One of the key sub disciplines of Ayurveda is Shalya Tantra, which contains descriptions of surgical and Parasurgical methods for treating a variety of illnesses. Sushruta is credited with founding surgery. One of these Parasurgical practises is "Agni Karma." A key therapeutic tool in the Ayurvedic medical system, Agnikarma has gained international recognition for its ease of use and effectiveness in treating a wide range of illnesses. In Agni Karma, particular locations are burned therapeutically using specialised equipment. It is a special type of therapy that is carried out with the aid of Agni and has been compared to Ksharkarma in that the diseases it treats do not recur, and moreover, those incurable by drugs (Bheshaja), surgery (Shastra), and caustics (Kshara) succumb to it. Sushruta gave Agni Karma a prominent place in surgery, and it is said that diseases cured by Agni Karma never recur.
