AYURVEDA VIEW ON IBS-C

According to Ayurveda perspective, IBS-C is described as ‘Grahani Roga’. In this disease there is disturbance in the functions of the bowels and intestines. 

Grahani or duodenum is the seat of Agni or digestive fire and here food undergoes digestion process. After the digestion of food is complete, then it passes to the next part of the digestive tract for absorption, but if there is Manda Agni or weak digestive fire, then the food is not completely digested and passes in undigested form. This undigested food particles are termed as Ama or the toxins.

These Aama or toxins will further combine with normal food leading to foul smelling stools. 

These toxins are the main reason behind IBS-C. If it is not treated then it may give rise to other diseases.
