AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR IBS
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is also known as
Irritable colon. It is a gastrointestinal motility disorder for which
there is no organic or structural cause.
The Ayurvedic principle of the involvement
of dosas is very helpful because it provides an understanding of the symptoms
and how they vary from one type to another. It also provides a system of
treatment specific to that particular dosa imbalance. Ayurveda utilizes not
only diet and herbs, but also lifestyle advice so that treatment of IBS
can be more specific and more successful.
Ayurvedic treatment is based on the nature
of the stool with (sama) or without (nirama) enterotoxin stool.

enter toxin in IBS are important pathological processes that have to be treated
effectively along with consideration of bowel movements with respect of stools
with or without mucus discharge. When entertainer dominates this stage, it is
treated with fasting and administration of digestives and nominatives. Use of
warm water is highly recommended.

first line of treatment is administration of digestives like chitrakadi vati
and shankha vati to eliminate enter toxin. It is recommended to follow the
digestive with an administration of medicinal ghee preparations such as
