Kshara-sutra is a special Ayurvedic treatment, which was developed recently. There is however very little thoughts on kshara-sutra as medicated threads in Sushruta Samhita and Bhavprakasha. The specific treatment is used to cure anal fistula and piles. There are also researches going on to develop similar treatments for almost all kinds of skin diseases.
Kshar literally means ash. In kshara-sutra, a thread is coated with Ayurvedic herbs 14 to 21 times. Kshar or kshara means a substance with alkaline (basic) properties. Each coating has different medicines and ash (kshar) of Ayurvedic herbs. The threads thus prepared are applied to the pile mass area. There is complete medication for all the tissues of the area. When there are excess fibrous tissues, the cutting rate can slow down. In normal cases, it will cut through unwanted tissues at 1 cm (one cm) per week.
There are several advantages for Kshar-sutra over surgical procedures. The first among them is the little time required for hospitalization. There are no bleeding or painful dressings after the therapy. Another benefit is the very low recurring rate of 2%, which is minimal when compared to surgical procedure. The medicines coated in the thread heal the tissue completely. There will also be no big scars left after the procedure.
