Ayurvedic treatment of piles (Haemorrhoids / Cushions)
Haemorrhoids/Cushions are a diseased condition, commonly known as piles. The symptoms of piles match well with Arsha. It has been mentioned in Ayurveda that due to faulty dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle, digestion becomes weak (Mandagni) and as a result, the excess accumulation of Mala (waste) occurs in the body. In addition to that, due to various faulty habits, vitiation of Apana Vayu occurs, which causes more obstruction of Mala and pushes it inside, ultimately resulting in the formation of Arsha. Weak digestion and constipation, being major causative factors for piles, the treatment is focused to promote healthy digestion. Ayurveda tackles piles with the customized diet and lifestyle modifications. In addition to that, Ayurvedic healers emphasize regularizing bowel movements. In Ayurvedic prescription for piles, specific combinations of advanced detoxification ingredients are recommended to cleanse the accumulated Ama (Toxins) along with tailor-made wellness products to enhance digestion.
Ayurvedic concept for treating piles naturally
We, at ND Care Nirogam Pvt. Ltd., refer to piles (external/internal haemorrhoids) as a disease which tortures patient's vital force (Prana). Basically, piles are a kind of swelling of anal vasculature which obstructs defecation and causes intensive hurting to the patient. Evident from the Shloka below: -
In Ayurveda, piles / Arsha occurs due to the enlargement of the blood vessels in the anal region.
In Ayurveda Arshas are categorized into two types
Type 1: Sraavi Arsha (bleeding piles) & Type 2: Shushka Arsha (dry piles)
-
The treatment of piles targets the tissues viz. Medas (fat tissue), Mamsa (muscle tissue), and Tvak (skin including mucous membrane), which are the main seats of Arshas. The piles treatment protocol (piles reduction) targets the main symptoms to provide immediate relief and to eradicate the root cause of the piles without any surgical interventions.
- According to our several case studies of piles, it is apparent that, often one or more of the Doshas may be aggravated. Hence, we focus to remove the root cause of the piles. In this regard, we recommend following certain foods and lifestyle habits that help in maintaining the balance of the Tridoshas..
As mentioned in Ayurveda, derangement in Agni (metabolism) is the basic cause of Arsha. We, at ND Care Nirogam Pvt. Ltd., provide "Deepaniya Dravyas" and "Shrotoshodhak Dravyas" as natural remedies for treating piles. The "Deepaniya Dravyas" enhance digestion to prevent accumulation of toxins (Ama) by increasing the Agni (digestive fire) and the "Shrotoshodhak Dravyas" help in clearing the Malas (waste) of the body.

What are Piles?
Piles are ordinary anatomical parts of the human body which are located at the junction of small arteries and veins. In physiological terms, piles are the accumulation of inflamed and swollen tissues/enlarged blood vessels in anal canal (smooth muscles). Such inflamed tissues often contain blood vessels, elastic fibers, muscle, and support tissue. Piles can appear in a range of sizes along with internal or external presence. The internal piles are located up to 2 - 4 (cm) above (pectinate line) the anal opening whereas, the external piles can occur on the outer edge of the anal opening.
Piles are classified into four grades/classes
Grade I Piles: Grade-I piles are characterized by non-visible smaller inflammations on the inner anal lining and bleeding (Hematochezia) is the only sign of their presence.
Grade II Piles: Grade II piles are non-visible bigger inflammations of inner anal lining and may get pushed out during defecation.
Grade III Piles: Grade III piles are also known as prolapsed hemorrhoids and are visible (outside the anal sphincter) bigger inflammations.
Grade IV Piles: Grade IV piles are bigger inflammations that need treatment and often remain outside of the anus. These lumps are very itchy and can also be painful (a condition known as thrombosis) in the case of a blood clot development. In this case, bleeding is common after passing a stool.
