This chapter of [[Chikitsa Sthana]] exclusively deals with the treatment of ''guda arsha'' (piles/hemorrhoids). Congenital and acquired types, their causes, clinical features of ''dosha'' dominance and management are elaborated. The usual treatment of hemorrhoids is surgical, but if proper treatment is received it can be best managed with medicinal treatment. The disease ''arsha'' is mentioned in the ''Ashtomahagada'' (group of eight diseases that are difficult to cure).
 
 
Recurrence rate of hemorrhoids is high, even after surgical intervention. Sushruta has mentioned that any disease, if can be cured with the medicine is not required to be treated with ''shodhana'' and ''shastrakarma'' (surgical intervention). So, every attempt should be made to treat hemorrhoids with medicinal treatment, diet and lifestyle changes. Different medicinal formulations for conservative management and local applications, soothing therapy, sitz bath, fumigation, and sprinkling with the herbs are some of the modes of treatment prescribed to relieve the local inflammation, bleeding and maintain the peri-anal hygiene to control the disease. The principal of treatment is to avoid the ''nidana'' (causative factors), with diet being one of them. Digestive power of the person should be strong, which can be maintained with the consumption of different types of thin and thick gruels. ''Anuvasana basti'' is used for management of constipation, the root cause of ''arsha''. ''Raktamokshana'' (bloodletting), in cases of vitiation of ''rakta'', is advised. Finally, it is evident that treatment of hemorrhoids is multifocal and no single modality is effective including surgery.

This chapter is followed by ''udara roga'' because the causative factors for both the diseases are similar like vitiation of ''tridosha''. Both the diseases are related to the same system i.e. gastrointestinal tract. Further, ''arsha'' is one of the causative factors of ''udara roga'' (''Boddhagudedara''- intestinal obstruction) Therefore the chapter dealing with ''arshas'' (hemorrhoids) follows the chapter on the treatment of ''udara'' (obstinate abdominal disorders).

The chapter describes types of ''arsha'' (such as congenital or acquired), sites of manifestation other than the ano-rectal region, ''doshic'' signs and symptoms, etio-pathogenosis, etiology of the ''doshaja arsha'', and prognosis along with the symptoms of curable and incurable hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be ''shushka'' (dry or non-bleeding) and ''sravi'' (wet or bleeding) with different modes of treatment for each of these. In the bleeding type hemostatic management is essential while in non- bleeding type hemostatic treatment is not needed.

In the bleeding type hemostatic management is essential while in non- bleeding type hemostatic treatment is not needed.  
  
The dry hemorrhoids can be correlated with the external hemorrhoids where protrusion of mucosal folds occur, without bleeding. Local treatment includes, fomentation, sitz bath, sprinkling, smearing and fumigation and topical medicament. The need of proper hygiene of the peri-anal area is important. ''Raktamokshana'' (bloodletting) was advised as one of the para-surgical procedure and in cases of vitiation of ''rakta'' and predominance of ''pitta dosha''. Oral intake of the herbal powders, ''takraarishta, abhayaarishta, dantyaarishta, phalaarishta'' are described along with their method of preparation. In ''pathya'' the recipes like thick gruel, curd, buttermilk, leafy vegetables for vegetarian and meat as well as meat soup for non-vegetarian was advised in cases of constipated bowel. It proves that along with the other causative factors constipation is an important cause. The role of ''haritaki'' with jaggery is one of the requirements for ''deepana'' and ''pachana'' because the cause of ''arsha'' is depressed digestive power. The other recipes like ''ghrita,'' preparations like ''pippalyadi ghrita, chavyadi ghrita, nagaradi ghrita'' in constipated patients. The ''anuvasana basti'' is advisable with medicated ''taila'' in the management of dry or external hemorrhoids.

The wet hemorrhoids have the predominance of ''kapha'' along with ''vata'' and can be correlated with internal hemorrhoids which are usually bleeding in nature. The line of treatment as per predominance of ''vata'' or ''kapha'' has been described. In initial stage the bleeding should not be stopped as the vitiated blood should be let out. Later on ''kutajadi rasakriya'' for hemostatis, thick and thin gruel remedies were explained. Cooling therapy, sprinkling therapy with different herbal preparations, warm and cold water sitz bath was advised in the cases of bleeding. Recipes of curds and rice in the diet are also recommended. For local treatment external application of cold leaves, soothing ointment, rubbing recipes and topical application in the bleeding hemorrhoids are described.

These two categories of causative factors are also responsible for all the other congenital disorders in the human body. ''Sahaja'' means the disorder which is manifested along with the appearance of the body parts since birth. ''Arsha'' (hemorrhoids) is characterized by morbid growth in the muscle tissue. [5]

The hemorrhoids are located in the space of four and half ''angulas'' (or approximately 8-10 cm) in the lower part of rectum and anal canal. This area has three sphincters dividing the space into three parts (''guda vali''). There are other locations of ''arshas'' (hemorrhoids) in the body in which excessive and unnatural growth of the muscle tissue also takes place, such as, pudendum, female genital tract, throat, palate, mouth, nose, ears, eyelids and skins. However, in this chapter the ''arsha'' occurring in the anal region are only considered as ''arsha'' (hemorrhoids). The ''adhishthana'' (involved morbid tissue elements) of all the types of ''arsha'' are ''medas'' (fatty tissue), ''mamsa'' (muscular tissue) and ''tvaka'' (skin and mucous membrane). [6]

The ''dwandaja arsha'' (in which two ''doshas'' are predominantly aggravated) is caused by the combination of two types of etiological factors and clinical features of two ''doshas''. If the causative factors of all the ''doshas'' are combined together, then ''tridoshaja'' type of hemorrhoids (in which all the three ''doshas'' are simultaneously aggravated) is manifested. The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids are similar to those described for hereditary type of hemorrhoids (vide verses 7 and 8 above). [20]

Hemorrhoids never manifest without the aggravation of all the three ''doshas''. It is evident that the predominance of one or all the ''doshas'' determine the type of hemorrhoids. The nomenclature of ''doshaja arsha'' is given according to the predominance of ''dosha'' e.g. if ''vata dosha'' is predominant then that hemorrhoid is said to be ''vataja arsha''. [23]

Five types of ''vayu'' (''prana, apana, vyana, udana'' and ''samana''), ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids. These hemorrhoids are painful and are usually associated with several complications. These hemorrhoids affect the whole body and so they are difficult to cure with conservative measures.

Five types of [[vata]] (prana, apana, vyana, udana and samana), [[pitta]] and [[kapha]] - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids. These hemorrhoids are painful and are usually associated with several complications.  These hemorrhoids affect the whole body and so they are difficult to cure with conservative measures. [24-25]

If the patient of hemorrhoids develops edema in upper and lower extremities, face, umbilicus, anus and scrotum, and if he suffers from pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of chest, then such types of patients became incurable. [26]

Congenital/hereditary hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of three ''doshas'' and hemorrhoids located in the internal sphincter of the anus are also considered as incurable. [28]
 
 
In the presence of above incurable symptoms, if all four aspects of treatments like physician, drugs, attendant and patient are in the state of their excellence and if the patient has strong ''kayagni'' (power of digestion and metabolism) the disease may become ''yapya'' (palliative). Otherwise the disease became incurable. [29]
 
 
If the hemorrhoids are caused by vitiation of two ''doshas'', and are located in the second anal- sphincter and if these are more than one year old, then these are difficult of cure.
 
