Kshar karma- क्षार कर्म

Kshar Karma is one of the best para-surgical procedures described in Ayurveda.

Acharya Sushruta described it in detail in Sutra Sthana declaring it best among the surgical and para-surgical instruments due to its chhedya (excisive), bhedya (incisive), lekhya (scrapping) and other medicinal properties.

Owing to these, it is thus, widely used in wound healing, fistulae, haemorrhoids and anorectal diseases, to name a few.

However, Kshar Karma has a wide range of diseases, forms and variety in which it can be used in different modalities.

It is time to extend the horizons of Kshar Karma in other avenues as well.

It is tridoshaghna and can be used orally in various diseases.

It can provide with a cost- efficient and time saving mode of treatment with least adverse effects.

Ayurveda has been a science of healing since ages.

Ayurveda follows a non-invasive approach as a treatment protocol until and unless otherwise is the only option.

Thus, there are procedures told by the Ayurveda not only medicinal but also para-surgical to reduce the agony and pain of the sufferer and avoid invasive surgeries without compromising with the effects.

One such procedure is Kshar Karma which is considered one of the best among all surgical or para surgical modalities due to properties favoring early healing.
