Ayurvedic Arsenal For IBS
Grahani roga, the commonest clinical manifestation of gastrointestinal pathology, is emerging as a lifestyle disorder and is encountered frequently in day-to-day practice. Patients generally approach Ayurvedic system for cure only after they fail to get any results from the incomplete treatments and have to face unwanted complications arising from conventional medicine, by when the disease becomes intractable.
Ayurvedic texts explain Grahani roga as a gastrointestinal disorder caused due to the impairment of the Jatharagni (digestive fire). Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) has clinical resemblance with that of Grahani, with symptoms like alternate constipation and diarrhea (Muhurbaddha/Muhurdrava), mucus mixed stools (Sasleshma Mala Pravritti) etc.