 
If the hemorrhoids are located in the external anal sphincter with vitiation of one ''dosha'', and are not chronic then patient is said to be curable.
 
  
A wise physician/surgeon should treat the patient early otherwise the enlarged hemorrhoids can obstruct the anal canal and lead to ''baddha-gudodara'' (obstruction in the passage of the ano-rectum). [30-32]

In the management of arsha,some physicians/surgeons advise  excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, while others recommend cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization). These procedures should be administered only by a physician/surgeon who is well trained in the field.

Any mistake during these (surgical or para-surgical) procedures could result in serious consequences and complications, such as impotency, ano-rectal swelling, obstruction in defecation, abdominal distension, excruciating pain, excessive bleeding and recurrence of hemorrhoids. On healing stricture may form and chronic sticky /pus discharge, prolapse of the rectum can occur. Above complications may develop due to improper surgery, ksharakarma and agnikarma.

The powder of ''hapusha, kunchika, dhanyaka'' (Coriandrum sativum), ''jeera'' (Cuminum Cyminum), ''karavi'' (Foeniculum Vulgare), ''kachura, pippali'' (Piper longum), ''pippali moola'' ( root of Piper longum), ''chitraka'' (Plumbagoylanica), ''gajapippali'' (Scindapsus officinalis Schoott.)'', yavani'' (Trachyspermum ammi) and ''ajamoda'' (Carum roxburghianum) (in equal quantity) should be taken in a jar which is smeared with ghee, butter-milk. The paste of the ingredients to be kept in the jar will be slightly sour and pungent. When it is well fermented, the sour and pungent tastes become well manifested. This is called ''takraarishta'', which is very delicious in taste. This drink should be taken in appropriate dose during the beginning, middle and end of meals, to overcome thirst. It also stimulates digestion, improves appetite, promotes complexion, helps in downward movement of ''kapha'' and ''vayu'', cures swelling, itching and pain in anus and promotes strength.

The physician acquainted with the time (''kala'') and procedure of administration (karma) should not discontinue buttermilk all of a sudden. Butter-milk should be administered up to one month, and thereafter, it should be gradually withdrawn. [82]

The butter-milk should be given for either one week or for ten days or for fifteen days or for a month according to strength of the patient and season. [78]
  
''Takra'' should be withdrawn gradually in the same quantity in which it was increased. While reducing buttermilk, the patients total food intake should not be reduced. Adoption of this procedure will promote and maintain his energy, maintain the strength, digestive power and promote the strength, plumpness as well as complexion.

Hemorrhoids once cured by the administration of butter-milk, do not recur. The butter milk burns all the grass sprinkled over the ground, let alone the dry type of hemorrhoids in a patient whose agni (digestive power and metabolism) has been kindled through this therapy.[86]

Butter-milk cleanses the channels of circulation as a result of which rasa (end product of the food after digestion) reaches [the tissue elements] appropriately. This produces proper nourishment, strength, complexion and exhilaration, and cures one hundred diseases including those caused by [[vata]] (80) and [[kapha]] (20). There is no medicine, better than butter-milk, for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by vitiation of [[vata]] and [[kapha]]. [87-88]

Freshly  collected  amalaki (one tula) should be coarsely pounded added pippali (Piper longum), vidanga (Embelia ribes) and maricha (Piper nigrum) (4 pala each), one pala of each patha(Cissampelos Pareira ), pippalimoola,  kramuka  chavya (Piper retrofractum), chitraka (Plumbego zylanicum), manjishta (Rubia cordifolia), elvaluka and half pala of each of kushta (Sassurea lappa),  daruharidra (Berberis aristata), suraha, sariva (Hemidesmus indicus), indrahva (Holarrhina antidysenterica) and bhadramusta and four pala of freshly  collected  nagapushpa should be added.  To this two drona of water should be added and boiled till one fourth remains. The decoction should be strained out through a cloth and cooled.  To this,  two adhakas  of the  cooled decoction of madhuka, two tulas of pounded sugar, half prastha of freshly collected honey and  the powder of tvak, ela, plava, patra, ambu, sevya, kramuka and kehra  taken in the quantity of one karsha each, should be added.  The inside wall of the clean jar should be smeared with ghee and fumigated with sugar and Aguru. This should be kept  for fifteen days.  After fifteen days, the recipe should be filtered out. This is called kanakarishta which is sweet in taste and is cardiac tonic.  It produces relish in the food and cures hemorrhoids, grahani, flatulence, udara, fever, heart diseases, pandu (anemia), edema, gulma (tumour), obstruction to the passage of stool, cough and other diseases caused by [[kapha]]. It also cures vali (appearance of wrinkles in the body), palita (appearance of premature grey hair) and khalitya (alopecia) caused by the vitiation of [[dosha]]s. [158-168]

If the blood vitiated by [[dosha]]s, which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several complications like raktapitta (a disease characterized by bleeding from various parts of the body ), fever, morbid thirst, suppression of digestive power, anorexia, jaundice, edema, pain in the anus and pelvic region, urticaria and pimples in the lumber region and thighs, kushtha, pandu (anemia), obstruction in flatus, urine and stool, headache, staimitya (a feeling as if the body is covered with a wet cloth ), heaviness of the body and other diseases caused by vitiated blood.

Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful.
 +
The physician should be well known with the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency. [177-181]

Kutaja (Holarrhina antidysenterica) bark (100 palas) should be boiled with rain water (one drona) till the entire essence of the bark comes to water (i.e. till 1/8th remains). This decoction should then be strained out through a cloth. To this, the powders of mocharasa, (one pala), samanga (one pala) Phalini (one pala)  and seeds of kutaja (Holarrhina antidysenterica)  (three palas) should be added and boiled again till it becomes semi-solid and till it sticks to the stirring spoon.  This rasakriya (semi- solid extract) stops bleeding in hemorrhoids if administered in appropriate dose and time.  This rasakriya should be administered along with goat-milk depending upon the strength of the patient.

If the blood vitiated by ''doshas'', which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several complications like ''raktapitta'' (a disease characterized by bleeding from various parts of the body ), fever, morbid thirst, suppression of digestive power, anorexia, jaundice, edema, pain in the anus and pelvic region, urticaria and pimples in the lumber region and thighs, ''kushtha, pandu'' (anemia), obstruction in flatus, urine and stool, headache, ''staimitya'' (a feeling as if the body is covered with a wet cloth ), heaviness of the body and other diseases caused by vitiated blood.  
+
Hemorrhoid mass should be covered with the leaves of banana, and puskara sprinkled with cold water.  Similarly, covering these masses with the leaves of padma (Nelumbo nucifera) and utpala is useful. [218]
  
Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful.

The physician should be well known with the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency. [177-181]

If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of [[vata]] then the patient should be given anuvsana type of enema with the help of luke-warm ghritamanda (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective piccha basti (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time. [222-224]
  
In summer season ''pitta'' predominant hemorrhoids without secondary predominance of ''vayu'' and ''kapha'' hemostatic therapies should be administered immediately to stop bleeding. [184]

The decoction of ''kutaja'' (Holarrhina antidysenterica) bark mixed with the powder of ''nagara'' (Zingiber officinalis) stops exudation of unctuous blood. The decoction of the ''dadima'' (Punica granatum), bark along with the powder of ''nagara'' and the decoction of ''chandana'' (Santalum album), mixed with the powder of ''nagara'' (Zingiber officinalis) are hemostatic in bleeding hemorrhoids.

