Abstract

Parikartika is a prevalent anorectal condition. Typically, we liken Parikartika to anal fissures. It is an extremely painful issue. In Ayurvedic literature, Parikartika is not categorized as an independent disease but as a consequence of various Ayurvedic practices including vaman, virechana, and basti, as well as complications arising from certain conditions like Arsh, Atisar, and Grahani. The well-being of a person is influenced by their diet, the environment, and their lifestyle choices. In today’s world, lifestyle-related ailments such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and obesity are impacting a significant portion of the global population. Anorectal disorders like anal fissures and hemorrhoids can be viewed as issues stemming from poor eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle practices.
