Natural and Safe Healing Approach Targeting the Root Cause  

Ayurveda is an ancient indigenous Indian system of medicine that dates back over 5000 years. It supports both body and mind through integration, contributing to overall holistic health. As far as Ayurvedic Treatment for Piles, Fissure and Fistula is concerned, it is based on lifestyle correction, dietary changes, and natural remedies to achieve safe and long-term healing.

In India, especially in Kolkata, Ayurveda is employed to treat one of the most chronic medical conditions, which include Anorectal diseases, including Piles (Haemorrhoids), Fissure and Fistula. Here, we explore how Ayurvedic medicine offers effective ways to manage these common yet distressing conditions by focusing on its core principles, treatment methods, and overall effectiveness in providing lasting solution.

 

Knowledge of Piles, Fistula and Fissure

Although all three look similar, they are completely different from each other. Hence, it is essential to understand clearly what Piles, Fistula and Fissure are and what causes and symptoms they have before analysing the Ayurvedic treatments of these conditions.

Piles (Haemorrhoids) 

When the veins in the area of the anus or lower rectum swell up because of repeated pressure, then Piles develop. The pressure is often caused by constipation, hardstool, extended hours of sitting or ineffective digestion. The Piles can be either internal (that is, within the rectum) or external (that is, outside the anus).

Common Symptoms

• Pain or discomfort during bowel movements.
• Itching or irritation around the anus.
• Swelling or lumps
• Bleeding during defecation

Possible Causes

• Constipation/Loose motion  
• Difficulty in passing stool
• Extended periods of sitting or inactivity
• Improper eating habits
• Weak digestion

 

Fissure 

An Anal Fissure is a minor tear or crack in the interior of the anus. It is very tiny but really painful, particularly during the passing of stools. Complaints include burning and bleeding.

Common Symptoms

• Acute pain during defecation
• Burning sensation
• Fresh bleeding with hard stools  

Possible Causes

• Long-term constipation
• Passing hard or dry stools
• Excessive straining  
• Poor bowel habits

Fistula 

An Anal Fistula refers to a (firmly formed) concreted tunnel or tract around the anus, especially in the case of repeated abscess or infection. Otherwise, it can lead to recurrent discharge of pus and pain.

Common Symptoms

• The discharge of pus or fluid in the anus.
• Recurrent swelling and pain
•  Infections that keep coming back.

Possible Causes

• Untreated Anal abscess
• Weak immunity
• Undigested and accumulated toxins.
• History of bowel difficulties.

Why Choose Ayurvedic Treatment for Piles, Fissure & Fistula over Surgery?

Unlike other treatment methods, Ayurvedic treatment targets the cause, which is an in-depth process, providing steady healing. It not only cures the pain, but also the cause.

Ayurveda helps by: 

• Improving digestion 
• Making stool soft naturally
• Reducing pain, swelling, burning and bleeding 
• Curing the affected region in a safe manner
• Preventing recurrence
  

Ayurveda is favourable to many patients intending to avoid surgery owing to the fear of incisions and recurrence in early and moderate cases.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Piles

To conduct treatment as per Ayurveda, the Piles would be divided into various categories depending on the dominant dosha present.

1. Herbal Remedies

In Ayurveda, many herbs such as Haritaki, Triphala, Arshoghini Vati and Kutaj are traditionally used to treat Piles due to their healing and cleansing properties. These herbs help support digestion, bowel movement and tissue healing. 

However, the proportion, strength and duration of these medicines must be chosen very carefully, as every patient’s condition is different. An experienced Ayurvedic Doctor decides the exact formulation based on the patient’s dosha balance, digestion, food habits, lifestyle and severity of the problem. At Naturoveda Health World, such herbal formulations are prescribed only after proper examination, ensuring safe, personalised and effective treatment.

2. Topical Treatments

Ayurveda also uses certain external applications to support healing in Piles. Remedies such as Kshara, Aloe Vera, and Jatyadi Oil are traditionally used to help reduce swelling, calm irritation, and promote natural healing of the affected area. These applications are not used randomly. 

Their type, strength, and method of application are carefully decided by an experienced Ayurvedic Doctor, depending on the grade of Piles, skin sensitivity, and overall health of the patient. At Naturoveda Health World, external treatments are prescribed only after proper evaluation, ensuring they are safe, gentle and effective for each individual.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Fistula

Ayurvedic cure of Anal Fistula is based on internal and external therapies together to remove the infection, pus and heal the tract.