''Kutaja'' (Holarrhina antidysenterica) bark (100 ''palas'') should be boiled with rain water (one ''drona'') till the entire essence of the bark comes to water (i.e. till 1/8th remains). This decoction should then be strained out through a cloth. To this, the powders of ''mocharasa'', (one ''pala''), ''samanga'' (one ''pala''), ''phalini'' (one ''pala'') and seeds of ''kutaja'' (Holarrhina antidysenterica) (three ''palas'') should be added and boiled again till it becomes semi-solid and till it sticks to the stirring spoon.

Hemorrhoids, diarrhea and grahani these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of above three diseases if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs. So, the digestion power should be maintained in these three diseases to overcome them. [244-245]

The foods that lead to downward movement of [[vata]] and  promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids.  Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patient suffering from this disease. [247-248]
  
After the digestion of above ''rasakriya'', the patient should be given ''shashtika shali'' (one type of rice) along with goat-milk to eat. It instantaneously cures bleeding hemorrhoids, diarrhea with bleeding, blood-diseases and serious types of ''urdhvaga'' as well as ''adhoga raktapitta'' [191-192]

Intake of the juice of ''vastuka'' along with goat-milk, the soup of the meat of birds and animals inhabiting arid zone should be taken without any sour ingredient or with small quantity of sour drug, which is useful for bleeding hemorrhoids. [194]

Thus ends of the 14th chapter which deals with the treatment of hemorrhoids (arshas) in the section on therapeutics of Agnivesha's work as redacted by Charaka.

== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==

+
*The ''arsha'' is of two types viz. congenital and acquired (manifested after the birth). 
bilvamiti cārśasaiścūrṇitāni peyāni śūleṣu||195||
+
*The congenital hemorrhoids are caused by the vitiation of the ''beeja dosha'' (deformity in sperm and ovum), specially the part of the anal canal or anal sphincters. This vitiation of the ''beeja dosha'' is caused by either wrong diet, lifestyle regimen of parents (father/mother) or by sinful acts of the past life of patient. These are also causes for all other congenital disorders.
 +
*''Arsha'' (hemorrhoids) is characterized by morbid growth in the muscle tissue. The ''adhishthana'' (involved morbid tissue elements) of all the types of ''arsha'' are ''[[medas]]'' (fatty tissue), ''[[mamsa]]'' (muscular tissue) and ''tvaka'' (skin and mucous membrane).
 +
*Characteristics or forms of all hemorrhoids are as per the ''[[dosha]]s'' involved in their formation.
 +
*In pathophysiology of ''arsha'', ''apana vayu'' gets obstructed by the hemorrhoid-mass and moves upwards leading to aggravation of ''samana vayu, vyana vayu, prana vayu, udana vayu, [[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha dosha]]''. When all these five types of ''[[vata]], [[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' get aggravated the individual suffers from morbidities of hemorrhoids.
 +
*The causes of ''[[vata]]ja arsha'' include habitual intake of astringent, pungent, bitter, ununctuous, cold and light food; habitual intake of ''pramitashana'' (food measured in extremely small quantities), intake of less quantity of food, intake of excess alcoholic drinks and indulgence in sexual acts; fasting, living in cold country and cold season, excess physical exercise, grief and exposure to sun and wind.
 +
*The causes of ''[[pitta]]ja arsha'' include intake of pungent, hot, salty and alkaline food; excess exercise and exposure to the heat of fire and Sun; living in a place and season which are not cold, intake of alcohol and envy; Intake of drinks, food and drugs having ''vidahi'' (causing burning sensation), sharp and hot properties.
 +
*The causes of ''[[kapha]]ja arsha'' (hemorrhoids) include sweet, unctuous, cold, salty, sour and heavy food; lack of exercise, sleeping during day time, excess sleeping and sitting; direct exposure to wind, living in cold place and exposure to cold season and mental inactivity.
 +
*Hemorrhoids always include aggravation of all the three ''[[dosha]]s''. Predominance of one or all the ''[[dosha]]s'' determine the type of hemorrhoids.
 +
*Five types of ''[[vata]]'' (''prana, apana, vyana, udana'' and ''samana''), ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids.
 +
*Excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, cauterization with ''ksharakarma'' (alkalies) and ''agnikarma'' (thermal cauterization) are three modalities in the management of ''arsha''.
 +
*Hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' are ‘dry hemorrhoids’. Whereas those with excess discharge (bleeding) and wetness are caused by aggravation of ''[[rakta]]'' and ''[[pitta]]''.
 +
*Dry, hard, inflamed and painful hemorrhoids should be first treated with fomentation in the form of ''avagaha'' (sitz bath in medicated decoction), ''abhyanga'' (local massage with medicated oils), sprinkling of medicated water, fumigation, ointment and external application. Then the vitiated blood shall be removed out by blood letting therapy. Bloodletting with the help of application of leeches or sharp instruments or needles should be done in ''[[rakta]]ja arsha'', if blood doesn't come out on its own. Simultaneously with this localized treatment, generalized treatment to correct the ''agni'' is advised to patients.
 +
*Butter-milk is the best medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]''. Butter-milk should be taken along with fat (for ''[[vata]]'') or in an ununctuous form (for ''[[kapha]]''). It can be given in various forms, at different times depending upon the state of disease.
 +
*''Anuvasana [[basti]]'' (unctuous enema) is best treatment for ''arsha'' associated with dysfunction of ''[[vata]]''.
 +
*The bleeding hemorrhoids shall be treated after assessment of association with ''[[vata]]'' dominance and ''[[kapha]]'' dominance in its patho-physiology. Unctuous and cold things should be used in cases of vitiation of ''[[vata]]'' in bleeding hemorrhoids. In case of vitiation of ''[[kapha]]'' in bleeding hemorrhoids, ununctuous and cold-things are useful.
 +
*If there is predominance of ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha dosha]], [[shodhana]]'' (elimination) therapies are indicated.
 +
*Bleeding should not be stopped immediately by giving hemostatic therapies. One should wait for appropriate time till the vitiated blood goes out and the patient can be given fasting therapy.
 +
*If the blood vitiated by ''[[dosha]]s'', which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several other complications. Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful.  The physician should be well aware of the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency.
 +
*Bitter drugs should be given for stimulation of the digestive power, hemostasis and ''[[pachana]]'' (metabolic transformation).
 +
*In hemorrhoids with predominance of ''[[vayu]]'', if bleeding continues even after the aggravated ''[[dosha]]s'' are eliminated, then the patient should be given unctuous therapies in the form of drinks, massage and ''anuvasana [[basti]]''.
 +
*In summer season, ''[[pitta]]'' predominant hemorrhoids without secondary predominance of ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'', should be treated with hemostatic therapies immediately to stop bleeding.
 +
*In case of excessive bleeding, the ''arsha'' becomes ''[[vata]]'' dominant. Even if ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' are predominantly vitiated, then also predominance of ''[[vata]]'' shall be considered in excessive bleeding.
 +
*If there is predominance of ''[[rakta]]'' and ''[[pitta]]'' and there is less of the signs and symptoms of aggravated ''[[kapha]]'' and ''[[vayu]]'', then the patient should be given cooling remedies.
 +
*If bleeding continues in spite of the above mentioned remedies and cooling therapies, then a wise physician should administer at the appropriate time, meat-soup which is unctuous and hot. Patient should be given medicated ghee which is administered, prior to taking food. His anus should be massaged with lukewarm ghee or oil, or the hemorrhoid mass should be fomented with lukewarm milk, ghee or oil. These remedies should be administered quickly.
 +
*If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of ''[[vata]]'' then the patient should be given ''anuvsana'' type of enema with the help of lukewarm ''ghritamanda'' (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective ''piccha basti'' (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time.
 +
*The power of digestion should always be preserved in the patients of hemorrhoids by giving sometimes cold articles and sometimes hot articles, sometimes sweet or sour taste drugs or food having opposite characters.
 +
*''Arsha'' (hemorrhoids), ''atisara'' (diarrhea) and ''grahani'' these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of these three diseases, if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs.
 +
*The foods that lead to downward movement of ''[[vata]]'' and promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids. Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patients.

