Title :  KSHAR SUTRA IN ANCIENT CLASSICS.
Abstract :          To find out a suitable drug which can replace SNUHI latex for the preparation of Kshar-Sutra, various agents like KALKA of Ghrita Kumari, Gum acacia, Gandhaviroja, udumbar, Amaltas, Guggulu etc. were tried. None of them were found suitable to replace SNUHI latex in terms of quality of thread and efficacy. So it is necessary to find out a suitable agent which can replace the use of Snuhi latex in the preparation of Kshar Sutra. The advantages & disadvantages of various types of Kshar Sutra have been discussed.
