Piles (hemorrhoids) affect a large percentage of the population, causing pain, bleeding, itching, and significant discomfort during daily activities. At Ayurom, Dr. Dharmendra Dube provides a comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment that effectively manages piles without surgery in most cases.
Ayurvedic Classification of Piles
Known as Arsha in Ayurveda, piles are classified based on dosha involvement:
- Vata-type: Dry, hard, painful masses with constipation
- Pitta-type: Inflamed, bleeding piles with burning sensation
- Kapha-type: Soft, mucus-coated masses with itching
Treatment Approach
- Kshar Karma: Application of a specially prepared herbal alkaline paste directly to hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink and heal — a highly effective alternative to surgery.
- Internal Herbal Medicines: Formulations including Arshakuthar Ras, Suran Vatak, Abhayarishta, and Nagakesara to reduce pile mass, stop bleeding, and improve digestion.
- Basti Therapy: Medicated enemas to relieve constipation, reduce inflammation, and heal the rectal mucosa.
- Sitz Baths: Warm sitz baths with Triphala decoction to reduce swelling, pain, and promote healing.
- Diet & Lifestyle: High-fiber diet, proper hydration, and lifestyle modifications to address the root cause — chronic constipation and straining.
Results
Most Grade I and Grade II piles respond excellently to conservative Ayurvedic treatment. Even Grade III piles often improve significantly with Kshar Karma. Dr. Dube has treated thousands of piles cases over 27+ years, helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery while achieving lasting relief.