In modern surgery, the primary hemorrhoids are located at 3, 7, and 11' 0 clock position while secondary hemorrhoids are located in other positions as well. The sizes of the hemorrhoids differ from patient to patient as well as duration of disease.

The symptoms described for the incurable hemorrhoids develop due to severe bleeding in third and fourth grade of hemorrhoids and secondary complications may develop due to severe anemia and became incurable. But in the present era this type of condition rarely develops and can be managed with the help of blood transfusion. So, any kind of hemorrhoid is curable in present era except one associated with ano-rectal carcinoma.

If bleeding continues in spite of the above mentioned remedies and cooling therapies, then a wise physician should administer at the appropriate time, meat-soup which is unctuous and hot.
 
 
 
Patient should be given medicated ghee which is administered, prior to taking food. His anus should be massaged with luke warm ghee or oil, or the hemorrhoid mass should be fomented with luke-warm milk, ghee or oil. These remedies should be administered quickly.
 
If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of vayu then the patient should be given anuvsana type of enema with the help of luke-warm ghritamanda (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective piccha basti (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time. [222-224]

Two palas each of yavasa, kusha, kasha, flowers of semul and adventitious roots of nyagrodha, udumbara and ashwattha should be added in six prasthas of water, two prasthas of milk and boiled till two prasthas remain. This should be strained through a cloth, and to this, the paste of the resin from shalmali (Mocharas), majishtha, chandana, utpala, seeds of kutaja, priyangu and padmakarira  should be  added.    This effective recipe is called piccha basti and it should be admini¬stered along with ghee, honey and sugar. It cures dysentery, prolapsed of rectum, bleeding and fever. [225-228]
 
 
 
Anuvasana basti in bleeding hemorrhoids
 
Prapaundarika and madhuka along with the drugs described in piccha basti should be made to a paste. This paste should be added to oil and double the quantity of milk, and cooked. [This medicated oil should be used for anuvasana type of medicated enema for the patients suffering from hemorrhoids. [229]

Avakpushpi, balamoola, daruharidra, pithavana, gokshuru and adventitious roots of nyagrodha, udumbara and ashvattha (2 pala each drug) these drugs should be added and boiled till one prastha of water remains. This decoction should be strained through a cloth. In this decoction jivanti, kutaki, pippali, pippalimoola, nagara, devadaru, indrajava, Flower of shalmali, shatavari, rakta chandana, utpala, katphala, chitraka, musta, priyangu, ativisha, sarivan, pollens of padma, utpala, majitha bhatakataiya, bilva, mocharasa and patha. All these drugs should be taken in the quantity of one karsha each and made to a paste.
 
The juice of changari in the above recipe should be added four times the quan¬tity of ghee because this portion does not contain any other liquid sunishanyaka changeri ghrita.
 
The above mentioned decoction and paste should be added with the juice of sunijannaka and changeri, two prasthas of each and one prastha of ghee, and cooked. This medicated ghee cures hemorrhoids, diarrhea, bleeding caused by the aggravation of all the three doshas, dysentery, voiding of different types of slimy material, prolapsed rectum, urge for motion, edema and pain in anal region, suppression and anorexia.  This medicated ghee helps in the promotion of strength, complexion and digestive power. This medicated ghee is harmless, and it can be administered alone or along with different types of food for digestion and strength. [235-242]
 
 
 
==== Different foods in arsha ====

Hemorrhoids, diarrhea and grahani these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of above three diseases if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs. So, the digestion power should be maintained in these three diseases to overcome them. [244-245]

The foods that lead to downward movement of vayu and  promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids.  Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patient suffering from this disease.

=== ''Tattva Vimarsha'' ===
 
 
 
*The arsha is of two types viz. congenital and acquired (manifested after the birth). 
 
*The congenital haemorrhoids are caused by the vitiation of the beeja dosha (deformity in sperm and ovum), specially the part of the anal canal or anal sphincters. This vitiation of the beeja dosha is caused by either wrong diet, lifestyle regimen of parents (father/mother) or by sinful acts of the past life of patient. These are also causes for all other congenital disorders.
 
*Arsha (hemorrhoids) is characterized by morbid growth in the muscle tissue. The adhishthan (involved morbid tissue elements) of all the types of arsha are medas (fatty tissue), mamsa (muscular tissue) and tvaka (skin and mucous membrane).
 
*Characteristics or forms of all hemorrhoids are as per the doshas involved in their formation.
 
*In pathophysiology of arsha, apana vayu gets obstructed by the hemorrhoid-mass and moves upwards leading to aggravation of samana vayu, vyana vayu, prana vayu,  udana vayu, pitta and kapha dosha. When all these five types of vayu, pitta and kapha get aggravated the individual suffers from morbidities of hemorrhoids.
 
*The causes of vataja arsha  include habitual intake of astringent, pungent, bitter, ununctuous, cold and light food; habitual intake of pramitashana (food measured in extremely small quantities), intake of less quantity of food, intake of excess alcoho¬lic drinks and indulgence in sexual acts; fasting, living in cold country and cold season, excess physical exercise, grief and exposure to sun and wind.
 
*The causes of pittaja arsha  include intake of pungent, hot, salty and alkaline food; excess exercise and exposure to the heat of fire and Sun; living in a place and season which are not cold, intake of alcohol and envy; Intake of drinks, food and drugs having vidahi (causing burning sensation), sharp and hot properties.
 
*The causes of kaphaja arsha (hemorrhoids) include sweet, unctuous, cold, salty, sour and heavy food; lack of exercise, sleeping during day time, excess sleeping and sitting; direct exposure to wind, living in cold place and exposure to cold season and mental inactivity.
 
*Hemorrhoids always include aggravation of all the three doshas. Predominance of one or all the doshas determine the type of hemorrhoids.
 
*Five types of vayu (prana, apana, vyana, udana and samana), pitta and kapha - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids.
 
*Excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization) are three modalities in the management of arsha.
 
*Hemorrhoids caused by aggrava¬tion of vayu and kapha are ‘dry hemorrhoids’. Whereas those with excess discharge (bleeding) and wetness are caused by aggravation of rakta and pitta.
 
*Dry, hard, inflamed and painful hemorrhoids should be first treated with fomentation in the form of avagaha (sitz bath in medicated decoction), abhyanga (local massage with medicated oils), sprinkling of medicated water, fumigation, ointment and external application.  Then the vitiated blood shall be removed out by blood letting therapy. Bloodletting with the help of application of leeches or sharp instruments or needles should be done in raktaja arsha, if blood doesn't come out on its own. Simultaneously with this localized treatment, generalized treatment to correct the agni is advised to patients.
 
*Butter-milk is the best medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of vayu and kapha. Butter-milk should be taken along with fat (for vayu) or in an ununctuous form (for kapha). It can be given in various forms, at different times depending upon the state of disease.
 
