Ayurveda the “Science of Life”and it is considered as ‘Mother of all healing’. Ayurveda has given the perfect way to live which guarantees a disease free healthy and long life. An important branch of ayurveda ‘Kayachikitsa’ is rich in many aspects of contemporary medicinal treatment. In this Acharya Charaka, the father of medicine, has given the ‘Sukhad Chikitsa’ for arshavyadhi in detaile. Arsha also known as Hemorrhoids, a common and often debilitating condition, have been a subject of concern throughout history. Charak Samhita advises that the management of Arsha Vyadhi should include a combination of dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and herbal treatments to address the underlying causes and provide relief from the symptoms. It emphasizes the importance of balancing the doshas, particularly pitta and vata, for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids. With this acharya Charaka has given a uniue siddhant termed as “Karmaviparita Siddhanta” in which he advised to treat patient with frequently and alternately use of drugs and diet having opposite properties. This siddhanta emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet that encompasses a variety of tastes, including sweet and sour, and qualities, such as cooling and warming properties. This balance in diet is considered crucial in Ayurveda to maintain overall health and prevent disorders like hemorrhoids.
