Piles Treatment in Ayurveda at Haritha Ayurveda: A Natural Cure

Piles are present in the area of the body called rectum, mostly identified as vein that get swelled up. Sometimes piles occur inside, and sometimes they can also be outside of the rectum. The hemorrhoids present inside are known as internal piles, and those present outside are called external piles. The symptoms include pain while passing stool, burning or itching near your anal area, bowel movements that has blood, presence of lump near your anus, discomfort while sitting.

Different factors can lead to piles. The major reason behind piles today is the sedentary lifestyle that results in constipation and poor gut health. Moreover, several long sitting hours, chronic diarrhea, and stress can also contribute to the recurrence of piles. Sometimes piles may also occur during or after pregnancy.

Ayurveda's Perspective on Hemorrhoids

In Ayurveda, piles are known as Arsha. The principle of Ayurveda believes that when the doshas of our body get imbalanced, then piles occur. The main doshas responsible for hemorrhoids are Vata and Pitta. When Agni or fire that regulates digestion is disturbed, it can form piles or Arsha. Ayurveda not only treats the symptoms but also diagnoses and cures the root cause of hemorrhoids. That's what makes Ayurveda the most demanded treatment for hemorrhoids.

So at Haritha Ayurveda, we offer you a customized treatment plan based on your Prakriti and the types of piles that you are dealing with. We also help you make some major changes in your lifestyle to ensure a disease-free life.

Types of Piles that are Treated in Ayurveda

As per Ayurveda, the years old science, Arsha or piles can be classified as follows: Vataja arsha, Pitaja and Kaphaja Arsha: To make diagnosis more detailed, this approach is followed. Here, the piles and its causes depend on the type of imbalanced Dosh.

1. Rakta Arsha: Rakta Arsha means bleeding piles. In this, the veins get inflamed, and leads to the formation of a lump that bleeds while passing the stools. This can lead to excessive blood loss if not treated in time.

2. Sushka Arsha: Sushka Arsha are the dry piles that can be painful but do not bleed. If it is due to Vata dosha, then it is called Vataja. If the reason for piles is an imbalanced pit, then it is called Pitaja. And if the piles are occurring due to an imbalance of Kapha, then it is called Kaphaja Arsha.

Different types of piles require different plans of treatment. Therefore, treatment always, we always recommend a reputed center for treating any ailment with the help of Ayurveda. At Haritha, our Ayurveda doctors do not set the same line of treatment for every piles patient, but our treatment plans are customized personally based on the types of piles and the individual situation.

At our center, our goal is not only to cure the piles but also to restore the imbalance and improve gut health and purify the whole body to ensure long-term relief without any side effects or any kind of surgery. Our holistic treatment includes the following:

1. A detailed consultation and diagnosis: The most important thing that a good Ayurvedic center like ours does is a proper diagnosis. Our diagnosis includes pulse diagnosis, also known as Nadi Pariksha, and Prakriti analysis, which identifies the body type. We carefully listen to your symptoms, try to understand your lifestyle, and identify the problem by diagnosing the exact Tosa imbalance. This is how we prepare the treatment’s base.

2. Herbal medicines: We do not believe in synthetic medicines or a combination of modern and Ayurvedic drugs. We purely believe in healing you naturally with minimal to no side effects. Our medicines include time-tested Ayurvedic herbs that help in controlling and stopping bleeding, improving digestion, shrinking the mass of piles, healing the gut health internally, and also preventing the recurrence of piles.

Some of the commonly advised herbs that are usually included in our treatment plans are Haritaki which helps in regulating the bowel movement, Triphala that helps to cleanse the colon easily without stressing the digestive system, Kutaj that helps in controlling bleeding and diarrhea in the case of bleeding piles, Neem and Turmeric that helps in controlling and reducing the inflammation.

All the medicines are formulated naturally under the guidance of our expert and experienced Ayurvedic practitioners.

3. Kshar Karma: There are many cases in which the piles are stubborn and recur after a time. For this, we often use an alkaline therapy, which is known as Kshar Karma. It is a small, invasive Ayurvedic technique in which herbal alkaline paste is applied to the mass of the piles. It reduces inflammation, swelling, and cuts off the supply of blood to the pile. This helps the pile to fall off without any pain. This is a safe and very effective alternative to the surgical methods used in modern medicine.

4. Panchakarma Therapies: Another effective method that we use in treating piles is Panchakarma. Panchakarma is a blend of five Ayurvedic therapies that help in detoxification and gaining deeper imbalance of the doshas.

• Basti: Basti is a medicated type of enema that is given in Ayurveda to clean the colon and balance vata dosha, which helps in reducing the symptoms and curing piles.
• Virechana: This is a method of therapeutic purgation that helps in the removal of toxins and flushing out the excess pitta, helping in the cure of piles.
• Abhyanga: This is a method of therapeutic purgation that helps in the removal of toxins and flushing out the excess pitta, helping in the cure of piles. Panchakarma not only helps in treating the pile, but it also helps in cleaning the gut completely, therefore ensuring a full detox and rejuvenation.

5. Lifestyle Guidance and Diet: Our treatment plan not only depends upon the medicines and therapies, but it also offers proper guidance on diet and lifestyle. During the treatment, our Ayurvedic practitioners and nutritionists will provide you with a proper diet chart depending on your body type and the severity of the illness, and some modifications in your lifestyle will also be recommended to help in preventing piles in the future.

Our custom sattvic diet plan usually includes warm fibrous foods, ghee for lubricating the gut, and herbal tea to improve and soothe digestion. The treatment prohibits the intake of oily, processed, and spicy food.

The Ayurvedic treatment by some yoga poses and simple breathing techniques like Anulom Vilom helps in reducing the stress and also helps in improving the bowel movements, therefore relaxing you completely.