*Anuvasana basti (unctuous enema) is best treatment for arsha associated with dysfunction of vata.
 
*The bleeding haemorrhoids shall be treated after assessment of association with vata dominance and kapha dominance in its patho-physiology. Unctuous and cold things should be used in cases of vitiation of vayu in bleeding hemorrhoids. In case of vitiation of kapha in bleeding hemorrhoids, ununctuous and cold-things are useful.
 
*If there is predominance of pitta and kapha dosha, shodhan (elimination) therapies are indicated.
 
*Bleeding should not be stopped immediately by giving hemostatic therapies. One should wait for appropriate time till the vitiated blood goes out and the patient can be given fasting therapy.
 
*If the blood vitiated by doshas, which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several other complications. Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful.  The physician should be well aware of the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency.
 
*Bitter drugs should be given for stimu¬lation of the digestive power, hemostasis and pachana (meta¬bolic transformation).
 
*In hemorrhoids with predominance of vayu, if bleeding continues even after the aggravated doshas are eliminated, then the patient should be given unctuous therapies in the form of drinks, massage and anuvasana basti.
 
*In summer season, pitta predominant hemorrhoids without secondary predominance of vayu and kapha, should be treated with hemostatic therapies immediately to stop bleeding.
 
*In case of excessive bleeding, the arsha becomes vata dominant.  Even if pitta and kapha are predominantly vitiated, then also predominance of vata shall be considered in excessive bleeding.
 
*If there is predominance of rakta and pitta and there is less of the signs and symptoms of aggravated kapha and vayu, then the patient should be given cooling remedies.
 
*If bleeding continues in spite of the above mentioned remedies and cooling therapies, then a wise physician should administer at the appropriate time, meat-soup which is unctuous and hot. Patient should be given medicated ghee which is administered, prior to taking food. His anus should be massaged with luke warm ghee or oil, or the hemorrhoid mass should be fomented with luke-warm milk, ghee or oil. These remedies should be administered quickly.
 
*If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of vayu then the patient should be given anuvsana type of enema with the help of luke-warm ghritamanda (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective piccha basti (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time.
 
*The power of digestion should always be preserved in the patients of hemorrhoids by giving sometimes cold articles and sometimes hot articles, sometimes sweet or sour taste drugs or food having opposite characters.
 
*Arsha (hemorrhoids), atisara (diarrhea) and grahani these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of these three diseases, if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs.
 
*The foods that lead to downward movement of vayu and promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids.  Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patients.
 
 
 
=== ''Vidhi Vimarsha'' ===
 
 
 
In modern surgery, the primary hemorrhoids are located at 3, 7, and 11 0 clock position while secondary hemorrhoids are located in other positions as well. The sizes of the hemorrhoids differ from patient to patient as well as duration of disease.
 
The symptoms described for the incurable hemorrhoids develop due to severe bleeding in third and fourth grade of hemorrhoids and secondary complications may develop due to severe anemia and became incurable. But in the present era this type of condition rarely develops and can be managed with the help of blood transfusion. So, any kind of hemorrhoid is curable in present era except one associated with ano-rectal carcinoma.
 
 
 
Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium) is strong medicine and if given as single drug in oil form it leads to ulceration in mouth so refreshing drink should be added to dilute and to avoid the complication.
 
 
 
Charaka mentioned in most of the verses the effect of the formulation like dantyarishta helps in the downward movement of flatus and feces and stimulates the digestive power. It shows that the main cause of the disease is agnimandya and constipation.
 
In recent studies the sitz bath is advised with warm water in all kind of hemorrhoids or ano-rectal disorders. Charaka mentioned sitz bath with warm and cold water. The warm water should be used in cases of vataj and kaphaj type of hemorrhoids while cold water sitz bath should be given in cases of pittaja or rakatj predominant hemorrhoids.

Abstract

This chapter of Chikitsa Sthana exclusively deals with the treatment of guda arsha (piles/hemorrhoids). Congenital and acquired types, their causes, clinical features of dosha dominance and management are elaborated. The usual treatment of hemorrhoids is surgical, but if proper treatment is received it can be best managed with medicinal treatment. The disease arsha is mentioned in the Ashtomahagada (group of eight diseases that are difficult to cure).
Recurrence rate of hemorrhoids is high, even after surgical intervention. Sushruta has mentioned that any disease, if can be cured with the medicine is not required to be treated with shodhana and shastrakarma (surgical intervention). So, every attempt should be made to treat hemorrhoids with medicinal treatment, diet and lifestyle changes. Different medicinal formulations for conservative management and local applications, soothing therapy, sitz bath, fumigation, and sprinkling with the herbs are some of the modes of treatment prescribed to relieve the local inflammation, bleeding and maintain the peri-anal hygiene to control the disease. The principal of treatment is to avoid the nidana (causative factors), with diet being one of them. Digestive power of the person should be strong, which can be maintained with the consumption of different types of thin and thick gruels. Anuvasana basti is used for management of constipation, the root cause of arsha. Raktamokshana (bloodletting), in cases of vitiation of rakta, is advised. Finally, it is evident that treatment of hemorrhoids is multifocal and no single modality is effective including surgery.

Keywords: Arsha, anuvasana basti, raktamokshana, hemorrhoids, shodhana chikitsa, soothing therapy, sitz bath, fumigation, asava, arishta, churna, vati, pichcha basti


Introduction

This chapter is followed by udara roga because the causative factors for both the diseases are similar like vitiation of tridosha. Both the diseases are related to the same system i.e. gastrointestinal tract. Further, arsha is one of the causative factors of udara roga (Boddhagudedara- intestinal obstruction) Therefore the chapter dealing with arshas (hemorrhoids) follows the chapter on the treatment of udara (obstinate abdominal disorders).

The chapter describes types of arsha (such as congenital or acquired), sites of manifestation other than the ano-rectal region, doshic signs and symptoms, etio-pathogenosis, etiology of the doshaja arsha, and prognosis along with the symptoms of curable and incurable hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be shushka (dry or non-bleeding) and sravi (wet or bleeding) with different modes of treatment for each of these. In the bleeding type hemostatic management is essential while in non- bleeding type hemostatic treatment is not needed.

The dry hemorrhoids can be correlated with the external hemorrhoids where protrusion of mucosal folds occur, without bleeding. Local treatment includes, fomentation, sitz bath, sprinkling, smearing and fumigation and topical medicament. The need of proper hygiene of the peri-anal area is important. Raktamokshana (bloodletting) was advised as one of the para-surgical procedure and in cases of vitiation of rakta and predominance of pitta dosha. Oral intake of the herbal powders, takraarishta, abhayaarishta, dantyaarishta, phalaarishta are described along with their method of preparation. In pathya the recipes like thick gruel, curd, buttermilk, leafy vegetables for vegetarian and meat as well as meat soup for non-vegetarian was advised in cases of constipated bowel. It proves that along with the other causative factors constipation is an important cause. The role of haritaki with jaggery is one of the requirements for deepana and pachana because the cause of arsha is depressed digestive power. The other recipes like ghrita, preparations like pippalyadi ghrita, chavyadi ghrita, nagaradi ghrita in constipated patients. The anuvasana basti is advisable with medicated taila in the management of dry or external hemorrhoids.

