Agnikarma, a therapeutic heat burn procedure in Ayurveda, works by applying controlled heat to produce a "Samyaka Dagdha Vrana" (therapeutic burn), which, through its "Ushna" (heat) and other properties, counteracts vitiated Vata and Kapha doshas, improves blood circulation, and stimulates pain-inhibiting mechanisms.
Here's a more detailed explanation of the mode of action:

1. Counteracting Vata and Kapha Imbalances:
Ayurvedic Principles:
Agnikarma is considered effective for pacifying aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas, which are believed to be the root cause of many ailments, especially musculoskeletal pain.
Ushna Guna:
The "Ushna" (heat) property of Agnikarma is opposite to the "Sheetaguna" (cold) of Vata, and it also counteracts the "Ruksha" (dry) and "Laghu" (light) properties of Kapha.
Srotorodha:
Agnikarma helps to remove blockages in the channels (Srotas) of the body, which can occur due to the accumulation of vitiated doshas.

2. Enhancing Blood Circulation and Tissue Metabolism:
Rasa Rakta Samvahana:
The therapeutic heat of Agnikarma increases blood circulation to the affected area, which helps to flush out pain-producing substances and deliver essential nutrients to the tissues.
Dhatvagni:
The heat also enhances the digestive fire (Dhatvagni), promoting proper metabolism and digestion of "Amapa" (improperly digested food).

3. Pain Management through Neuro-Physiological Mechanisms:
Gate Control Theory:
Some researchers suggest that Agnikarma may work by stimulating the "A" (large) nerve fibers, which can inhibit the transmission of pain signals through the "C" (small) nerve fibers, a mechanism known as the "Gate Control Theory".

Endorphin Release:
Agnikarma may also stimulate the release of endogenous opioids (endorphins) in the brain, which have pain-relieving effects.
Inflammation Reduction:
Improved blood circulation and tissue metabolism can help to reduce inflammation and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

4. Other Potential Mechanisms:
Tissue Regeneration:
Agnikarma may promote tissue regeneration and healing by stimulating the body's natural repair mechanisms.

Elimination of Degenerated Tissues:
The therapeutic heat may help to eliminate degenerated and necrotic tissues, contributing to the resolution of chronic pain and joint problems.
Osteophyte Weakening:
Agnikarma may weaken osteophytes (bone spurs) and reduce nerve compression, leading to pain relief in conditions like osteoarthritis.
