (corn) is initially painless in condition but with
its progress it may become painful. In modern science, corn is being
treated by using anti inflammatory drugs, corn cap, saliciylic acid and
excision. But even today there is no satisfactory and permanent
treatment available for corn because of its high recurrence tendency.
According to Ayurveda, 'Kadara' can be correlated with the condition of
'corn'. Aacharya Sushrut has advised Agnikarma (cauterization) for
Kadara. Hence, in this study corn (Kadara) was treated by Agnikarma with
Panchadhatu Shalaka (instrument made of 5 metals) in a systematic
manner for a duration of 15 days with intervals of 5 days in 3 sittings.
Here, we have applied two types of Agnikarma. i.e. Pratisaran (flat
type of cauterization) and Bindu (dotted type of cauterization) which
were used in combination with application of Tilatailam (sesame oil) for
better results. This combination therapy provided cured management
which is observed in the present case study. The patient was followed
upto 6 months for observation of recurrence.
