In yoga therapy, piles (haemorrhoids) are not treated as just a local problem. They develop gradually through lifestyle patterns and must be addressed holistically.
Piles occur when veins in the anal canal swell, causing:
• Bleeding
• Pain
• Itching
• Heaviness
• Discomfort during bowel movements
Nearly 50% of adults experience piles at some stage.
Common causes:
• Chronic constipation
• Straining
• Prolonged sitting
• Suppressing natural urges
• Pregnancy
• Obesity
• Poor digestion
• Stress
Yoga therapy addresses piles through four pillars:
• Ahaar (diet)
• Vihaar (activity & rest)
• Achaar (daily habits)
• Vichaar (mental state)
1. Ahaar – Correct Digestion
The goal: bowel movement without force.
Increase fibre and hydration.
Include:
• Bananas
• Sprouts
• Unpolished red rice
• Fruits
• Pulses
Red Rice Porridge (Kanji):
• Soak unpolished red rice overnight
• Cook with extra water until soft
• Add rock salt and a few drops of ghee
Benefits:
• Fibre softens stool
• Ghee lubricates intestines
• Reduces strain on rectal veins
Also helpful:
• Buttermilk with meals
• Lemon water between meals
• Isabgol at night (gentle support)
Avoid chemical laxatives — they irritate tissues.

2. Vihaar – Improve Circulation
Prolonged sitting causes blood pooling in pelvic veins.
To improve circulation:
• Walk 10 minutes, 2–3 times daily
• Swim, cycle, or jog gently
• Avoid long sitting hours
Movement prevents venous congestion and supports bowel function.

3. Achaar – Correct Habits & Local Care
Do not suppress natural urges.
Delay leads to hard stools and straining.
Improve toilet posture:
• Use a squatting position
• Or place a small stool under your feet
This reduces strain by aligning the recto-anal angle.
Local care:
• Cold hip bath (10 minutes daily)
• Cold compress for swelling
• Coconut oil for soothing
• Use water instead of dry toilet paper
• Gentle clockwise abdominal massage with warm sesame oil
Yogic practices:
• Sarvangasana
• Viparita Karani
• Gentle forward bends
• Ashwini Mudra (avoid during acute pain)
4. Vichaar – Calm the Mind
Stress weakens digestion and worsens inflammation.
Support healing by:
• Eating mindfully
• Reducing worry
• Practising gratitude
• Meditating regularly
A calm mind supports healthy bowel movement.
