In Telugu, hemorrhoids are referred to as "Piles" (పైల్స్). In Ayurveda, hemorrhoids are considered a manifestation of an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas, leading to inflammation, pain, and swelling in the affected area. Ayurvedic treatments for hemorrhoids aim to reduce inflammation, soothe the digestive system, and improve circulation. Triphala, Aloe Vera, and Witch Hazel are commonly used; Triphala helps regulate bowel movements and reduce constipation, while Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the swelling and pain. Additionally, a diet rich in fiber, hydration, and easily digestible foods, along with lifestyle practices such as regular exercise, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and sitting in a warm sitz bath, can support healing. It is important to be cautious with harsh treatments, as they may irritate the sensitive area. Always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure proper treatment and avoid potential side effects, especially for individuals with specific sensitivities.
