Why Ayurveda is the Best Treatment for Pilonidal Sinus?
Kshar Sutra Therapy – The Best Alternative to Surgery
Kshar Sutra is an Ayurvedic para-surgical treatment where a medicated thread is inserted into the sinus tract.
The thread is coated with herbal alkaline medicines , which gradually cut, drain, and heal the sinus while preventing reinfection.
Treats the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms
Pilonidal sinus is mainly caused by ingrown hairs, excessive sweating, and weak immune response.
Ayurveda detoxifies the body, strengthens immunity, and prevents future sinus formation.
No Side Effects Unlike Modern Treatments
Surgical treatments like excision or flap surgery often result in recurrence, pain, and slow healing.
Ayurvedic treatment is safe, natural, and free from side effects.
No risk of antibiotic resistance or complications like in modern treatments.
Quick Recovery & No Hospital Stay
Kshar Sutra therapy is an OPD-based procedure, meaning no need for hospitalization
The patient can resume daily activities with minimal restrictions.