The wet hemorrhoids have the predominance of kapha along with vata and can be correlated with internal hemorrhoids which are usually bleeding in nature. The line of treatment as per predominance of vata or kapha has been described. In initial stage the bleeding should not be stopped as the vitiated blood should be let out. Later on kutajadi rasakriya for hemostatis, thick and thin gruel remedies were explained. Cooling therapy, sprinkling therapy with different herbal preparations, warm and cold water sitz bath was advised in the cases of bleeding. Recipes of curds and rice in the diet are also recommended. For local treatment external application of cold leaves, soothing ointment, rubbing recipes and topical application in the bleeding hemorrhoids are described.

To Punarvasu (Lord Atreya), who was in calm pose after having completed his religious rituals, Agnivesha inquired about the etiology, aggravating factors, shape, size, location, clinical features, treatment and prognosis of arsha (hemorrhoids). Then Lord Atreya responded. [3-4]

O Agnivesha!, The arsha is of two types:

  1. Congenital
  2. Acquired (manifested after the birth).

Congenital hemorrhoids are caused by the vitiation of the beeja dosha (deformity in sperm and ovum), specially the part of the anal canal or anal sphincters. This vitiation of the beeja dosha is caused by two groups of factors:

  1. The wrong diet and regimen of parents (father/mother)
  2. The sinful acts of the past life of individuals.

These two categories of causative factors are also responsible for all the other congenital disorders in the human body. Sahaja means the disorder which is manifested along with the appearance of the body parts since birth. Arsha (hemorrhoids) is characterized by morbid growth in the muscle tissue. [5]

Locations of hemorrhoids

The hemorrhoids are located in the space of four and half angulas (or approximately 8-10 cm) in the lower part of rectum and anal canal. This area has three sphincters dividing the space into three parts (guda vali). There are other locations of arshas (hemorrhoids) in the body in which excessive and unnatural growth of the muscle tissue also takes place, such as, pudendum, female genital tract, throat, palate, mouth, nose, ears, eyelids and skins. However, in this chapter the arsha occurring in the anal region are only considered as arsha (hemorrhoids). The adhishthana (involved morbid tissue elements) of all the types of arsha are medas (fatty tissue), mamsa (muscular tissue) and tvaka (skin and mucous membrane). [6]

Among the congenital hemorrhoids, some are small, some are large, some are long, some are short, some are round, some are irregularly spread, some are curved internally, some are curved externally, some are matted together, and some are introverted. Their characteristics or forms are as per the doshas involved in their formation. [7]

The causes of acquired hemorrhoids : In a person whose power of digestion is afflicted, mala (waste products) gets accumulated in excess due to the following reasons:

  1. Intake of heavy, sweet, cold, abhishyandi (food that causes obstruction in the channels of circulation), vidahi (that causes burning sensation) and viruddha ( mutually contra¬dictory ) food; intake of food before the previous meal is digested; intake of a small quantity of food; and intake of unwholesome food;
  2. Excessive intake of the meats of cattle, fish, pig, buffalo, goat and sheep;
  3. Meat of emaciated animals, dried meat and putrefied meat.
  4. Excessive intake of pastries, paramanna (preparation of milk, rice and sugar), milk, dadhimanda (whey), preparations of sesame seed and jaggery-products;
  5. Excessive intake of masha, sugarcane juice, oil cake, pindaluka, dry vegetables, vinegar, garlic, kilat (cream of milk) takra-pindaka (cream of curd), bisa (thick lotus stalk ), naktamala (thin lotus stalk) shaluka, kraunchodana, kasheruka, shringataka, tarut, germinated corns and pulses, freshly harvested corns and cereals and tender radish;
  6. Intake of heavy fruits, vegetables, pickles, hantaka (uncooked vegetables), mardaka, vasa (muscle fat), meat of head and legs of animals, stale, putrid and sankeerna anna (food prepared by the mixture of different items, like rice and meat).
  7. Intake of mandaka (immature curds) and wrongly (excess) fermented wines.
  8. Drinking of polluted and heavy water, excess intake of sneha (oleation therapy), non-use of panchakarma (elimination therapies), improper basti karma (enema therapy)
  9. Lack of exercise, avayaya (lack of sexual activity) or adhivayaya (excess sexual activity), sleep during day time; and habits to pleasant beds, seats and location.

Similarly, the following factors are responsible for the aggravation of apana vayu.

  1. Use of rough, irregular and hard seats
  2. Use of vehicles carried by improperly trained animals or vehicles carried by camels
  3. Excessive indulgence in sexual act;
  4. Improper insertion of enema nozzle and frequent injury in the anal region.
  5. Frequent application of cold water.
  6. Use of rags, clods of grass, etc. for rubbing the anus
  7. Continued and excessive strain
  8. Forcible attempts for passing flatus, urine and stool
  9. Suppression of natural urges
  10. Miscarriage, pressure of the pregnant uterus and abnormal delivery in the case of women.

The apana vayu aggravated by the above mentioned factors, brings down the accumulated waste products and so afflicts the anal sphincters and leads to acquired type of hemorrhoids. [9]

Hemorrhoids have different shapes and resemble mustard, masura, masha, mudga, kushtaka (Saussurea lappa CB. Clarke), yava (barley), kalaya (green pea), pindi, tundikeri (fruit of karira), kebuka, tinduka, karkandhu, kakanantika, bimbi badara, karira, udumbara (Ficus racemosa Linn), kharjura (Phoenix dactylifera) jambu (Syzygium cuminii (Linn.)), gostana (cow's breast), thumb, kasheruka, shringataka, shringi, beaks or tongues of a fowl, a peacock or a parrot, and buds of lotus or karyika. All above mentioned shapes are in general the characteristic shapes of hemorrhoids caused by excessive aggravation of vata, pitta and kapha. [10]

The dwandaja arsha (in which two doshas are predo¬minantly aggravated) is caused by the combination of two types of etiological factors and clinical features of two doshas. If the causative factors of all the doshas are combined together, then tridosaja type of hemorrhoids (in which all the three doshas are simultaneously aggravated) is manifested. The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids are similar to those described for hereditary type of hemorrhoids- (vide verses 7 and 8 above). [20]

Delayed digestion of the food, weakness, gurgling sound in the lower abdomen, emaciation, frequent eructation; pain in thighs, voiding less stool, anemia, apprehension of the manifestation of udararoga (obstinate abdominal disorders including ascites)-these are the premonitory signs and symptoms in the development of hemorrhoids. [21-22]

Involvement of three doshas

Hemorrhoids never manifest without the aggravation of all the three doshas. It is evident that the predominance of one or all the doshas determine the type of hemorrhoids. The nomenclature of doshaja arsha is given according to the predominance of dosha e.g. if vata dosha is predominat then that hemorrhoid is said to be vataja arsha. [23]

Five types of vata (prana, apana, vyana, udana and samana), pitta and kapha - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids. These hemorrhoids are painful and are usually associated with several complications. These hemorrhoids affect the whole body and so they are difficult to cure with conservative measures. [24-25]

If the patient of hemorrhoids develops edema in upper and lower extremities, face, umbilicus, anus and scrotum, and if he suffers from pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of chest, then such types of patients became incurable. [26]

Pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of the chest, fainting, vomiting, pain in the limbs, fever, thirst and perianal swelling - these complications lead to the death of the patient suffering from hemorrhoids. [27]

Congenital/hereditary hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of three doshas and hemorrhoids located in the internal sphincter of the anus are also considered as incurable. [28]

In the presence of above incurable symptoms, if all four aspects of treatments like physician, drugs, attendant and patient are in the state of their excellence and if the patient has strong kayagni (power of digestion and metabolism) the disease may become yapya (palliative). Otherwise the disease became incurable. [29]

If the hemorrhoids are caused by vitiation of two doshas, and are located in the second anal- sphincter and if these are more than one year old, then these are difficult of cure. If the hemorrhoids are located in the external anal sphincter with vitiation of one dosha, and are not chronic then patient is said to be curable. A wise physician/surgeon should treat the patient early otherwise the enlarged hemorrhoids can obstruct the anal canal and lead to baddha-gudodara (obstruction in the passage of the ano-rectum). [30-32]

In the management of arsha,some physicians/surgeons advise excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, while others recommend cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization). These procedures should be administered only by a physician/surgeon who is well trained in the field.

