Thousands of years back, our rishis have established the fact that only a balanced mind can bring health and harmony in the body.

Ayurveda recognises Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) as Grahani or Sangrahani. It is a psychosomatic, lifestyle disorder marked by classical symptoms like loose motions and constipation, loss of appetite. Weight loss may or may not occur and is related to the constitution of the patient. Although known as a chronic disorder, it is observed in young people; as young as 25 years of age. It is also proven to be reactive to heightened emotions like fear, low self esteem, anger. The trigger of the symptoms can also be severe anxiety, or deep seated fear along with wrong food habits and lifestyle.

Factors causing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) largely happens because of nursing emotional turbulence from within and not giving desired expressions. The body suffers from consequence of these agitated expressions which manifest in the form of unhealthy acids released into the small intestines.

As a majority of these emotions manifest in the abdominal region; as a psychosomatic expression, a mixture of acids ( Ranjaka pitta ) agitate the tender walls of the intestines and consume the secondary mucosa. The intestines become sensitive to certain foods which are harsh and incompatible to the person’s current constitution ( vikruti )
