A non-randomized controlled trial was carried out in 40 participants with intervention for 15 days and a follow up of 7 days. Clinical signs and symptoms of raktārśaḥ were assessed before and after the intervention and after fol- lowing up, by using the subjective parameters scale including, Frequency of bleeding, Nature of bleeding, Change in colour of the mucosa of pile mass, Character of defecation and Period of straining. Grñjanaka pēya along with a therapeutic protocol in raktārśaḥ has shown significant positive changes in subjective parameters like frequency of bleeding (p<0.01 level), nature of bleeding (p<0.01 level), changes in the mucosa, period of straining and char- acter of defecation after the 15 days of intervention in the study group.Keywords: Raktārśaḥ, Gr̥ ñjanaka pēya, Therapeutic dietary protocol, Subjective parameters