Any mistake during these (surgical or para-surgical) procedures could result in serious consequences and complications, such as impotency, ano-rectal swelling, obstruction in defecation, abdominal distension, excruciating pain, excessive bleeding and recurrence of hemorrhoids. On healing stricture may form and chronic sticky /pus discharge, prolapse of the rectum can occur. Above complications may develop due to improper surgery, ksharakarma and agnikarma.

Now the treatment which involve less of risk and which are not painful will be described for the eradication of hemorrhoids. [33-37]

The paste of the root-bark of Chitraka (Plumbago Zeylanica) should be smeared inside earthen jar and in this jar, curd or butter-milk should be prepared which relieves hemorrhoids. [76] There is no medicine better than butter-milk for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of vata and kapha. Butter-milk should be taken along with fat (for vata) or in an ununctuous form (for kapha).[77]

The butter-milk should be given for either one week or for ten days or for fifteen days or for a month according to strength of the patient and season. [78]

If the kayagni (digestive power and metabolism) of the patient is very weak, then only butter¬milk should be advised for morning and evening. Otherwise takra avalehik (linctus prepared by adding butter-milk to the flour of fried paddy) should be given in the evening. [79]

If butter¬milk given in the morning then takrapeya, a thin gruel prepared by adding butter-milk along with rock-salt should be given in the evening. Thereafter, Takra audana (rice mixed with butter-milk) added with oil should be given along with butter-milk as Anupan. [80] Vegetable soup or meat soup along with butter-milk should be given and alternatively, vegetable soup and meat soup prepared with butter¬milk can be given as diet. [81] The physician acquainted with the time (kala) and procedure of administration (karma) should not discontinue butter-milk all of a sudden. Butter-milk should be administered up to one month, and thereafter, it should be gradually withdrawn. [82]

Takra should be withdrawn gradually in the same quantity in which it was increased. While reducing butter-milk, the patients total food intake should not be reduced. Adoption of this procedure will promote and maintain his energy, maintain the strength, digestive power and promote the strength, plumpness as well as complexion. Butter-milk is of three types:

  1. From which fat is completely removed
  2. From which half of the fat is removed
  3. From which fat is not at all removed. [83-84]

The physician acquainted with the nature of the dosha involved in the causation of the disease, agni (power of diges¬tion and metabolism) of the patient and his strength should administer any of the above mentioned three types of butter¬milk appropriately.[85] Hemorrhoids once cured by the administration of butter-milk, do not recur. The butter milk burns all the grass sprinkled over the ground, let alone the dry type of hemorrhoids in a patient whose agni (digestive power and metabolism) has been kindled through this therapy.[86] Butter-milk cleanses the channels of circulation as a result of which rasa (end product of the food after digestion) reaches [the tissue elements] appropriately. This produces proper nourishment, strength, complexion and exhilaration, and cures one hundred diseases including those caused by vata (80) and kapha (20). There is no medicine, better than butter-milk, for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by vitiation of vata and kapha. [87-88]

If the blood vitiated by doshas, which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several complications like raktapitta (a disease characterized by bleeding from various parts of the body ), fever, morbid thirst, suppression of digestive power, anorexia, jaundice, edema, pain in the anus and pelvic region, urticaria and pimples in the lumber region and thighs, kushtha, pandu (anemia), obstruction in flatus, urine and stool, headache, staimitya (a feeling as if the body is covered with a wet cloth ), heaviness of the body and other diseases caused by vitiated blood. Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful. The physician should be well known with the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency. [177-181]

If bleeding continues in spite of the above mentioned remedies and cooling therapies, then a wise physician should administer at the appropriate time, meat-soup which is unctuous and hot.

Patient should be given medicated ghee which is administered, prior to taking food. His anus should be massaged with luke warm ghee or oil, or the hemorrhoid mass should be fomented with luke-warm milk, ghee or oil. These remedies should be administered quickly. If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of vata then the patient should be given anuvsana type of enema with the help of luke-warm ghritamanda (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective piccha basti (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time. [222-224]

Two palas each of yavasa, kusha, kasha, flowers of semul and adventitious roots of nyagrodha, udumbara and ashwattha should be added in six prasthas of water, two prasthas of milk and boiled till two prasthas remain. This should be strained through a cloth, and to this, the paste of the resin from shalmali (Mocharas), majishtha, chandana, utpala, seeds of kutaja, priyangu and padmakarira should be added. This effective recipe is called piccha basti and it should be administered along with ghee, honey and sugar. It cures dysentery, prolapsed of rectum, bleeding and fever. [225-228]

Anuvasana basti in bleeding hemorrhoids

Prapaundarika and madhuka along with the drugs described in piccha basti should be made to a paste. This paste should be added to oil and double the quantity of milk, and cooked. This medicated oil should be used for anuvasana type of medicated enema for the patients suffering from hemorrhoids. [229]

Avakpushpi, balamoola, daruharidra, pithavana, gokshuru and adventitious roots of nyagrodha, udumbara and ashvattha (2 pala each drug) these drugs should be added and boiled till one prastha of water remains. This decoction should be strained through a cloth. In this decoction jivanti, kutaki, pippali, pippalimoola, nagara, devadaru, indrajava, Flower of shalmali, shatavari, rakta chandana, utpala, katphala, chitraka, musta, priyangu, ativisha, sarivan, pollens of padma, utpala, majitha bhatakataiya, bilva, mocharasa and patha. All these drugs should be taken in the quantity of one karsha each and made to a paste. The juice of changari in the above recipe should be added four times the quantity of ghee because this portion does not contain any other liquid sunishanyaka changeri ghrita. The above mentioned decoction and paste should be added with the juice of sunijannaka and changeri, two prasthas of each and one prastha of ghee, and cooked. This medicated ghee cures hemorrhoids, diarrhea, bleeding caused by the aggravation of all the three doshas, dysentery, voiding of different types of slimy material, prolapsed rectum, urge for motion, edema and pain in anal region, suppression and anorexia. This medicated ghee helps in the promotion of strength, complexion and digestive power. This medicated ghee is harmless, and it can be administered alone or along with different types of food for digestion and strength. [235-242]

Different foods in arsha

Thus it is said, depending upon the power of digestion, the patients of hemorrhoids should be given some time cold article and sometimes hot articles sometimes sweet or sour taste drugs or food should be given having opposite characters to keep digestive power normal. [243]

Hemorrhoids, diarrhea and grahani these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of above three diseases if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs. So, the digestion power should be maintained in these three diseases to overcome them. [244-245]

The foods that lead to downward movement of vata and promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids. Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patient suffering from this disease. [247-248]

