Abstract

Grahani Roga is the prime disease of gastro-intestinal tract and seen often in day-today practice. In our classics Grahani is described as an Agni Adhishthana. Any disturbance in the status of Agni leads to Grahani Roga. The rapid increase in the prevalence of Grahani is a matter of great concern now days. It is a result of sedentary life style, bad dietary habits, stress and also due to the altered environmental conditions. Ayurveda described the individuality of Mana and Shareera and their inseparable and interdependent relation in the body. Grahani Roga is a predominant Pitta-Vata Dosha and the Manasika Bhavas can be easily be disturbed by Vata and Pitta Dosha. IBS can be considered as Agnimandyajanya Vikara. The functional dependency between normal Vata Dosha and Agni is altered in IBS. The role of Dhatus and concerned Srotas i.e., Purishavaha Srotas is also considerable. Purishavaha Srotas does majority of function with the help of Apana Vayu. So, the Dusti lies at Apana Vayu & Samana Vayu level. The Mansik Bhavas which hamper Agni and Rasavahasrotas, are the main causative factor of IBS.
