Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), known as Grahani in Ayurveda, is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal discomfort, bloating, and altered bowel habits. Ayurvedic management focuses on restoring digestive balance through personalized therapies, herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications.
Ayurvedic Perspective on IBS:
In Ayurveda, IBS is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to digestive disturbances. Factors such as improper diet, stress, and irregular lifestyle habits can exacerbate these imbalances, resulting in IBS symptoms.
