Abstract

Dusparsakadi Kashayam is a classic ayurvedic herbal formulation for the treatment of piles (hemorrhoids). The Kashayam works by balancing the body's Doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, which play a crucial role in the development of hemorrhoids. This article describes the benefits of Dhusparsakadi Kashayam, which consists of five powerful ingredients such as Dushparsha, Bilwa, Yavani, Nagara and Patha, known for their therapeutic effects in managing piles. This article explores the preparation, physicochemical properties, phytochemistry, Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and therapeutic benefits of Dusparsakadi Kashayam. The presence of sugar, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids are responsible to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and support digestive health. It highlights its natural and effective potential as a remedy for individuals suffering from Arśas (piles). This scientific research on Dusparsakadi Kashayam will facilitate further studies on its clinical and pharmacological aspects.
