Kshara Karma, Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Solution

Kshara Karma is a unique Ayurvedic procedure that uses herbal alkaline preparations (Kshara) to cauterize, clean and heal abnormal tissue, especially in anorectal conditions like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara) and warts (Charmakeela). It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical technique that combines Ayurvedic principles with effective clinical results.

The treatment works by:

  • Chemically debriding abnormal growths
  • Reducing inflammation and infection
  • Stimulating healthy tissue regeneration

It is particularly beneficial when surgery is not preferred or when conditions are in early to moderate stages.

Conditions Treated with Kshara Karma therapy

Kshara Karma is especially effective for:

  • Internal and external hemorrhoids (Arsha) – bleeding, prolapsed or thrombosed
  • Fistula-in-ano – minor tracts or supporting therapy with Kshara Sutra
  • Anal polyps or skin tags
  • Warts (Charmakeela) – especially genital warts or raised skin growths
  • Nasal polyps (Nasa Arsha) – in select cases
  • Corn, calluses or non-healing ulcers

Benefits of Kshara Karma treatment

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • Precise tissue removal without bleeding
  • Minimal downtime – most cases done in OPD
  • No need for general anesthesia
  • Reduced risk of recurrence
  • Safe for patients unfit for surgery
  • Ayurvedic – free from synthetic drugs or harsh chemicals

How Kshara Karma treatment works?

  • Pre-Procedure Assessment - Our Ayurvedic practitioner evaluates your prakriti (body constitution), condition, and stage of the disease. Lab or imaging tests may be advised for deeper cases like fistula.
  • Application of Kshara - The medicated alkaline paste is applied precisely to the target area. It acts locally, breaking down unhealthy tissue without harming surrounding healthy cells.
  • Post-Application Care - The site is washed with neutralizing agents (like lemon juice or buttermilk) to stop the alkaline action. Herbal ointments or soothing oils may be applied to promote healing.
  • Follow-up Sessions - Depending on the severity, repeated applications may be needed at weekly intervals. Most patients see noticeable relief within 1–3 sessions.
