Parikartika is one of the most painful and commonest condition in Gudagata Vikaras affecting majority of the population in modern world. Acharya’s have explained it as one among the Vamana Virechana Vyapat and Bastivyapat. It is caused by Sthana Samshraya of vitiated Vata & Pitta Dosha’s in Gudapradesh, leading to Kartanavat Vedana and Daha in Gudapradesh. It can be correlated to fissure-in-ano based on signs and symptoms. Fissure-in-ano is an elongated ulcer in longitudinal axis of lower anal canal associated with constipation, severe pain & burning sensation during defecation and bright red bleeding, and treatment modalities include pain killers, application of local anaesthetics, sphincterotomy and fissurectomy. In the Chikitsa of Parikartika, Acharyas have mentioned Madhura, Kashaya Rasa Sneha Yukta Dravya’s in the form of Piccha Basti, Anuvasana Basti, Pichu, Varti & Lepa, which pacifies Vata and Pitta Dosha’s.