Thus ends of the 14th chapter which deals with the treatment of hemorrhoids (arshas) in the section on therapeutics of Agnivesha's work as redacted by Charaka.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • The arsha is of two types viz. congenital and acquired (manifested after the birth).
  • The congenital hemorrhoids are caused by the vitiation of the beeja dosha (deformity in sperm and ovum), specially the part of the anal canal or anal sphincters. This vitiation of the beeja dosha is caused by either wrong diet, lifestyle regimen of parents (father/mother) or by sinful acts of the past life of patient. These are also causes for all other congenital disorders.
  • Arsha (hemorrhoids) is characterized by morbid growth in the muscle tissue. The adhishthana (involved morbid tissue elements) of all the types of arsha are medas (fatty tissue), mamsa (muscular tissue) and tvaka (skin and mucous membrane).
  • Characteristics or forms of all hemorrhoids are as per the doshas involved in their formation.
  • In pathophysiology of arsha, apana vayu gets obstructed by the hemorrhoid-mass and moves upwards leading to aggravation of samana vayu, vyana vayu, prana vayu, udana vayu, pitta and kapha dosha. When all these five types of vata, pitta and kapha get aggravated the individual suffers from morbidities of hemorrhoids.
  • The causes of vataja arsha include habitual intake of astringent, pungent, bitter, ununctuous, cold and light food; habitual intake of pramitashana (food measured in extremely small quantities), intake of less quantity of food, intake of excess alcoholic drinks and indulgence in sexual acts; fasting, living in cold country and cold season, excess physical exercise, grief and exposure to sun and wind.
  • The causes of pittaja arsha include intake of pungent, hot, salty and alkaline food; excess exercise and exposure to the heat of fire and Sun; living in a place and season which are not cold, intake of alcohol and envy; Intake of drinks, food and drugs having vidahi (causing burning sensation), sharp and hot properties.
  • The causes of kaphaja arsha (hemorrhoids) include sweet, unctuous, cold, salty, sour and heavy food; lack of exercise, sleeping during day time, excess sleeping and sitting; direct exposure to wind, living in cold place and exposure to cold season and mental inactivity.
  • Hemorrhoids always include aggravation of all the three doshas. Predominance of one or all the doshas determine the type of hemorrhoids.
  • Five types of vata (prana, apana, vyana, udana and samana), pitta and kapha - all these morbid factors in their aggravated state afflict the three anal sphincters at ano-rectum and lead to hemorrhoids.
  • Excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization) are three modalities in the management of arsha.
  • Hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of vata and kapha are ‘dry hemorrhoids’. Whereas those with excess discharge (bleeding) and wetness are caused by aggravation of rakta and pitta.
  • Dry, hard, inflamed and painful hemorrhoids should be first treated with fomentation in the form of avagaha (sitz bath in medicated decoction), abhyanga (local massage with medicated oils), sprinkling of medicated water, fumigation, ointment and external application. Then the vitiated blood shall be removed out by blood letting therapy. Bloodletting with the help of application of leeches or sharp instruments or needles should be done in raktaja arsha, if blood doesn't come out on its own. Simultaneously with this localized treatment, generalized treatment to correct the agni is advised to patients.
  • Butter-milk is the best medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of vata and kapha. Butter-milk should be taken along with fat (for vata) or in an ununctuous form (for kapha). It can be given in various forms, at different times depending upon the state of disease.
  • Anuvasana basti (unctuous enema) is best treatment for arsha associated with dysfunction of vata.
  • The bleeding hemorrhoids shall be treated after assessment of association with vata dominance and kapha dominance in its patho-physiology. Unctuous and cold things should be used in cases of vitiation of vata in bleeding hemorrhoids. In case of vitiation of kapha in bleeding hemorrhoids, ununctuous and cold-things are useful.
  • If there is predominance of pitta and kapha dosha, shodhana (elimination) therapies are indicated.
  • Bleeding should not be stopped immediately by giving hemostatic therapies. One should wait for appropriate time till the vitiated blood goes out and the patient can be given fasting therapy.
  • If the blood vitiated by doshas, which comes out from the hemorrhoids is arrested in the beginning then it may lead to several other complications. Therefore, only after elimination of vitiated blood hemostatic measures are useful. The physician should be well aware of the etiology, signs and symptoms, nature of the time, strength and color of the blood and should wait for appropriate time before administering hemostatic therapies unless there is an emergency.
  • Bitter drugs should be given for stimulation of the digestive power, hemostasis and pachana (metabolic transformation).
  • In hemorrhoids with predominance of vayu, if bleeding continues even after the aggravated doshas are eliminated, then the patient should be given unctuous therapies in the form of drinks, massage and anuvasana basti.
  • In summer season, pitta predominant hemorrhoids without secondary predominance of vata and kapha, should be treated with hemostatic therapies immediately to stop bleeding.
  • In case of excessive bleeding, the arsha becomes vata dominant. Even if pitta and kapha are predominantly vitiated, then also predominance of vata shall be considered in excessive bleeding.
  • If there is predominance of rakta and pitta and there is less of the signs and symptoms of aggravated kapha and vayu, then the patient should be given cooling remedies.
  • If bleeding continues in spite of the above mentioned remedies and cooling therapies, then a wise physician should administer at the appropriate time, meat-soup which is unctuous and hot. Patient should be given medicated ghee which is administered, prior to taking food. His anus should be massaged with lukewarm ghee or oil, or the hemorrhoid mass should be fomented with lukewarm milk, ghee or oil. These remedies should be administered quickly.
  • If bleeding doesn't stop and there is aggravation of vata then the patient should be given anuvsana type of enema with the help of lukewarm ghritamanda (upper portion of the ghee). He should be given the effective piccha basti (recipe of which is described below) at the appropriate time.
  • The power of digestion should always be preserved in the patients of hemorrhoids by giving sometimes cold articles and sometimes hot articles, sometimes sweet or sour taste drugs or food having opposite characters.
  • Arsha (hemorrhoids), atisara (diarrhea) and grahani these three diseases are interdependent. In all patients of these three diseases, if the digestive power is low then disease gets aggravated and if digestive power is strong then relief occurs.
  • The foods that lead to downward movement of vata and promote digestive power should be daily consumed by patients of hemorrhoids. Those foods having opposite properties and those described in the etiology of hemorrhoids should never be used by the patients.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

In modern surgery, the primary hemorrhoids are located at 3, 7, and 11' 0 clock position while secondary hemorrhoids are located in other positions as well. The sizes of the hemorrhoids differ from patient to patient as well as duration of disease.

The symptoms described for the incurable hemorrhoids develop due to severe bleeding in third and fourth grade of hemorrhoids and secondary complications may develop due to severe anemia and became incurable. But in the present era this type of condition rarely develops and can be managed with the help of blood transfusion. So, any kind of hemorrhoid is curable in present era except one associated with ano-rectal carcinoma.

Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium) is strong medicine and if given as single drug in oil form it leads to ulceration in mouth so refreshing drink should be added to dilute and to avoid the complication.

Charaka mentioned in most of the verses the effect of the formulation like dantyarishta helps in the downward movement of flatus and feces and stimulates the digestive power. It shows that the main cause of the disease is agnimandya and constipation.

In recent studies the sitz bath is advised with warm water in all kind of hemorrhoids or ano-rectal disorders. Charaka mentioned sitz bath with warm and cold water. The warm water should be used in cases of vataja and kaphaja type of hemorrhoids while cold water sitz bath should be given in cases of pittaja or raktaja predominant hemorrhoids.
