Agnikarma is the practice of applying Agni, either directly or indirectly, to a patient's body to improve their condition with the aid of various materials. Treatment with Agni's assistance is known as Agnikarma. "Agnikarma" was stated in Sushruta for several ailments pertaining to the arteries, ligaments, joints, muscles, skin, and bones. Agnikarma treatment patients do not have a recurrence of their illness. The Agnikarma technique has been explored with numerous diseases including Arsha, Arbuda, Bhagandara etc. A portion of the body is burned for a longer duration using drugs and tools as part of the traditional Agnikarma therapy using a range of unusual materials called Dahanopakarana, possibly leaving multiple scars from the burns. The field of medicine has advanced to the point where numerous techniques based on the principles of Agnikarma have been developed for the management of various diseases, particularly with pain relief. The traditional devices and techniques based on electromagnetism, ultrasound waves, electrical signals alongwith radiation therapies such as infrared therapy, diathermy have a risk of iatrogenic burns and can produce unsatisfactory outcomes due to temperature fluctuations during the treatment. Therefore, a gadget for improved patient care ought to be conceptualised to get beyond these limits. In this review paper, we address the need for a gadget that combines current technology with the age-old Agnikarma method.
