We can observe Susruta has explained in detail the importance of Agnikarma, varieties, and criteria of successful cauterization, specific sites, indications, patterns, and pre and post-cautery management. Agnikarma has its Ushna Guna and Sookshma Guna it pacifies the vata and Kapha and burns the unwanted tissue done by the different materials such as Shalaka (gold, silver, panchadhatu, etc), Ajashakrut, Godanta, Madhu, Guda, Sneha (oil, Ghrita).
