How to Heal Fistula Naturally with Ayurvedic Treatment

As defined in Ayurveda, the condition which is anal fistula is referred to as “Bhagandara.” This painful and uncomfortable condition disrupts people in their normal lives. An abnormal channel exists between anal canal and the skin in and around the area of anus. Most often, an abnormal communication is set up mainly because of anal glands being infected and abscess formation, then liquefaction and spontaneous draining through a fistula to the skin’s surface. Surgery, as modern medicine recommends, is giving way to natural healing through ayurvedic treatment methods in the long-term solution such as holistic treatment for this kind of condition.

At Anocure, our aim is to provide effective and holistic ayurvedic non-surgical treatment for anal fistula, which uses natural methods that are minimally uncomfortable but long-term in taking care of the patients’ wellbeing.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Ayurvedic treatment can help heal fistula naturally—without the need for invasive surgery.

Understanding Fistula Through the Lens of Ayurveda

Diseases are just imbalances of the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha as per Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical science of healing. An imbalance of Vata and Pitta is the reason for the formation of abscesses in the place of a fistula because the digestive system does not function properly since one goes through constipation, which eventually leads to abscess formation.

Ayurvedic works like Sushruta Samhita mention Bhagandara along with the descriptions as well as treatment modalities, emphasizing on natural, herbal, and minimally invasive techniques.

Symptoms of Anal Fistula

Before going to treatments, one should first know the symptoms. The principal signs to look out for, which would certainly tell about anal fistula, include the following: 

• Pain around anus especially at the time of sitting or when the stool passes 

• Swelling and soreness
• There might be pus or blood discharges from the anus 
• Itching or irritation near the anal opening 
• Recurrent abscess/boils 

If one observes any of the symptoms, early diagnosis under the aegis of Ayurveda will prevent complication and facilitation of natural healing.

Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Fistula

Ayurveda is an actual multi-faceted holistic approach to the root cause of syndromes restoration into healing. There are a total of three essential pillars of Ayurvedic therapy for fistula:

1. Kshar Sutra Therapy

Kshar Sutra is a specific type of Ayurvedic para-surgical procedure in which a medicated thread coated with herbal alkaline substances like Apamarga Kshara, Haridra (turmeric), and Snuhi latex, inserted through the fistula tract, cuts, cures and heals the tissue over a period of time.

Benefits: 

• Minimal Pain
• No Hospital Stay
• Low risk of recurrence
• Natural wound healing

2. Herbal Remedies

Indeed, several Ayurvedic herbs wield a phenomenal power of healing wounds and act as effective anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents; hence, they can conveniently help in the natural management of an anal fistula.

• Triphala: Detoxifying and indigestion preparation.
• Neem (Azadirachta indica): Nature’s Antibiotic.
• Haridra (Turmeric): Anti-inflammatory, Infective fighting.
• Guggulu: It is also said to have anti-inflammatory properties.
• Aloe Vera: Healing and soothes the digestive tract.

However, Ayurveda practitioners typically advise patients to take these through oral and topical means by means of medicated oils and pastes.

3. Basti (Medicated Enema) 

Basti therapy is a part of the detoxification scheme under Panchakarma that aims at the cleansing of toxins from the colon and balancing the Vata dosha. The treatment is very effective in relieving constipation, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue healing.

4. Diet and Lifestyle Modifications

Ayurveda has given utmost importance to food (Aahar) and lifestyle (Vihar) for curing any disease. Patients suffering from the fistula should now:

• Take a fiber-rich diet including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Avoid spicy foods, oily foods, or even processed items.
• Drink a lot of warm water to avoid constipation.
• Avoid prolonged sitting.
• Do gentle yoga and pranayama to help improve digestion and circulation.

Home Remedies for Quick Recovery

Important ayurvedic treatment are sure home remedies for recovering: 

• Warm Sitz Bath: soaking in warm water decreases pain as well as helps drain.

• Turmeric Milk: A glass of hot milk just before bed with a spoonful of turmeric will relieve inflammation.

• Castor Oil Packs: Warm topical application may relieve pain and swelling when applied with castor oil.

• Fenugreek Seeds: Soaked seeds help digestion and reduce inflammation.

When Should One Approach an Ayurvedic Specialist?

Ayurvedic treatment does more good than bad in most cases, but there are exceptions such as fistula cases that require more intervention. If one has worsening or constant symptoms, the Ayurvedic physician must analyze all the patient variables: personal constitution (Prakriti) and individual treatment options: kshar sutra, etc.
