        abstract = {A Pilonidal sinus is a track which commonly contains hair. Shalyaja Nadivrana is a type of Agantuj vrana.Nowadays, young males who are primarily hirsute, are more likely to suffer from Pilonidal Sinus (PNS). It usually happens in the intergluteal cleft when hair irritates the skin, resulting in an abscess and the eventual formation of a sinus. There is a surgical risk and recurrence associated with the current surgical procedures, such as excision and skin grafting, excision with Z plasty, excision with multiple Z plasty, karydakis excision, Bascom technique, and rhomboid-limber flap that are currently available for the treatment of this illness. Kshara sutra is a well-established method in Ayurveda, however it takes longer, which leads to secondary infections and delayed wound healing. Thus, the current study attempts to assess the healing rate when nadi vrana is managed using kshara sutra alone and when kshara sutra is utilized in combination with saptang guggulu. Most cases occur in young male adults.
AIM: To provide a non-invasive, safe, fast resulting treatment for Nadi Vrana (Pilonidal Sinus
OBJECTIVE: To shorter the duration of treatment of Pilonidal Sinus with Kshara Sutra treatment by adding Saptang Guggulu.
To validate the data in terms of rate of healing.
