Piles Care: Gentle Ayurvedic Relief

Piles ('Arsha') in Ayurveda arise from weak digestive fire and straining — long sitting, low-fibre diets and chronic constipation are the modern triggers. Early grades respond very well to herbs; late grades need procedures.

A sensible early plan: • Pilonid tablets or capsules twice daily with milk — shrinks pile masses and controls bleeding and itching • Keep stools soft — Nidlax at bedtime or Triphala with warm water so straining never happens • Sitz baths with warm water twice daily, and avoid spicy, fried food and alcohol

Most first and second degree piles settle in 2-4 weeks with this routine. Bleeding that soaks the toilet water, a lump that cannot be reduced, or weight loss with altered bowel habit needs a proctologist's examination — do not keep self-treating.
