ibs stomach cramps while eating - Ayurvedic Medicines for IBSAmong disease of gastro-intestinal tract, Grahani Roga/ IBS is seen often in day-to-day practice. In the modest era, human beings adjust themselves to become mechanical. Irregular diet and sleep pattern, shift duties, stress are a part of life now a days. These changes in life style are responsible for not paying proper attention to diet, daily routines, exercise, and seasonal regimes. The fresh food is replaced by fast food and bakery products. All together makes a person susceptible for disease generated by imbalance in digestive power.

In Ayurveda, Agni is the base (mool) of life, which plays a key role in bio-transformation. In Ayurveda “Jathar Agni” means digestive fire and is present in stomach and duodenum. Grahani is the main site of Agni and both are interdependent. According to Ayurveda, the small intestine is correlated to Grahani, because of its property to restrain meal. Grahani is the place where digestion and absorption takes place. It is nourished by the strength of Agni. ‘Mandagni’ is one type of vitiation of Agni, which means weak digestive fire. The food is not digested properly due to Mandagni, which leads to Ama Dosha (accumulation of endotoxins), it is the crucial factor responsible for most of the diseases.

Ama Dosha Leads to:-

  • Coated tongue (reflecting coated intestines),
  • Bloating
  • Blocked bile ducts
  • High Cholesterol Level
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
  • Piles
  • Auto-Immune Disorders like Arthritis
  • Blockage in channels
  • Coronary Artery Diseases,
  • Hindrance in absorption of nutrients by intestinal channels.
irritable bowel syndrome treatment in Ayurveda

IBS treatment in Ayurveda gives emphasis on proper digestion, which is often the focus for illness. Grahani roga is a disease where there is alteration of normal function of Grahani. On the basis of its clinical presentation and pathogenesis IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can be correlated in Ayurveda with Grahani roga as there is no clear cut evidence of IBS.

Grahani is considered as a syndrome with alteration in stool either in solid or liquid form. People suffering from IBS have extra sensitive nerves and muscles in the bowel because of vitiated pitta and vata. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects intestine, which is the part of the digestive tract that stores stool.
