THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF AGNIKARMA WITH GUD DAGDHA IN FROZEN SHOULDER – A SINGLE CASE STUDY

Abstract

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition marked by stiffness and restricted shoulder movement. It can be correlated with the Avabahuka in Ayurveda. Agnikarma (therapeutic cauterization), using Gud (jaggery) as a medium, presents a safe and effective modality to alleviate pain and improve joint mobility. This study assesses the efficacy of Agnikarma with Gud Dagdha in managing frozen shoulder through clinical observation.
