Abstract

Introduction: In Surgical branch of Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta has described Shastrakarma, and Anushastra Karma in detail along with its indications. As per Sushruta, Kshar is superior than Shastra and Anushastra karma because of its properties like Chhedya, Bhedya, Lekhya (i.e., excision, cutting, scrapping, mitigates) and Tridoshaghna (decreases vitiated Doshas). Kshar is an alkaline caustic obtained from the ashes of medicinal plants. It is milder procedure compared to surgery and thermal cautery. It is versatile, because even such places that are difficult in approach by ordinary measure can be used safely on the patients who are afraid of surgery. Methodology: It will be a prospective conceptual study in which objective were formulated for reduction of pile mass(Arsha)comparising of total 60 patients randomly allocated in two groups(30 in each group). In group A (n=30), application of Palashkshar takes place over diagnosedwith 2nd and 3rd degree haemorrhoid(Arsha), In group B (n=30), application of Arkakshar takes place over diagnosedwith 2nd and 3rd degree haemorrhoid(Arsha). After procedure observation will be done on both group during follow up on 7th and 14th day. A standard case record form will be used for data collection. Thus the effect of Palashkshar and Arkakshar application on Arsha will be established at the end of this clinical trial.
