A STUDY ON GUGGULU-ARKA KSHARASUTRA PREPARATION
Dr. Amal Thomas*, Dr. Rajneesh V. Giri and Dr. Aswin Haridas
Abstract
Kshara is considered superior to all surgical and Para surgical
measures, because they perform the work of incision, puncture, and
scarification to relieve derangements of the Tridosha and uniformly
affect the diseased part to which they are applied. Ksharasutra is
explained in the treatment of Nadi vrana chikitsa and is well known for
the treatment of Bhagandara. Use of Ksharasutra in fistulous tract
makes kshara capable of dissolving the tough fibrous tissue and
ultimately draining it out the tract and creating a healthy base for
healing. Materials used for preparation of ksharasutra are Guggulu,
Arka Kshara, Haridra powder, Thread Linen Barbour No.20 were
followed as per norms and sutras were made.
Keywords: Bhagandara, Fistula in Ano, Guggulu-Arka Ksharasutra, Ksharasutra.
