“Firing is a “traditional treatment, usually for leg injuries, now dying out in the face of claims that it is cruel. Skin over the flexor tendons, splints, fetlock and knee joints, ringbone or curbs is burned with red-hot iron.

Page 13: Agnikarma (An Ancient Ayurvedic Therapy) - Benefits, Indications and Procedures

From the dawn of history, man admired fire and its power. Ancient cultures, especially the Persians, worshipped fire.

Cautery is called Kaiy in Arabic. The prophet Mohammed (PBUH) did not forbid cautery but

discouraged the use of fire for treatment. The surgical book, Al-Tasrfi liman ‘ajaza’ an al-ta’lif written by

the Arab Andalusian surgeon, Abul Qasim Al Zahrawi (Albucasis d. 1013 A.D) recommended cautery.

The Arab cautery is similar in concept to the Chinese old therapy of “Moxabustion.

The treatment of disease by the use of counter – irritants, such as blistering and scarification, is as old as medicine and is documented as far back as ancient Egypt. Cauterization of wounds and ulcers also has a long tradition.

The use of cauterization as a counter-irritant in joint disease appears to be much more recent. According to Jame Syme (1862) it was introduced in Great Britain about 1830.

All chemical changes are accompanied by the absorption or release of heat. The intimate connection between matter and energy has been a source of wonder and speculation from the most primitive times; it is no accident that fire was considered one of the four basic elements (along with earth, air, and water) as early as the fifth century BC.
