Introduction
“ No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses” – Albert Einstein
Shalakya Tantram is one among the eight primordial branches of Ayurveda that deals with the diagnosis and management of diseases seated above the region of neck. This relates to the structures present in one of the three most important marmas – the ‘shiras’. The department of Shalakya Tantra, at Ashtamgam, upholds the excellence of treating these diseases of Eye, ENT & head with a precision that is required to handle any ‘shalaka’( a probe used to carry out finer surgeries)
The department, with its team of doctors, stays rooted to the legacy of Ashtamgam and provides the most authentic treatment ever known, in the field of Ayurveda. We provide quality treatment in improving vision in diseases like Refractive errors,Dry eye, conjunctivitis,inflammatory eye diseases like uveitis, Optic neuritis, Corneal opacities, and preventing progression of diseases like Diabetic retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Age related macular diseases and Optic atrophy. Among ENT disorders, we are successfully treating Allergic diseases like allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, migraine, tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy, Deviated nasal septum and Hearing loss, scalp disorders.
In the academic front, the students are moulded to become doctors with the best clinical and academic expertise.
