Abstract

Haemorrhoid is caused by increased pressure and abnormal dilatation of the hemorrhoidal vascular plexus. Today it remains the most common anorectal disorder and more than half of people will at some point develop symptomatic haemorrhoids. Various management strategies need to be considered to ensure the success of therapy and improve the quality of life of patients with internal haemorrhoids. Kshara Karma is a unique, minimally invasive procedure in Ayurveda mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. A 54-year-old female admitted with a complaint of bleeding per anus and was diagnosed as Internal haemorrhoid and underwent Kshara Karma with no complications.
