Brief Summary   The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) conducted randomized multi-centric clinical trials on
Ksharasuthra therapy and found that, the recurrence of anal fistula was only 4% as compared to 11% in patients
who had undergone conventional surgery [7]
According to Classics, Snuhi Ksheera is used in the preparation of Ksharasutra. But Snuhi is not available
throughout the year, the time for collection is in Adana Kala particularly in Shishira Ritu, Snuhi coagulates
within few minutes of collection, hence in order to overcome these lacuna Eranda Karkati Ksheera (Papaya
latex) is used, as it easily available, has binding properties and can be preserved for long duration [8]
.
After the establishment of Ksharasutra as an effective treatment methodology, it has been a constant
endeavour of Ayurvedic surgeons to bring in innovative and effective changes in the preparation of
Ksharasutra. This work of preparation of Eranda Karkati Ksheera (Papaya latex) based Chitraka Ksharasutra
is also a step in the same direction
