ABSTRACT
Bhagandara (Fistula-in-ano) is a chronic condition in Ayurveda, characterized by persistent discharging sinus around the anal region. In classical texts, certain Vi?adravyas (toxic substances) are used in therapeutic doses after proper purification (?odhana) to treat conditions like Bhagandara due to their Lekhana (scraping), K??ra (alkaline), and Krimighna (anti-microbial) properties. This study compares the efficacy of selected purified toxic substances like Danti, Snuhi, Bhallataka, Arka, and Tankan Bhasma in the treatment of Bhagandara.
