Abstract

Background: Vaatakantaka explained in the context of Vatavyadhi, it has been said that when the foot is kept on the uneven ground or placing the foot improperly (while walking) or by over exertion of the foot, Vata localized in the Khudaka (heel region) gets aggravated and produces pain. Sharp stinging pain at the heel of foot which resembles the symptoms of calcaneus spur. All the Ayurvedic classics have given due importance to the Vatavyadhi and especially Shoola Pradhana Vatavyadhi. Among the Anushastra Chikitsa, Agnikarma is gaining acceptance and becoming more popular among Ayurvedic surgeons. The procedure of Agnikarma is very short and gives instant relief. In this study Agnikarma is performed with two different materials in the treatment of Vatakantaka. Hence here is an attempt is made to compare the efficacy of Agnikarma with Panchalohashalaka with Madhuchista in the management of pain in Vatakantaka.
