Sushruta mentioned Kshara Karma prior to Agni and Shastra Karma as treatment modalities for Arshas.[1] The disease that can’t be cured by any other medicine or in subjects where surgery is not possible this parasurgical procedure of Kshara Karma is effective.

Subjects under Group A were treated with Saptacchada Pratisaraniya Kshara Karma, while Group B were treated by Apamarga Pratisaraniya Kshara Karma. The study showed that Group A and Group B are equally effective. The treatment modalities of Saptacchada Pratisaraniya Kshara Karma and Apamarga Pratisaraniya Kshara Karma are equally efficacious in treating Arshas.
