Arshas (Piles / Haemorrhoids) according to Ayurveda means “That which causes agony and torture us like an enemy” Only those who suffer from this disease will be able to appreciate and accept the meaning as defined by Ayurveda. Piles is often associated, preceded or complicated by agonizing constipation. Duralabharishtam is a one shot remedy for both these conditions.
