Abstract	Ayurveda is not merely a system of medicine, but a timeless wisdom that harmonizes the rhythm of life with the laws of nature. It serves as a profound bridge between ancient healing traditions and the quest for holistic well-being, offering a sanctuary of health through balance and conscious living. Arsha (Haemorrhoids) is a common anorectal condition described in Ayurveda as a Mahagada due to its difficult nature and high recurrence rate. Among the four lines of treatment—Bheshaja (Medical), Kshara (Causal application), Agni (Cautery), and Shastra (Surgery)—Ksharkarma is considered superior because it performs the functions of excision and healing simultaneously. Palasha Pratisarneeya Kshar, derived from the ash of Butea monosperma (Palasha), represents a traditional Ayurvedic para-surgical intervention primarily used in Ksharakarma for managing Raktarsha (Bleeding haemorrhoids). This review article synthesizes classical references and contemporary studies on its preparation, properties, therapeutic applications as Kshar Lepa, and efficacy in reducing pile mass size through actions like Chedana, Bhedana, Lekhana, Shodhana, and Ropana properties with early haemostasis and total eradication of infection.
