=== ''Agnikarma'' and its contraindications ===
''Agnikarma'' was performed with the help of ''shalaka'' (rod) made up of ''hema'' (gold) or ''lauha'' (iron). Nowadays a rod made up of ''pancha dhatu'' (mixture of five metals) is utilized for the purpose. The procedure is contra-indicated in ''mandali'' (viper) bites. (A.H.U.36/45)
