==== Indications and contraindications of agnikarma (cauterization) in various disorders ====
''Agni karma'' (cauterization by application of heat) is used as precaution for excessive bleeding ulcers, excision of hanging flesh, ''kaphaja granthi'' (enlarged gland due to ''kapha''), goitre and in stiffness (associated with ''vata'') etc. ''Agnikarma'' has ''ushna guna'' (hot property) which is opposite to ''vata'' and ''kapha''. Due to heat, vasodilation leads to alleviation of ''srotorodha'' resulting in proper vascularity to organ or part. ''Dahakarma'' (cauterization) causes constriction of blood vessels so prevents bleeding from ulcer. [ ] Cauterization is performed with the help of many substances like unctuous or ununctous substances etc by many ways e.g. Small spot (''bindu''), shape of ring (''valaya'') etc depending on nature of disease, strength of patient and time of application.
