CLINICAL EVALUATION OF MAHANIMBA BEEJ CHURNA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF RAKTARSHA

Abstract

Arsha i.e. Hemorrhoids its name is itself self explanatory to prove its gravity as per as anorectal diseases Are concerned.Means arsha is so embarrassing disease to human being that it may become fatal in its terminal stage if you ignore it. That’s why it is included in Ashta mahagada in ayurveda.The disease Arsha presents with many signs and symptoms.The foremost of which is bleeding per rectum. Rather bleeding per rectum is one of the hallmark of the disease Arsha. These bleeding piles are known in Ayurveda broadly as Raktarsha.As there are number of patients of Raktarsha who don’t want any invasive method for treatment I took this subject for my research, a study conducted on 60 patients of Raktarsha. 60 patients were divided into two groups: Experimental group and Control group. Experimental group is treated with Mahanimb beej churna and Control group treated with Nagkeshar churna over period of 45 days. Results drown by applying statistical test to the observed data. Thus by observing the total effect of therapy of the drugs it can be concluded that Mahanimb beej churna is slightly more effective than the Nagkeshar churna in the conservative management of Raktarsha.
