The Department of Shalakya Tantra is a specialized clinical unit dedicated to the comprehensive management of diseases affecting the Netra (Eyes), Karna (Ears), Nasa (Nose), and Kantha (Throat). As one of the eight classical branches of Ayurveda described in the Sushruta Samhita, Shalakya Tantra focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disorders occurring above the clavicle through evidence-based Ayurvedic principles integrated with contemporary diagnostic support.
