Piles Ayurvedic Treatment


Ayurvedic treatment for piles (hemorrhoids) focuses on natural remedies and lifestyle adjustments to alleviate symptoms and promote healing. It aims to balance the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and uses a combination of herbal medications, dietary changes, and specific therapies.

Common Ayurvedic Treatments for Piles

  1. Herbal Remedies:

    • Triphala: A combination of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki) that helps in bowel regulation and acts as a mild laxative.
    • Haritaki: Known for its laxative properties, it helps in reducing constipation.
    • Aloe Vera: Used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Arshkalp Vati: An Ayurvedic formulation specifically designed to treat piles.
  2. Kshar Sutra Therapy:

    • A minimally invasive procedure involving the use of a medicated thread to treat hemorrhoids and fistulas. The thread is tied around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off blood supply, which leads to the shrinkage and eventual falling off of the hemorrhoid.
  3. Dietary Changes:

    • High-Fiber Diet: Including foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to soften the stool and prevent constipation.
    • Hydration: Drinking plenty of water to keep stools soft and reduce straining during bowel movements.
  4. Lifestyle Adjustments:

    • Regular Exercise: To promote healthy bowel movements and improve digestion.
    • Avoiding Strain: During bowel movements to prevent aggravation of hemorrhoids.
    • Warm Sitz Baths: To soothe the anal area and reduce discomfort.
  5. Topical Applications:

    • Sesame Oil: Used to lubricate and soothe the anal area.
    • Turmeric Paste: Applied for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
