Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The Ayurvedic View of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda views IBS as a Vata disorder of the colon (Grahani region) with variable digestion, where ama and sensitivity make the gut reactive.
Management emphasises regular warm meals, trigger identification, stress management, and herbs that calm and regulate intestinal function.
