Fistula-in-ano is a chronic and recurring anorectal disorder. In Ayurveda, it is referred
as Bhagandara, one of the AshtaMahagada1. In bhagandara, Apamarga Ksharsutra is traditionally
used for its effective cauterizing and healing properties7, patients often experience discomfort,
pain, and irritation. The present study explores the use of Aragvadhadi Ksharsutra, a formulation
made from Aragvadha, Haridra, Aguru, Madhu, and Ghrita, as a less irritating, more patient-
friendly alternative in the treatment of fistula-in-ano.10
