Viddhakarma Therapy
Viddhakarma, also known as Vedhan Chikitsa or Suchivedhana, is an ancient Ayurvedic para-surgical procedure detailed in the Sushruta Samhita. This therapy involves the precise puncturing of specific points on the body to alleviate pain and restore physiological balance.
Understanding Viddhakarma
Rooted in the principles of Ayurveda, Viddhakarma targets the above Marma points —vital energy centers—to release blocked energies and promote healing. By stimulating these points, the therapy aims to correct imbalances in the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), thereby addressing the root causes of various ailments.
