Kshar Sutra Therapy: Treatment, Procedure and Advantages

Kshar Sutra Therapy: Treatment, Procedure and Advantages

We shall have to accept that there is not a single reference in the Brihattrayee or even in the Laghutrayee, of the method of preparation of Kshar Sutra as it is used today. Though there are some references indicating the use of medicated thread in the treatment of Arshas and Bhagandara in Sushruta and Bhavprakasha. 

In the recent past, the late Dr. P. J. Deshpande had done extensive research and had come forward with a scientific and standard method of preparing the Kshar Sutra. This method of preparation of Kshar Sutra has been adopted widely by institutes of Ayurveda and by ayurvedists in general. Not only the clinical efficacy but many other aspects are also considered in the standardization of the Ksharsutra.
The tensile strength of the thread, the PH of the drugs used and the PH of the Ksharsutra itself, the dispersal pattern of different Ksharas, its chromatographic studies, the alkalinity, the method of sterilization and the packing and preserving methods of the prepared Ksharsutras were studied before the Ksharsutras could be standardized.
