Kankayana Gutika — Overview
Kankayana Gutika is a specialized pill formulation for hemorrhoids, built on a base of 40 pala of Guda (jaggery) combined with Pathya (Haritaki), Maricha, Jeeraka, Pippali, Pippali moola, Chavya, Chitraka, Nagara (Sunthi), Yavakshara, Bhallataka, and Surana kanda in graduated proportions.
It is administered internally with buttermilk and is specifically indicated for the six types of Arshas (hemorrhoids). The text notes it is particularly suited for patients who fear surgical interventions such as Sastra Karma (instruments), Kshara Karma (caustic application), or Agni Karma (cauterization), offering a non-invasive alternative.
