Ayurvedic antiseptic useful in healing anorectal disorders such as anal fissures

I have been dealing with the anal fissures starting from year 2000. This year, I experienced repeated episodes in the past couple of months. Thankfully they were healed using conservative methods. I was very regular and disciplined with the sitz bath. I think they help immensely. This time, an Ayurvedic doctor recommended that I add an Ayurvedic medication called panchavalkala kwatha to the water in the sitz bath.

Even though I cannot accurately establish the efficacy of this medication, the fact that I seem to have recovered much faster than as compared to earlier episodes even though this time I was suffering from additional symptoms of fibromyalgia, it does seem that this medication help speed up the healing.

There are some research articles which seem to suggest that this does help in healing so I would recommend considering this as a part of conservative therapy for healing anal fissure.

Perhaps that explains why there are no easily available research studies pertaining to Mouse Finger alone. Most of the research studies consider these symptoms as a p...

Avoid RSI Pain by Automating Repetitive Mouse Tasks with Voice Macros

In this Dragon NaturallySpeaking tutorial , I show how you can use scripting to automate your routine tasks and can significantly improve your productivity .
