The field of Ayurvedic medicine welcomes an important new contribution with the release of Comprehensive Ayurvedic Prescription Handbook on ANO-RECTAL DISEASES authored by Dr. Pramod Chandra Dwivedi, Dr. Anjali Goyal, and Dr. Devesh Kumar Tiwari. This valuable handbook is designed to address one of the most common and challenging groups of disorders encountered in surgical and outpatient clinical practice—ano-rectal diseases.
Conditions such as Arsha (hemorrhoids), Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano), Parikartika (fissure), and Gudavidradhi (abscess) are known to cause pain, discomfort, embarrassment, and prolonged suffering. These disorders often affect the daily life and emotional well-being of patients, making timely and effective treatment essential. Recognizing this need, the authors have developed a practical and comprehensive resource that combines the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda with modern clinical understanding.
Rooted in the principles of Sushruta Samhita, the foundational text of Ayurvedic surgery, the book offers an in-depth understanding of the causes, pathology, classification, and management of ano-rectal disorders. It highlights classical and highly effective para-surgical procedures such as Kshara Karma and Kshara Sutra, which continue to hold great relevance in present-day practice. At the same time, the book acknowledges the importance of modern diagnostics, ensuring a balanced and integrated treatment approach.
One of the most remarkable features of this handbook is its structured coverage of 150 ano-rectal conditions in a clinically useful format. Each condition is presented with Ayurvedic correlation, symptomatology, evidence-based prescriptions, Pathya-Apathya (dietary guidance), investigations, and possible complications. This practical arrangement makes it an ideal ready reference for physicians, students, and researchers alike.
The emphasis on evidence-based prescriptions and day-to-day treatment protocols enables practitioners to confidently implement Ayurvedic principles in both OPD and IPD settings. It is especially useful for recurrent and chronic cases, where holistic management involving Dosha balance, Agni correction, and Srotas purification plays a crucial role.
In an era where patients increasingly seek natural, sustainable, and effective healthcare solutions, this book serves as a bridge between ancient Ayurvedic knowledge and modern medical expectations. It encourages wider adoption of Ayurveda in ano-rectal disease management and supports a patient-centered healing model.
Comprehensive Ayurvedic Prescription Handbook on ANO-RECTAL DISEASES is more than a textbook—it is a practical clinical companion and an academic milestone. Through this publication, the authors have made a meaningful contribution to the advancement of Ayurvedic surgery and therapeutics, offering a resource that will benefit practitioners and patients for years to come.
