Abstract Since Ayurveda focuses on promoting health and treating illnesses, it is the timeless gold standard of medicine. Enhancing the health of all people is the goal of medical science. To do this, the pathy must be able to completely eradicate the illness and do it without causing any negative side effects. In Ayurveda, Agni Karma is regarded as the finest for managing and relieving pain. The primary cause of the most prevalent type of heel discomfort is the calcaneal spur. Middle-aged adults are more likely to develop calcaneal spurs, which can cause severe pain, incapacity, and other problems. Agni Karma is applied to sore heels (calcaneal spurs) using an Agni Shalaka, a cautery tool that heats up with fire. Calcaneal spur and Vata Kantaka are associated with Ayurveda medicine. Among the Vata Vyadhi that exist in the Gulpha Sandhi area is Vata Kantak. It is distinguished in Khudak (Heel) by Shool (pain) and Shotha (inflammation). Literature on ayurveda Agni Karma is used to treat Kapha Vata Dushti.
