So, there is an urgent need for a good symptomatic therapy in case of Osteoarthritis, which in easily available, affordable and with lesser side effects. Agnikarma is instant therapy and as well as economical. There is very less scientific research work carried out on effect of Agnikarma on Janusandhishoola(6).
