Ayurveda is the science of life which focuses more on the maintenance and promotion of good health. In the present mechanised life, everyoneis busy chasing money and a good lifestyle. Ayurveda defines Tridosha, Sapta dhatu, Sweda, Mala, Strotasa, Agni, Pancha Gyanena Indriyas, Pancha Karma Indriyas, Aatma, and Manasa. Grahani roga is a disease
of Annavaha strotasa. Agni, food habits, and mind situation are the factors responsible for every metabolic activity in the body. Among the types of Grahani roga, Vataja Grahani roga is commonly observed in the population. In Ayurveda, the description of Vataja Grahani roga includes symptoms like muhur baddhha, muhur drava mala pravrutti, udarshula, amlodgara, avipaka, and vishtambha. Modern texts explained it as IBS which is a functional bowel disorder that may be co-related to Vataja Grahani roga as it matches the symptoms. Irritant bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic and debilitating functional gastrointestinal disorder
that affects most of the population across the world. The medicines available for IBS did not prove as a permanent solution without any other side effects. On the other hand, Ayurveda has many medicinal formulations to encounter the facts from years ago. This study aims
to view the disease and its management with Ayurvedic formulations.
