Ayurvedic Parasurgical procedures refer to the surgical procedure performed without any surgical instruments. They play a major role in fighting and combating and fighting the chronic diseases. Chikittsa Wellness Thane, one of the leading Health care companies highlights that Ksharasutra Therapy is one of the most effective Ayurvedic Parasurgical techniques. Sushruta, the great Indian surgeon has emphasized the benefits of this therapy and its use in treating various anorectal diseases, in his work ‘Sushrut Samhita’.
The Kshar Sutra therapy is based on a specially prepared thread (Kshar Sutra) which is used in this technique to cure diseases. The disease is eliminated from the body using the Kshar Sutra which acts by "Herbal Chemical Cauterization". A number of Ayurvedic doctors recommend this treatment for curing fistula in ano and other anorectal diseases. The basic requirements for the kshar sutra therapy include- a thread (Surgical Linen thread of size 20), Latex of Euphorbia neriifolia, Haridra (Curcuma longa) and Apamarg Kshar (Achyranthus aspera).
The thread used in the Kshar Sutra therapy is prepared by manually coating the surgical linen thread eleven times with the latex of Euphorbia neriifolia. It is then layered with seven coatings of the latex and the alkaline powder of Achyranthus aspera. The thread is dried and then covered with three coatings of latex and powder of Curcuma longa in the last stage. It is sterilized by ultra violet radiation and put in a polythene bag or glass tube.

• They should consume fiber containing diet & vegetables with plenty of water.
• The food which leads to constipation should be avoided.
