Ksharasutra therapy for fistula in ano (bagandara)

fistula in ano with ksharasutra

Time Tested Treatment for 
Fistula-in-Ano

Fistula-in-ano is a condition which has been recognized as a difficult surgical disease in all the ancient and modern medical sciences of the world. It is the recurrent nature of this disease which makes it difficult for treatment.

Fistuta-in-ano.- This is a track lined by granulation tissue which opens deeply in the anal canal or rectum and superficially on the skin around the anus. Sometimes the track does not open into the anal canal or rectum, when it should better be called a 'sinus'. Mostly these fistulae develop from ano-rectal abscess which burst spontaneously or was incised inadequately. An anal fistula may occur with or without symptoms. A history of intermittent swelling with pain, discomfort and discharge in the perianal region can often be obtained. Inspection and palpation usually delineate the course and nature of the fistula.

Ksharasutra treatment 

The Ksharsutra is a type of thread / medicated seton prepared by coating the thread  with the Kshara (the ash obtained by the burning of various herbs) like Apamarga kshar, Arka kshar etc  and Snuhi kshira. Apart from this, natural antibiotic like haridra powder, guggulu, etc are also used to make Ksharasutra. The thread is then sterilized by UV light. The mechanical action of the threads and the chemical action of the drugs coated , collectively do the work of cutting, curetting, draining, and cleaning the fistulous track, thus promoting healing of the track/ wound. This also acts both as the antiseptic and fibrotic agent to induce the healing. The process of healing starts from deeper tissues & travels towards periphery. This can be applied and changed periodically till the thread cuts the fistulous tract. Since the sphincter heals by fibrosis, there is no incontinence.

The various studies denots that Ksharasutra therapy is time tested treatment for fistula in ano because of its non recurrence. One study denoted that seton therapy is less  superior and less effective than the ayurvedic  caustic ligature. (Kshara sutra) 1997 Mohite JD   Seton therapy is effective than the modern surgical procedures like fistulectomy and fistulotomy 2002    A. Theerapol, BY in Singapore medical journal. So the only treatments that available now for fistula in ano is fistulectomy and fistulotomy, but it is less effective than ayurvedic ksharasutra therapy. The Ayurvedic kshara sutra is more effective than  seton, fistulotomy and fistulectomy because the following complications are never seen in any of the ksharsutra therapy given patients.

MARMA THERAPY

Definition.
In Ayurvedic literature is concerned the term marma as ‘Jeevasthana’. Vital spot, vulnerable points, any secret of mystery, the care of anything etc. are the few word meanings of the ‘marma’.
During Vedic periods knowledge of marma was known to king and warriors. It was applied in battlefields to hit and achieve maximum fatal effect against their enemies. There for it can assume that this science was used both in warfare and surgery. Due to this crisis the exact meaning of the ‘marma’, and it s applied aspect are not fully developed or not spreaded to all generation.
Marmas are also said to be composed of above said six elements such as soma, marutha, teja, satwa, raja, and tamas. Etymologically it is said to be each letter of the word marma has got a significant meaning ‘ma’ means prana or vayu, the repha indicates house or seat. Hence the word marma means seat of vayu or prana.
As per marma sastra the combination of sakthi and jada (mortal and immortal) results in life. As per the meaning of ‘pranayatanakendra’ the prana circulates more and hence it is termed as marma.
During injury to marma, the doshas are vitiated in the surrounding areas of marma. The aggravated dosha, vata produces severe pain and blockade in the free movements of prana vayu and vyana vayu.the main function of vyana vayu is to regulate the free movements of nutrients to all the tissues of the body. when this is blocked all the body system suffer due to the lack of nutrition and free flow of ‘prana’ leading to diseases or death.
Acharya charaka explain that in the view of patho-physiologically Marmas are the centers of chaithanya hence the functional abnormality in their centers will be, more sever we when composed to other parts.
According to Acharya Vagbata wherever irregular pulsation and pain felt on pressure or trauma that location called marma.
Again Sushruta explain the Marmas are a conglomeration of mamsa (muscle), sira (arteries/vein), asthi (bones), snayu (nerves) and sandhi (joints) where prana is specially associated. Trauma to there structure will result in irreversible damage. The above statements clearly help in serving a conclusion that there are certain very vital anatomical, path physiological point in the body which are having a secret and significant life values and they are composed of nerves, muscle, blood vessels, joints ligaments and bones. it is not necessary that all structures should not present collectively at a time for the composition of marma.
In the other word the Marmas are basically constituted by six vital elements namely soma, marutha, teja, satwa, raja, and tama. The marma sthanas are the seat of soma (sleshma) marutha (vata) teja (pitha) and three psychic humors (mental forces) raja, tama and satwa.other than there is the supreme power within the marma sthana is bhutatma.this is the force which controls the body and mind.

The traditional system of medicine that includes marma therapy and kalari chikitsa is very much correlated with sports medicine.
