Abstract

Background: Haemorrhoids, affecting 20-50% of the global population, significantly impact healthcare systems. In India, the prevalence is nearly 75%, exacerbated by inadequate preventive measures. This study explores the efficacy of Ayurvedic management for haemorrhoids, integrating dietary and herbal interventions to reduce incidence and severity. Material: Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita recommend dietary modifications and herbal remedies, emphasizing high-fiber foods and avoidance of vitiating factors. Result: The research evaluates a standardized dietary regimen in-corporating Ayurvedic and modern nutritional principles, focusing on fiber intake, hydration, and the role of herbs like Amalaki, Surana, Punarnava and Triphala. Methodology includes a review of dietary articles and development of a master chart for clinical and household use, aligned with Ayurvedic principles. Conclusion: Findings suggest that a holistic dietary approach, combining Ayurvedic practices with modern nutrition, offers an effective strategy for managing haemorrhoids.
