Abstract

The description of the disease Arsha in the Ayurvedic literature has similarity with the disease „Haemorrhoids‟. Arsha is a commonest clinical condition, an Ayurvedic practitioner comes across in day to day practice. Haemorrhoids dealt rationally under the concept of Arsha and in this study we are especially dealing with Raktarsha or internal haemorrhoids. Ksharakarma has been indicated for all the variety of Arsha. The repeated advocacy of ksharakarma by almost all the ancient Acharyas have given an inspiration to work on the disease of Arsha with the help of pratisarniya kshara. Ksharakarma intervention was done in the total of 20 patients of internal bleeding haemorrhoids under local anaesthesia. The pile mass and bleeding per anum resolved in 14 days and the patients were relieved from all symptoms within 21 days. The patients were followed up upto 1 month .No complications were reported after the procedure.

Keywords: Raktarsha, Internal haemorrhoids, Tikshana pratisarniya palash kshara, Bleeding per anum, Ksharakarma.
