IBS AND AYURVEDA:
Considering the condition to be Grahani Roga, Ayurveda holds that food is converted into energy and nutrients by the Agni, or digestive fire. Anything you eat is held in the duodenum until Agni has finished digesting it. Once digestion is finished, the food proceeds to the following phase. If the food isn't completely digested for any reason, you can feel ill. This could be a sign of an issue with your Agni. Insufficient digestion might cause your body to produce Ama, or toxins. A weaker Agni and the poisons that build up as a result may cause symptoms of IBS. Therefore, the first step in Ayurvedic therapy is to address the Ama. After that, the doshas are treated. These treatments may alleviate symptoms within a few days. In some situations, though, correct treatment of the imbalance could take a lengthy period. You must first balance the three doshas in order to feel healed, as well-being is dependent on their balance.
