Abstract

An individual's health relies heavily on their diet and lifestyle. Diet plays a crucial role in conditions like anal fissure (Parikartika), with references dating back to the ancient Sushruta Samhita (1500 B.C.). Anal fissure, accounting for 10-15% of anorectal disorders, causes severe pain during and after defecation, along with bleeding and anal sphincter spasms. It's a common and agonizing condition, often linked to factors such as hard stools, surgical procedures, and diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In treating Parikartika, local remedies like ointments, Ghrita, Taila, and dilatation are employed. This clinical study focuses on the use of Udumbara tail Pichu (Cluster Fig Medicated Oil) as an external application for Parikartika.

Keywords: Parikartika, Fissure in ano, Udumbara tail Pichu, Cluster fig Medicated Oil local Application.
