Grahani Dosha's critical analysis as a syndrome

Abstract

Due to their hectic lifestyle and eating habits, the majority of the population frequently experiences digestive symptoms like bloating, excessive gas, indigestion, constipation, heartburn, nausea, and abdominal pain. Hence, to treat a condition from its source, the underlying pathology should be identified rather than just treating its symptoms. Ayurvedic Grahani dosa is associated with the digestive disorder. When gastrointestinal symptoms reach their chronic stage, they are known as Grahani roga, the advanced stage of Grahani dosa. According to Ayurveda, grahani is an organ and grahani dosha is a pathologically deranged state of grahani. For this reason, comprehending Grahani as an Avayava (organ), Dosha (Sprue syndrome), and Roga (Chronic gut disorders) accurately is imperative in order to comprehend the various stages of gastrointestinal symptoms in chronological order. This article thus attempts to understand the Grahani dosha as a syndrome by considering Grahani as Avayava, Dosha, and Roga.
