Abstract
Kshar is a special ayurvedic herbal preparation for external as well as internal medicinal purposes. It is highly useful drug in terms of surgical interventions. Kshar sutra is a well known application in number of ano-rectal conditions. Researches have explored its significance in chronic problems like fistula-in-ano etc. Kshar is corrosive in nature despite its saumya guna. It debrides unhealthy tissues in a very gentle manner. Methodology: In Vrihadtrayi as well as in laghutrayi, kshar has been exclusively depicted. Search was made in different texts of ayurveda. Major issues and challenges: Kshar karma is the external application of kshar, which should be done under the supervision of experts. Otherwise, it may cause various complications. Kshar has different potencies on which the desired action takes place. When kshar is applied locally in diseased condition, it may harm the healthy tissues also. So, proper care must be taken while it is used. Conclusion: Kshar has gained its popular role in ano-rectal diseases. However, in ayurveda, its scope is not limited to a particular field. Kshar karma has been described in so many conditions, which are still considered as incurable or recurrent in present time.
