It is an ayurvedic parasurgical treatment which involves management of Anorectal disorders for treating haemorrhoids, fistula-in-ano, Anal Fissure and Pilonidal Sinus. Pilonoidal Sinus (PNS) is a condition that occurs mainly in men, in young adults and in those who does a sitting job wherein a small hole or tunnel develops on the skin that gets filled with fluid or pus and forms an abscess or a cyst.

What is Ksharasutra

Ksharasutra Therapy is an Ayurvedic Parasurgical Technique. Great Indian Surgeon Sushruta narrated in his teachings the use of Kshara for cure of fistula in ano and other anorectal diseases.

The work of Sushruta was later compiled as "Sushrut Samhita" in the 5th century A.D. Acharya Chakrapani Datta (10-11 Century A.D.) and Acharya Bhav Mishra (16-18 century A.D.) have described in their classical Ayurvedic texts, the method of preparation and treatment of fistula in ano by use of Kshara Sutra (K.S.).

It is being used for the successful treatment of Anorectal Diseases from many years.

In this technique, a specially prepared thread (Kshar Sutra) is used to cure diseases. Kshar Sutra acts by "Herbal Chemical Cauterisation" and removes the disease from the body.

Many studies have been published by Ayurvedic doctors recently with encouraging results for treatment of fistula in ano and other anorectal diseases by use of Kshara Sutra.
