About the Department
Shalakya Tantra is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, known as Ashtanga Ayurveda, which deals with disorders affecting regions above the clavicle—mainly the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat. The name 'Shalakya' comes from the traditional use of specialized probes (Shalaka) in treatment.
