A REVIEW ARTICLE ON DIET IN GRAHANI ROGA

Abstract

The Grahani is the leading disorder of the digestive system. Due to various etiological factors of Grahani Roga, the Grahani becomes impaired as a result of Dusti or vitiation of Pachakagni and Saman Vayu. The Vaisamya at Saman Vayu causes the hyper motility of gut resulting in frequent evacuation of the bowel, which one large and hard or liquid. The principle of diet for all types of Grahani is boost the Agni and reduce the Ama with the help of Ahara Dravyas, which included mainly Kashaya, Madhura and Katu in Rasa; Laghu, Ruksha, Grahee, Deepana and Pachana in Guna; Ushna in Veerya and Katu or Madhura in Vipaka. The diet regime suggested by Ayurveda helps in stimulation of Agni, which supports the digestion of food of appropriate quality, taken in required quantity and in right time for cure of Grahani Roga or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
