Abstract: Arsha (Hemorrhoids) is a common anorectal disorder described in Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. In the present era, the lifestyle of people has changed drastically. Most individuals prefer junk food and fast food rather than healthy Satvika Ahara, which was previously considered an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Consumption of non-satvik food, fast food, and junk food has become a major contributing factor to various health problems. One of the common consequences of such dietary habits is constipation, which can further lead to the development of hemorrhoids. Arsha is characterized by the formation of fleshy masses in the anal region and is commonly associated with symptoms such as bleeding per rectum, pain, constipation, and the presence of pile masses. From the modern medical perspective, hemorrhoids occur due to dilatation and inflammation of the hemorrhoidal venous plexus. The present clinical case study evaluates the therapeutic effect of Triphala Guggulu administered orally and Suranadi Lepa applied locally in a 50-year-old male patient suffering from Arsha (Hemorrhoids). After the course of treatment, significant improvement was observed in symptoms such as bleeding, pain, constipation, and the number and size of hemorrhoidal masses. The results of this case study suggest that the combined use of Triphala Guggulu and Suranadi Lepa can be beneficial in the management of Arsha by reducing symptoms and improving patient comfort. 1223-1234
