Ayurveda is often called as “Mother of All Healing”. Parikartika is an Ano rectal disease described in our Ayurveda samhitas. It is derived from Sanskrit word ‘parikr’ which means all around; and ‘karthanam’ means excessive cutting pain around the anus. Acharya Sushruta has described the term ‘parikartika’ as a condition of guda (anus) where cutting and burning pain is present. Guda parikartika has been mentioned by Acharyas in Virechana & Vasti Vyapat and as a Complication of vatajatisara and due to excessive use of Yapana vasthi . Fissure in ano is an elongated ulcer in the long axis of lower anal canal . It is a very common and painful condition mainly due to modern life style and food habits. The symptoms of fissure resembles with parikartika mentioned in ayurvedic classics The study was taken up to investigate the potential of Gouryadi ghrita and to establish its significant effect on parikartika. It was a clinical study, 30 patients were randomly selected as per diagnostic and inclusion criteria. The patients were given 10ml of gouryadi ghruta as anal infiltration , followed by pichu for 14 days. The assessment of objective and subjective criteria were done on before treatment (1tST day), after 3, 7,11,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63 days. The outcome of treatment after 60 days were statistically significant in subjective parameters like pain, burning sensation, bleeding, pruritus ani, sphincter spasm, tenderness, constipation and objective parameters like size of ulcer, and discharge. The study confirms that Gouradi ghruta is effective in management of parikartika
