Ignipuncture
Ignipuncture is a medical procedure that involves the use of heat to puncture or perforate a part of the body. This technique is often used in the treatment of various health conditions, such as cysts, abscesses, and tumors.
Procedure[edit]
The procedure of ignipuncture involves the use of a heated instrument to puncture a specific part of the body. The heat helps to sterilize the area and reduce the risk of infection. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Applications[edit]
