Ksharakarma: Ayurvedic Herbal Cauterization
Ksharakarma is a highly effective, non-surgical Ayurvedic therapy involving the application of an alkaline herbal paste (Kshara) to chemically dissolve and debride abnormal growths, such as external piles and polyps.
How Ksharakarma Works
The Kshara paste, prepared from specific medicinal plants like Apamarga, possesses strong alkaline properties. When applied to internal or external hemorrhoids, it causes coagulation of proteins and closure of the tiny blood vessels, leading to the tissue shrinking and sloughing off naturally within a few days.
Key Benefits
- No Incisions: Completely non-surgical, avoiding cuts or sutures.
- Painless: Minimal discomfort during and after application.
- Outpatient: Done in minutes under clinical supervision, requiring no downtime.
