Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), referred to as 'Grahani' in Ayurveda, is a chronic functional disorder of the digestive system that affects the stomach and intestines. It is characterized by symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and irregular bowel movements. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, Ayurvedic treatment for IBS aims to address the root cause of the condition-offering a potential path to permanent relief.
What is IBS?
IBS affects the gastrointestinal tract without causing visible signs of damage. It is one of the most common digestive disorders worldwide, impacting 7-10% of the population, with women under 50 being most commonly affected. Stress, poor digestion, infections, and lifestyle imbalances often contribute to its onset.
Types of IBS
IBS with Constipation (IBS-C): Hard stools, bloating, and discomfort.
IBS with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Frequent loose stools and abdominal cramps.
IBS with Mixed Symptoms (IBS-M): Alternating between constipation and diarrhea.
How to Cure IBS Permanently with Ayurveda
Ayurveda views IBS as a result of weakened digestive fire (Agni), imbalance in doshas (mainly Vata and Pitta), and disturbed mind-body connection.
