Ayurveda For Piles
Piles or haemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen collection of tissues and veins in the a**l area.
In Ayurveda, piles are referred to as ‘arsh’ which means enemy, implying that this disease is as harmful as an ‘enemy’ if left untreated.
Causes
According to Ayurveda, Piles occur when vaat, pitt, kapha get ‘prakupit’ or provoked due to factors like –
1. Excessive intake of spicy and oily food.
2. Sedentary lifestyle
3. Lack of exercise
4. Sitting in same position for long hours.
5. Indigestion
6. Constipation
Treatment
*Piles can be fully treated through Ayurveda. Some of the important herbs which are used in the treatment are- Neem (Azadirachta Indica), Jamun(Eugenia Jambolana), Kiker(Acacia Arabica), Chhoti Harade(Terminalia Chebula), Nagkeshar (Mesua Ferrea).
*These herbs possess anti-inflammatory properties and prevent gastro-intestinal diseases.
*Herbs like jamun can control bleeding, Harad works on the digestive system and other herbs improve appetite and thus help in ‘deepan’ and ‘paachan’ .
*Thus, Piles can be cured by maintaining the balance of the three doshas in our body .
* Re-occurrence of haemmorieds can be treated using a unique combination of the above mentioned herbs.
* Healthy dietary habits (fibre rich diet) and a good amount of daily exercise can help in curing this disease completely.
