Piles, or hemorrhoids, are among the most common anorectal conditions seen worldwide, affecting nearly 50% of adults at some point in their lives. They occur when the veins in the anal canal swell and become inflamed, leading to symptoms such as pain, bleeding during bowel movements, itching, burning, swelling, and in severe cases, prolapse or thrombosis. According to global data cited by the Cleveland Clinic and Medical News Today, piles are often linked to modern lifestyle factors such as low-fiber diets, prolonged sitting, constipation, obesity, and straining during defecation.

At Healing Hands Clinic, with a presence of 35+ hospitals across India, we see lakhs of patients suffering from piles each year. Our medical experience has shown that while Grade I and II piles (early-stage hemorrhoids) can be effectively managed through lifestyle corrections and specialized medications, Grade III and IV piles (prolapsed or thrombosed piles) often require surgical intervention. However, even in higher grades, symptom relief and post-surgery healing can be accelerated with targeted plant-based therapies.

This is where PiloKit, our flagship, patented, and clinically validated formulations, comes in. Developed after years of scientific research and backed by molecular validation, PiloKit represents a comprehensive, non-surgical, 3-step approach to treating piles. It includes three specialized formulations—PiloSpray, PiloTab, and ConsteTab—each designed to target different aspects of piles, from reducing bleeding and inflammation to relieving constipation and promoting healing.

The Three Components of PiloKit

PiloSpray (Patent No.: 423811): A targeted spray for external piles treatment and relief.

PiloSpray is an advanced topical application formulated to act directly on the anorectal region. The spray mechanism ensures quick absorption and provides immediate soothing relief for pain, burning, and itching sensations. Each of its ingredients is selected for their well-documented Ayurvedic and botanical properties:

• Til Oil (Sesamum indicum) – Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, Til oil has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. It provides lubrication and relieves pain and burning sensations.
• Daruhaldi (Berberis aristata) – Contains berberine, a potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial alkaloid. It is especially effective in controlling bleeding piles and preventing infections.
• Lodhara (Symplocos racemosa) – Known for its astringent properties, Lodhara reduces inflammation, tones tissues, and relieves pain.
• Mocharas (Bombax ceiba) – Traditionally used in Ayurveda for wound healing, it reduces burning sensations and provides cooling relief.
• Kapur (Cinnamomum camphora) – A natural analgesic, Kapur reduces swelling, soothes irritation, and improves local circulation.
• Pudina (Mentha piperita) – Contains menthol, which has a cooling, anti-itching, and anti-inflammatory effect.
• Kokam Oil (Garcinia indica) – Known for its soothing properties, it helps in reducing pain and irritation in piles.

Together, these ingredients make PiloSpray highly effective in addressing the external wounds due to fissures, pain, swelling, itching, and burning.

2. PiloTab – Internal Healing for Bleeding, Inflammation and Wound Healing

PiloTab (Patent No.: 436571): A specialized piles tablet to treat internally.

PiloTab is an internal oral formulation that works systemically to control bleeding, reduce inflammation, and promote healing of the anorectal tissues. It is particularly beneficial in Grade I and II bleeding piles.

• Lajjalu (Mimosa pudica) – Traditionally used for its styptic properties, Lajjalu helps control bleeding and strengthens blood vessels.
• Nagkesar (Mesua ferrea) – Rich in bioactive flavonoids, it acts as a hemostatic agent, reducing bleeding effectively.
• Daruhaldi (Berberis aristata) – Beyond topical benefits, its systemic anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action supports healing and reduces pain internally.
• Dugdhika (Euphorbia hirta) – Known for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-burning properties, it accelerates tissue recovery in bleeding and inflamed piles.

PiloTab represents the core healing step of the kit, ensuring that the root cause—vascular swelling and bleeding—is addressed naturally.

3. ConsteTab – Relieving Constipation and Straining

ConsteTab (Patent No.: 375497): A laxative tablet to ease motion for piles treatment.

Constipation and excessive straining are among the leading causes of piles, as confirmed by Harvard Health and Medical News Today. ConsteTab is specifically formulated to ensure smooth, strain-free bowel movements, which is essential for both prevention and treatment of piles.

• Sonamukhi (Cassia angustifolia) – Contains sennosides, which act as natural stimulant laxatives, promoting bowel movements.
• Nishottar (Operculina turpethum) – Reduces constipation and flatulence with its mild purgative action.
• Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) – A revered Ayurvedic herb from Triphala, it regulates bowel function, relieves gas, and prevents chronic constipation.
• Balhirada (Terminalia chebula) – Supports digestion and relieves constipation when combined with Haritaki.
• Saindhav (Rock Salt) – Improves digestion, reduces bloating, and enhances bowel regularity.
• Erand Tail (Castor Oil, Ricinus communis) – A classical remedy for constipation and piles, Erand Tail lubricates stools and soothes the intestinal lining.

ConsteTab ensures that the most important trigger—constipation—is effectively managed, thereby preventing recurrence and facilitating long-term recovery.

Scientific and Ayurvedic Rationale

The uniqueness of PiloKit lies in its multi-dimensional approach:

• External relief (PiloSpray) for pain, burning, and swelling.
• Internal healing (PiloTab) for bleeding and inflamed vessels.
• Digestive regulation (ConsteTab) for constipation and straining.

This 3-step strategy is holistic, plant-based, and patented, validated both through specialized Ayurvedic texts of Botany (Dravyaguna Vigyana) and modern clinical observations at Healing Hands Clinic. The kit has already been used by lakhs of patients across 35+ centers, with consistently positive outcomes in Grade I and II piles.

Ingredient Summary Table

Symptom-Wise Benefits of PiloKit

PiloKit works holistically by combining the targeted actions of PiloSpray, PiloTab, and ConsteTab. For patients suffering from bleeding piles, herbs like Daruhaldi, Nagkesar, Lajjalu, and Lodhara strengthen the veins and stop bleeding effectively. Pain and swelling are soothed by the cooling, anti-inflammatory action of Til Oil, Mocharas, Kapur, and Dugdhika, which bring local comfort and reduce irritation. For burning and itching, Pudina and Kokam Oil deliver a cooling sensation while Til Oil acts as a natural emollient. Since constipation and straining are the root triggers for piles, ConsteTab—with its blend of Sonamukhi, Haritaki, Nishottar, Balhirada, Saindhav, and Erand Tail—restores smooth bowel movement. Finally, for those recovering after surgery, the wound-healing and tissue-repair properties of Til Oil, Daruhaldi, Mocharas, and Dugdhika ensure faster recovery and prevent recurrence.

This synergy across symptoms means PiloKit doesn’t just mask discomfort but addresses piles from its root causes while also ensuring symptomatic relief and post-surgical care—a true 3-in-1 advantage.

Final Thoughts

PiloKit is more than just a medicine—it is a scientifically designed, Ayurveda-backed, plant-based therapeutic kit for piles. Its unique 3-step approach addresses the condition from the outside, the inside, and at its root (constipation). As the first line of treatment in Healing Hands Clinics for Grade I and II piles, PiloKit offers a safe, non-surgical, and comprehensive solution. For advanced piles, it provides symptomatic relief and aids in faster post-surgical recovery.
