Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India over 5000 years ago. It advocates for the integration of mind and body and promotes holistic health. The Ayurvedic treatment approach achieves its objectives through lifestyle practices like dietary modification as well as utilizing natural remedies.
Before examining ayurvedic treatment methods for these conditions it is vital to have a clear understanding of what piles fistula, and fissures are, including their causes and symptoms.
Ayurveda associates anorectal conditions like piles with Vata and Pitta imbalances primarily. According to Ayurveda principles, improper dietary habits, poor digestion, and unhealthy lifestyle cause these types of disorders. This is also accompanied by the accumulation of toxins within the body known as Ama.
Treatment Objectives in Ayurveda:
Balancing Doshas: By altering one’s diet through herbal remedies, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications.
Eliminating Toxins: Helps in detoxifying our bodies to dispose Ama while enhancing digestive systems.
Healing Affected Area: Initiate anal and rectal tissue healing using ayurveda, Kasthar-sutra(as if required) treatment along with external therapies.
Preventing Recurrence: Ensure that they do not come back again through lifelong dietary & lifestyle changes.
For purposes of treatment according to Ayurveda; piles are classified into different categories based on dominant dosha involved.
Dietary Recommendations:
In Ayurveda, a diet that supports digestion and prevents constipation which leads to hemorrhoids is highly advised. Patients should eat a lot of food rich in fiber such as fruits, whole grains, cooked vegetables etc. Some specific diets include;
Lighter warm food: Freshly cooked and easily digestible meals that do not strain digestive system at all.
Hydration: Drinking sufficient amount of water. Cutting down caffeine or alcohol which dehydrates one’s body.
Spicy foods: Greatly aggravate Pitta, hence worsen piles.
Ayurveda has been used in the treatment of piles, fistulae and fissures over centuries with an emphasis on aadisatya. Research has shown that ayurvedic therapies especially Kshar Sutra for fistulas are effective in providing long term relief with minimal side effects. The focus on natural cures, dietary changes and lifestyle modification makes the approach by Ayurveda sustainable and patient friendly in dealing with these ailments.
However, it is crucial to get advice from a certified Ayurvedic expert who will take care of your special condition as well as your constitution.
Piles that have persisted long or become chronic call for panchakarma therapy in Ayurveda which includes procedures like virechana (purgation) that cleanses the digestive system thereby restoring balance to it. Other therapies are added into this regime for more effectiveness of the whole process essentially meaning that treatment goes beyond one method only.
