Shalya Tantra: The Surgical Wing of Ayurveda

Shalya Tantra is not just ancient surgery; it is a well-developed, holistic approach to surgical care using Ayurveda’s principles. It combines classical surgical wisdom with modern-day relevance, particularly in minor surgeries, pain management, wound care, and anorectal treatments.
At Healing Earth, we are proud to have a dedicated and fully operational Shalya Tantra Department, functioning as a vital pillar of our integrative Ayurvedic healthcare model. This department specializes in Ayurvedic surgery and para-surgical interventions, blending classical knowledge with modern surgical protocols for safe, effective, and holistic healing.

Para-surgical Procedures (Anushastra Karma):

Ksharasutra therapy is used for treating fistula-in-ano, pilonidal sinus, and piles. Agnikarma helps manage musculoskeletal disorders, pain, and varicose veins, while Raktamokshana (bloodletting) is effective for skin issues, hypertension, and joint pain. Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) aids in healing chronic wounds, varicose ulcers, and inflammatory conditions.

Non-Invasive and Minimally Invasive Surgeries:

Ayurveda offers effective management for piles, fissures, and fistulas through natural therapies. It also provides wound care, abscess drainage, and treatment for sinus, ulcers, and soft tissue swellings. Supportive Ayurvedic protocols aid in faster pre- and post-operative healing

Fracture and Dislocation Care (Bhagna Chikitsa):

Ayurvedic bone setting involves traditional techniques for aligning fractures and dislocations. Bandhana (splinting and immobilization) is used to support and stabilize the injured area. Herbal lepa (pastes) and internal medicines aid in pain relief and promote bone healing.

 Expert Leadership
Our Shalya Tantra Department is headed by highly qualified and well-experienced Ayurvedic surgeons, trained in both traditional Shalya Tantra and modern surgical advancements. Their expertise ensures that every patient receives precision care, from diagnosis to post-operative management.

Pilonidal Sinus

An Ayurvedic Perspective and Healing Earth’s Expertise

A pilonidal sinus is a small cyst or tunnel in the skin that usually forms near the tailbone, often affecting young males. This condition is commonly caused by ingrown hair and is aggravated by prolonged sitting, obesity, excessive hair growth in the lower back, and sedentary lifestyles. It is sometimes referred to as "jeep bottom" due to its frequent occurrence among long-distance drivers.

Common Symptoms Include:

Ayurvedic Understanding: Nadivrana and Ksharasutra Therapy

In Ayurveda, Pilonidal Sinus is closely correlated with Nadivrana, a type of chronic sinus or tract. The traditional and highly effective Ayurvedic para surgical procedure known as Ksharasutra Therapy is widely used to manage this condition.

Ksharasutra involves the use of a specially prepared medicated thread that is inserted into the sinus tract. It works by gradually cutting, draining, and healing the sinus, while promoting tissue regeneration. The therapy is minimally invasive, causes minimal tissue damage, leaves negligible scarring, and offers significantly lower recurrence rates compared to conventional surgical methods.

Healing Earth’s Approach to Pilonidal Sinus

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, we combine classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostic approaches to provide a comprehensive and personalized treatment for pilonidal sinus.

Our team of experienced Ayurvedic surgeons and physicians are trained in Ksharasutra therapy, ensuring precision, safety, and long-term relief. Each patient is also guided with dietary, lifestyle, and hygiene recommendations to support healing and prevent recurrence.

Fistula-in-Ano

An Ayurvedic Breakthrough in Treatment

Fistula-in-ano is a distressing condition marked by an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the surrounding skin. Often originating from an untreated abscess or infection near the anus, it results in chronic discharge, pain, and irritation. Patients commonly experience persistent discomfort, pus or blood-stained discharge, and soiling of undergarments—symptoms that can significantly impair quality of life.

Ayurvedic Perspective: Recognized Among the Ashta Mahagadas

In Ayurveda, fistula-in-ano is identified as Bhagandara, one of the Ashta Mahagadas (eight major diseases), due to its complexity and resistance to standard treatments. It is often linked to improper digestion, unhealthy dietary habits, and a sedentary lifestyle, which aggravate the doshas and lead to the formation of the fistulous tract.

Conventional surgical treatments frequently carry a high risk of recurrence and complications such as incontinence. In contrast, Ayurveda offers a safer, minimally invasive, and highly effective solution through Ksharasutra Therapy.

Ksharasutra: A Trusted Ayurvedic Para-surgical Technique

Ksharasutra is a medicated thread therapy that has demonstrated a success rate of over 93% in managing fistula-in-ano. The specially prepared herbal thread is inserted into the fistulous tract, where it gradually cuts through the unhealthy tissue, drains infection, and facilitates natural healing from within—without harming the sphincter muscles or causing major scarring.

