        abstract = {Agnikarma is one of the best treatment modality in Ayurveda for vaat vyadhi . As traditional agnikarma gives feeling of burn ,sudden shock ,which produces fear in patients ,it makes it less convincing. 
 If we change agnikarma methodology we can do agnikarma without sudden trauma. In indirect agnikarma we do agnikarma holding shalaka by artery forcep and transfer heat indirectly by candle holding at distal end of shalaka. This slow heat conduction method takes 5 to 10 secs to give samyak agnikarma lakshanas. Eventually we are doing agnikarma without changing basic concept of agnikarma. Samprapti bhanga is done by both methods. 
Here I am doing comparative study of two methodologies in patients of cervical spondylosis.
After clinical evaluation of 30 patients I have concluded that both methodologies can give 100% improvement in patients of cervical spondylosis.
Hence we can replace direct agnikarma method with indirect agnikarma method.},