1. Kshar Sutra Therapy

Kshara Sutra is a unique Ayurvedic treatment that is supposed to cure the Anal Fistula. It includes installing a thread impregnated with medication (Kshar Sutra) into the Fistula. A herbal thread is tied, and it cuts, drains and heals the hole. This surgery is quite effective as there are fewer chances of recurrence.

2. Herbal Formulations

Ayurveda also uses well-known herbs such as Guggul (Commiphora mukul) and Turmeric (Curcuma longa) to support healing in conditions like Fissure and Fistula. These herbs are traditionally valued for their anti-inflammatory and infection-controlling properties, which help reduce swelling, control discharge, and support tissue repair. 

The form, dosage and combination of these herbs are carefully decided by an experienced Ayurvedic Doctor, based on the patient’s condition, digestion and body type. At Naturoveda Health World, such herbal formulations are prescribed in a controlled and personalised manner to ensure safe and effective healing.

3. Food and Lifestyle Modifications
   

Anal Fissure patients are also recommended a diet that would aid in digestion and immunity. In addition, they should avoid food that contributes to constipation or irritation. Exercise and hygiene are also advised regularly to enhance the healing process.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Fissure

Ayurveda treats Anal Fissure by first healing the tear, then relieving pain, and finally preventing constipation.

1. Herbal Remedies

Ayurveda also focuses on improving digestion and easing bowel movements to reduce strain in conditions like Piles and Fissure. Herbs such as Pippali (Piper longum) are commonly used to support digestion and help prevent constipation. Along with internal care, sitz baths prepared with Triphala are traditionally advised to soothe the affected area, reduce discomfort and support natural healing. 

To ensure smooth and painless bowel movements, gentle Ayurvedic laxatives such as Isabgol (psyllium husk) may also be recommended. These measures are always prescribed under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic Doctor, who selects the right approach based on the patient’s digestion, lifestyle and body constitution.

2. Topical Applications

Ayurveda also recommends external care to support healing and reduce discomfort in Fissure and related conditions. Remedies such as Jatyadi Ghrita and Coconut Oil are traditionally used for local application to soothe the affected area and promote natural tissue repair. 

These formulations are applied under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician, who determines their suitability and method of use based on the severity of symptoms and the patient’s individual constitution

Importance of Nutrition and Everyday Routine

Drugs are most effective with the correction of food and habits. 

Naturoveda guides patients to: 

• Eat fibre-rich food like fruits, whole grains and vegetables, etc. 
• Drink enough water daily, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, which dehydrates one’s body.
• Avoid junk, fried, and spicy food because these foods have extreme aggravation of Pitta, exacerbating the problem of Piles.
• Avoid spending a lot of time sitting on the toilet. 
• Keep a regular bowel habit with easy-to-digest foods that do not burden the digestive system in any way.

The changes aid in quicker recovery and long-term remedy.

Advantages of Ayurvedic Treatment for Piles, Fissure & Fistula

1. Non-invasive and natural method 

Ayurvedic therapy involves natural remedies and procedures. There is neither cutting nor stitching nor rough measures. The healing process of the body is a natural process that is more comfortable and less risky to the patient. 

2. No long hospital stay 

The majority of the treatments are in an OPD mode. Taking treatment enables patients to resume their day-to-day life, work and stay at home comfortably. 

3. Less pain and discomfort 

Ayurvedic remedies have a slow and deep acting nature. The pain along with burning, itching and swelling are reduced slowly without leading to additional agony and trauma to the body.  

4. No habit-forming medicines 

The drugs are non-addictive. You do not get into lifelong dependency on them. Medicines are gradually decreased and discontinued once the healing process sets in. 

5. Focus on permanent relief 

Treatment is better for digestion, bowel movements and balance in the body instead of merely preventing pain or bleeding. This will prevent another occurrence of the problem.

6. Treatment by skilled Ayurvedic Physicians 

All patients undergo examination. The treatment is based on the individual’s body type, digestion, and habits. Such individualised attention enhances the outcomes and safety. 

What to do when the Doctor should be consulted?

Pay no attention to symptoms whenever you have: 

• Bleeding during motion 
• Severe pain or burning 
• Swelling or pus near the anus 
• Long-term constipation 
• Repeated recurrence

Treatment at an early age produces more and quicker results.
