What is the Ayurvedic Treatment for IBS ?

Posted on January 17, 2020January 17, 2020 By Chandigarh Ayurved No Comments on What is the Ayurvedic Treatment for IBS ?

Today in this era when people are too much into junk food and disturbed lifestyle, usually complain about IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which affects our large intestine. IBS is an idiopathic, functional, gastrointestinal disorder which is characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits.

According to Ayurveda, Agni (AMA) is the base (mool) of life. As per Ayurveda “Jathar Agni” is digestive fire which is present in stomach and duodenum. Grahani is the main seat of Agni and both are interdependent. Ayurveda says, the small intestine is correlated to Grahani, because of its properties to restrain the food that we eat. Digestion and absorption of food is done in Grahani. It is nourished by the strength of Agni. ‘Mandagni’ is imbalanced or vitiated form of Agni, which means weak digestive fire. The food is not digested properly due to Mandagni that leads to AMA Dosha (accumulation of toxins), it results to most of the diseases. Irritable Bowel Syndrome treatment involves alleviating the aggravated body energies, restoring the function of the digestive system and the elimination of accumulated toxins. Major cause of this disorder is stress; lifestyle guidance and herbs to nourish the mind and nervous system is part of treatment.

Weak intestinal contractions can slow down the food passage which leads to hard and dry stools.
  • Nervous system- Abnormality of the nerves in the digestive system may result to discomfort that is abdominal stretches which is because of gas or stool. The coordination between brains and intestines be very weak which can result to disturb digestive system, resulting in pain, diarrhea or constipation.
