Ayurvedic Treatment Approaches:

• Chedana (Excision): This technique involves the removal of abnormal tissues or growths. In the case of warts, Chedana is used to surgically remove the wart using appropriate instruments to ensure that the wart is excised carefully and effectively.

• Kshara Karma: This Ayurvedic procedure involves applying medicated alkaline substances (ksharas) to the affected area. In wart treatment, Kshara Karma is used after excision to treat the base of the wart, gradually destroying the abnormal tissue and preventing recurrence.

  • Ksharas: Alkaline substances derived from plants or minerals, the potency of which varies based on the specific composition and method of preparation.

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we often combine Chedana and Kshara Karma to provide the most effective wart treatment. After excising the wart, the base or site of the wart is treated with the selected kshara to promote healing, prevent recurrence, and minimize the risk of scarring.

Advantages of Kshara Karma in Wart Treatment:

• Minimally Invasive: Compared to some other wart removal methods, Kshara Karma is generally a less invasive procedure.
• Reduced Pain: It typically causes less post-operative pain and discomfort.
• Faster Healing: The treatment often leads to quicker recovery times.
• Minimal Scarring: The application of Kshara Karma can minimize scarring compared to other methods of wart removal.
• Tissue Regeneration: It promotes natural tissue regeneration and helps in preventing the recurrence of warts.
• Holistic Approach: Kshara Karma addresses the imbalances in the body that may have contributed to the development of warts, aligning with the principles of Ayurveda.
