ABSTRACT

Acharya Sushruta, the father of surgery employed fourfold treatment in the management of Arshas. This clearly shows that he did not want to land up for Shastra karma though he was eminent in the field of surgery. If the disease is not amenable to Bheshaja chikitsa then advised to adopting other measures like Kshara Karma, Agni Karma and Shastra Karma. This denotes Sushruta’s therapeutic approach in the light of contemporary knowledge. The disease Arshas is included one among Ashtamahagadas. The disease Arshas can be correlated to Haemorrhoids. Incidence of Haemorrhoids is about 10-15% of all ano-rectal cases. Clinical features includes Bleeding, Mucoid discharge, Pruritis-ani, and Mass per anum. Ksharakarma is a proven para-surgical procedure for the management of Arshas as it is minimal invasive, day care procedure hence highly acceptable by the patients as they have phobia towards surgery.
