ABSTRACT

Acharya Sushruta first mentioned Ksharasutra in the treatment of Nadi Vrana (sinus), Bhagandara (fistula in Ano), Arbuda (Benign tumor) etc. One of the essential Components of this thread used early. Collection becomes more difficult in summer, so preparation is possible only in limited Seasons. In few cases, the intensity is so severe that the patients discontinue the therapy. To overcome these problems, several researches have been carried out. The researchers are based on searching for the drugs having better actions and acceptability than that of Snuhi latex and Apamarga kshara. These drugs should be having binding property on thread, easy availability in bulk, less irritant (sheet veerya), having vrana shohak and vranaropakara properties, having anti-septic and anti-inflammatory activities, and additional beneficial action.
