Piles

In Ayurveda, piles (hemorrhoids) are known as "Arsha" or "Arshas".

Causes of Piles (Arsha) in Ayurveda

1. Poor digestion: Weak digestive fire (Agni) leads to the formation of toxins (Ama).
2. Constipation: Infrequent bowel movements cause straining during defecation.
3. Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of physical activity contributes to stagnation of blood and toxins.
4. Dietary factors: Consuming spicy, sour, or pungent foods can exacerbate piles.

Types of Piles (Arsha) in Ayurveda
1. Vata-type piles: Dry, hard, and painful piles due to Vata imbalance.
2. Pitta-type piles: Inflamed, red, and bleeding piles due to Pitta imbalance.
3. Kapha-type piles: Soft, swollen, and painful piles due to Kapha imbalance.
Dietary modification and
Lifestyle changes along with Medicines play a vital role in treatment of piles.
