Impact of grahani roga (malabsorptionsyndrome/ibs) on manas

Summary of article contents:

A healthy body creates a healthy mind. A healthy gut molds a healthy body. This establishes the relation of gut with that of the brain. Ayurveda emphasized the relation with gut and brain dating back to the centuries. It is very much evident while going through Manasika vikaras mentioned in our classics . Manoroga lakshanas can get manifested or precipitated by bowel pathologies or Koshtajanya vikaras . Brain and spinal cord carries abundant network of neurons. Surprisingly, the human body carries a second brain in its gut and we address it as the enteric nervous system. It has the capacity to function independently. Ahara can manipulate the body constructively or even destructively, which later influences at the psychic and somatic level. Therefore, food or diet was considered to be superior to the medicines in the ancient classics. In the current era of fast moving life, due to injudicious and erratic diet nature and pattern which induces stress to the gut, causing Dushti of S amana vata which plays a major role in the digestion along with Pachaka pitta , Kledaka kapha which ultimately effects Sadhaka pitta . This in turn lit a cascade of pathological process, inducing Grahani spectrum of disorders, ending in the pathologies apex to the body or the brain. The result is nothing but the change in Manasika bhavas due to Grahani and vice versa. Present article highlights the impact of Grahani roga on Manas.

Agni dosha which is situated in Grahani itself is considered as Grahanidosha [1]. Functional disintegration due to agni dysfunction & organic disintegration due to defective dynamics of internal mucosa can beconsidered asGrahani dosha& Grahaniroga respectively.
