ABSTRACT
The Shalakya Tantra is an Ayurvedic stream that addresses Urdhwajatru issues (body parts above the collarbone, such as the eye, ear, nose, and throat, among others). For therapeutic purposes, the branch mostly uses Shalaka Yantras, which devices are shaped like rods. Modern science indicates that there is a correlation between this stream and ophthalmology and E.N.T. Numerous Chikitsas are involved in Shalakya tantra, such as Karna-Chikitsa, Nethra-Chikitsa, Mukharoga-Chikitsa, Shiroroga-Chikitsa, and Nasa-Chikitsa, among others. Shalakya Tantra-related literature is covered by the Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, and Ashtanga Hrudaya. According to contemporary science, this modality can be used to treat a variety of pathological conditions, including allergies, cataracts, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, ear infections, and nasal issues. The Shalakya Tantra, a traditional Ayurvedic text, describes surgical and para-surgical techniques for treating disorders of the ear, eyes, nose, throat, and other body parts. This article explained the Shalakya Tantra's general therapeutic methods in accordance with traditional Ayurveda.
