Hemorrhoids (Piles) Treatment in Ayurveda

The first and foremost thing to understand is that there is nothing embarrassing about Hemorrhoids or Piles. It is as simple a disease as fever or sinus. Most of the people create a stigma out of Piles and end up bearing both the pain as well as the suffocation of not discussing it with the right person or expert Vaidya. Ayurveda has a cure for every disease and Piles is no exception. However, you must approach the Ayurvedic practitioner or any doctor you trust for the treatment of the same. There is no point keeping a secret of a disease like Piles which would get worsen if you do not avail the right treatment.

Ayurveda names the problem of piles as Arsha which happens because of vein in the anal region of the body growing larger in size than normal. Piles or Hemorrhoids are common among people that have a busy lifestyle and little to no space for a balanced diet. It may also be very common among pregnant women. Piles, by definition, is actually a bunch of veins around the anus. These surround the external opening and may start to protrude because of over straining.

The most common reasons for that are constipation and pregnancy. This condition might become a disease called piles or Hemorrhoids. An individual is said to be suffering from piles or Hemorrhoids when the anal opening gets irritated, inflamed and swollen due to the dilated or swollen veins around the rectum.

Ayurveda and Piles

The very first symptom of piles is the pain you experience in the rectal region accompanied by some skin irritation. If the pain continues to increase and you start noticing some blood with your stools, it is a sure shot sign that you are suffering from Hemorrhoids.

Ayurveda is that branch of life science which can help you provide relief in pains and problem of piles.
