ABSTRACT

Sushruta has explained seven Kala, Pittdhara Kala is the sixth Kala which is  Sthana of   Agni and it is the part which is in between the Amashaya and Pakvashaya called as Grahani. Any kind of malformation in this part leads to Grahani roga. The illness known as Grahani Roga affects Annavaha Srotas and is brought on by the production of Ama and Mandagni. Mandagni leads to Ama Dosha which may result in Grahani Roga over time. According to Acharya Charak, Mandagni impairs the way food is absorbed. The signs and symptoms of Grahani Roga are comparable to those of Irritable Bowel Syndrome as now understood in medicine. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort and altered bowel habits in the absence of detectable structural abnormalities.[1] IBS is estimated to affect 11.2% of people worldwide and 4.2%–7.7% of people in India.[2] Those who are working age and female are three times more likely to have it. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that does not accompany a structural defect. It is characterized by normal bowel activity that is either exaggerated or distorted, often resulting in abdominal pain or discomfort, constipation and/or diarrhoea.
