Arshohar Marham

Arshohar Marham

Arshohar Marham (also known as Arshohar Malham) is a specialized Ayurvedic ointment used for the external management of Piles (Hemorrhoids) and Anal Fissures. The name “Arshohar” literally means “destroyer of piles.”

In a 50ml or 50g pack, it serves as a topical treatment that provides immediate symptomatic relief while helping to shrink the affected tissue.

Key Ingredients

While formulations can vary slightly by brand (such as Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan or Patiala Ayurvedic), common ingredients include:

• Kashis Bhasma (Purified Ferrous Sulfate): Acts as a powerful hemostatic to stop bleeding and helps shrink the pile mass.

• Shuddha Gandhak (Purified Sulfur): Provides antimicrobial properties to prevent infection in the sensitive rectal area.

• Phitkari (Alum): A strong astringent that tightens the skin and reduces swelling.

• Karpur (Camphor): Offers a cooling sensation, numbs local pain, and relieves intense itching.

• Neem Oil: Acts as a natural disinfectant and promotes faster wound healing.

• Shatdhaut Ghrut / Cow Ghee: Often used as the base to provide deep lubrication and soothe inflamed skin.

 Primary Health Benefits

• Shrinks Pile Masses: Helps reduce the size of engorged veins and “dry up” external piles.

• Relieves Pain & Itching: Provides rapid relief from the sharp, pricking pain and persistent itching associated with hemorrhoids.

• Stops Minor Bleeding: Its astringent properties help constrict ruptured capillaries.

• Heals Fissures: Promotes the repair of small skin tears in the anal canal by keeping the area lubricated and sterile.

• Eases Bowel Movements: By providing lubrication, it reduces friction and strain during defecation, preventing further trauma to the area
