Abstract

Aushadha, Shastra, Kshar and Agni are line of treatment of Arsha/haemorrhoids according to the Sushruta. Though abhyantar aushadha is important for treatment of Arsha, yet it has a limited scope. Shastrakarma also comes up with complication of incontinence and Agni karma is carrying fear in the patients mind hence the local application of Kshar for treatment of haemorrhoids is carrying great importance as per gradation of Haemorrhoids. Both in terms of patient convenience and result. Though modern medicine has their own suppositories like fensupp®, Corect® yet they carries lot of adverse drug reaction hence in order to find out cheap, easily available effective, with minimum or no side effect and patient convenient drug. When I went through Ayurveda classics and I found that Haridradi GUDA VARTI (ANAL SUPPOSITORY)7 mentioned by Charak in Arsha (chikitsa chapter 14) is very close to satisfying all the above mentioned criteria. Which contains Haridra (curcuma longa) and snuhi kshir (euphorbia neriifolia) and which is to be applied locally hence I have decided to do work on it.
