About the Department

Department of Shalya Tantra The Department of Shalya Tantra deals with the surgical branch of Ayurveda, focusing on the management of diseases that require operative and para-surgical interventions.

Specialized treatment is provided for Arsha (piles), Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano), Nadivrana (pilonidal sinus), and other ano-rectal disorders using Kshara Karma and Kshara Sutra therapy. Conditions such as Kadara (corn foot), Vatakantaka (heel pain), Charmakeela (warts and skin tags), Avabahuka (frozen shoulder), Katigraha(IVDP and back pain)and Tennis Elbow are treated through Agnikarma and Marma Chikitsa.

Jaloukavacharana (leech therapy) is performed for certain skin diseases and non-healing ulcers. In addition, treatment is undertaken for Gastrointestinal disorders, Bhagna (fractures), Siragranthi (varicose veins), and Mutra Ashmari (urinary calculi).
