ABSTRACT
Shalakya Tantra is a branch of Ayurveda that addresses the Urdhvanga ailment (parts of body located above clavicle bone; eye, ear, nose and throat etc.). The branch primarily uses Shalaka Yantras, which are tools shaped like rods, for therapeutic purposes. The Anushastra Karmas include Kshara Karma and Agni Karma commonly referred to as parasurgical operations. Acharya Shushruta made these notable contributions. These techniques make it simple and comfortable for both the physician and the patient to handle surgical diseases.
