Conceptual view on Arsha and its Management through Ayurveda Prospective

Abstract

Arsha is a Tridoshaj disease caused by the production of Mandagni and Ama. It affects people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. According to Ayurvedic theory, the aetiology of Arsha is mostly linked to the patient's Mandagni. Sedentary behaviour, irregular bowel habits, low-fiber diet, and continuous straining are only a few of the major culprits. Virudhdha-adhyashana, Utkatashana, and Samudirna vega vinigrahata are some of the variables that contribute to Mandagni, according to Ayurveda. While the illness is beyond therapy, it does have its own issues, such as excessive bleeding, oedema, and thrombosis, which cause severe discomfort and make it impossible for the patient to complete his daily tasks. Patients with chronic constipation or diarrhoea strain during faeces, causing pathological varicosity of the haemorrhoidal veins as a result of the increased pressure on veins. Impaired dietary habits, changing lifestyles, genes, and pregnancies are all common causes of pile. It is one of the most common ano-rectal disorders, affecting up to 50% of the population between the ages of 40 and 50. The therapy of Arsha (Piles) in Ayurveda is based on the chronicity and presentation of the condition. There are four therapeutic techniques for Arsha management, with Bheshaj Chikitsa and Kshara Karma Chikitsa showing excellent outcomes
