ABSTRACT
The rapid increase in the prevalence of GI disorders is a matter of great concern, occurring as a result of sedentary life style, bad dietary habits, stress and altered environmental conditions. GI diseases affect the GI tract from mouth to anus, condition may range from mild to serious and may even require surgical procedures. Ayurveda can help diagnose and treat GI disorders; detailed explanations are available in our classics. As per our science, causes of GI disorders are inappropriate eating habits accompanied with certain poor lifestyle choices. Disorders of Annavahasrotas and Purishvahasrotas can be correlated to GI disorders. Almost all diseases occur due to Aama or decreased digestive fire.
