Introduction: Parikartika is a painful anorectal condition described in Ayurveda, mainly characterized by sharp cutting pain in the anal region. Clinically, it closely resembles fissure-in-ano, which presents with pain during and after defecation, fresh bleeding, burning sensation, sphincter spasm, and constipation. Materials and Methods: This review article is based on classical Ayurvedic texts, modern surgical literature, and available conceptual references related to Parikartika, fissure-in-ano, Durvadi Ghrita, Ghrita Kalpana, Pichu Chikitsa, and wound healing. Observation: Durvadi Ghrita Pichu may help in reducing bleeding, burning sensation, pain, local inflammation, and irritation due to its Raktasthambhana, Dahaprashamana, Shothahara, soothing, lubricating, and wound-healing properties. Conclusion: Durvadi Ghrita Pichu may be a useful local therapeutic approach in Parikartika, especially in fissure-in-ano cases where bleeding, burning sensation, inflammation, and painful defecation are prominent.References