Healing Earth’s Expertise in Fistula Care

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, our specialized team of Ayurvedic surgeons provides evidence-based Ksharasutra therapy tailored to each patient’s condition. The hospital follows strict protocols for diagnosis, procedure, hygiene, and post-treatment care to ensure long-term results with minimal recurrence.

Anal Fissure

A Painful Condition with Effective Ayurvedic Relief

An anal fissure is a small tear or wound in the lining of the anal canal, often resulting in intense pain, burning, and bleeding during or after bowel movements. Due to the dense concentration of nerve endings in this region, the discomfort can be severe—often more than that caused by other anorectal disorders.

Anal fissures are common across all age groups, especially in young adults, children, and postnatal women. It is estimated to affect 10–15% of the population, with equal prevalence among men and women.

Common Causes:

Types of Anal Fissures:

  1. Acute Fissure – Appears suddenly with pain, bleeding, and tenderness; may heal with
    conservative care.
  2. Chronic Fissure – Persists over time, often accompanied by a sentinel skin tag; can
    lead to complications like abscess or fistula if left untreated.

Ayurvedic Management at Healing Earth

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, we offer time-tested Ayurvedic therapies that provide safe, gentle, and effective relief from both acute and chronic anal fissures:
  • Tailapoorana (Medicated Oil Infiltration): Helps soothe the mucosa, reduce
    inflammation, and promote rapid healing in acute cases.
  • Ksharakarma (Herbal Cauterization): Recommended for chronic fissures; this
    minimally invasive procedure aids in tissue regeneration and prevents recurrence.
  • Supportive Care: Personalized guidance on diet, hydration, bowel regulation, and
    lifestyle practices to ease symptoms and prevent reoccurrence.

Haemorrhoids (Piles)

Safe and Effective Ayurvedic Treatment

Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen or inflamed veins in the anal and
rectal region that can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and bleeding—especially during bowel
movements. By the age of 50, nearly 50% of individuals are likely to experience this
condition. Factors such as sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary habits, chronic constipation, and
pregnancy significantly contribute to its occurrence.

Types of Hemorrhoids:

  • External Hemorrhoids: Painful, often with swelling and irritation around the anus.
  • Internal Hemorrhoids: Usually painless but may lead to bleeding or prolapse.

Common Causes:

Ayurvedic Approach at Healing Earth

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, we offer comprehensive, root-cause- oriented treatment for haemorrhoids using time-tested Ayurvedic therapies. Our approach is holistic, minimally invasive, and tailored to each individual’s condition.

Varicose Veins

Ayurvedic Management for Lasting Relief

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins—commonly appearing in the legs—caused by poor blood circulation and weakened vein walls or valves. They often present with aching, heaviness, cramping, swelling, and visible bluish or purplish veins. In advanced cases, they may lead to skin changes, ulcers, or bleeding.

This condition is increasingly common, especially among individuals who stand for prolonged periods, lead sedentary lifestyles, or are overweight. Women, older adults, and pregnant individuals are particularly at risk.

Common Symptoms :

Causes and Risk Factors:

Ayurvedic Approach at Healing Earth

In Ayurveda, varicose veins are associated with Siragata Vata, a condition where vitiated Vata dosha affects the veins, leading to improper blood flow and vein distension. At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, our expert team offers holistic and non-surgical solutions to manage and reverse the symptoms of varicose veins.

Varicose Ulcers

Ayurvedic Healing for Chronic Wounds

Varicose ulcers, also known as venous leg ulcers, are chronic, non-healing wounds that typically develop around the lower leg or ankle due to long-standing varicose veins and poor venous circulation. These ulcers are often painful, prone to infection, and may persist for weeks or even months if not treated properly.

They are more common in older adults, especially those with a history of untreated varicose veins, prolonged standing, obesity, or vascular disorders.

Common Symptoms :

Underlying Causes:

Ayurvedic Perspective and Healing at Healing Earth

In Ayurveda, varicose ulcers are linked to Dushta Vrana (chronic wound) and Siragata Vata (vitiated Vata affecting veins). The approach focuses on detoxification, wound cleansing, tissue regeneration, and circulation improvement, offering sustainable and holistic healing.

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, we provide individualized treatment plans using time-tested Ayurvedic therapies for effective management of varicose ulcers.

Diabetic Wounds

Holistic Ayurvedic Care for Difficult-to-Heal Ulcers

Diabetic wounds, especially foot ulcers, are a common and serious complication of uncontrolled diabetes. Due to poor blood circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and delayed immune response, even minor cuts or blisters can turn into chronic, non-healing ulcers. If left untreated, diabetic wounds can lead to severe infections and, in extreme cases, amputation.

These wounds are often painless, which makes early detection difficult, and are more prevalent in individuals with long-standing or poorly managed diabetes.

Common Symptoms :

Underlying Causes:

At Healing Earth Multi-Specialty Ayurveda Hospital, we offer specialized Ayurvedic wound care that addresses both the local wound and the underlying diabetic condition.
