Consistent constipation and diarrhoea is a common disorder that can affect people from any age group. Most people avoid taking any treatment for it which invariably affects their daily life adversely. Medically, it is termed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and if it continues for a long time, the patient may experience chronic fatigue, depression and anxiety. Ayurvedic treatment for IBS offers a natural, detoxifying, and permanent solution for this problem.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a large intestine disorder that includes cramping, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal restlessness. It is a chronic condition that needs to be addressed without any delays. As it progresses, the patient experiences severe signs like increased discomfort, anxiety, depression. Long-term IBS increases the risk for colorectal cancer, so it is better not to avoid its symptoms and avail treatment as soon as possible.
Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The symptoms are not the same for all patients, however, people suffering from IBS have both diarrhoea and constipation from time to time. Bloating goes away once the patient has had a bowel movement.
Causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
There are no definitive tests for IBS. Your doctor would look into your medical history, lifestyle, physical exam, and some preliminary tests to see if you have any other infections or not. The prime emphasis will be on symptoms and causes of the problem.
Ayurveda correlates IBS with Grahini Rog. Vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas results in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Over-consumption of unhealthy food items like junk food, spicy food, over-fried and heavy food weakens the digestive system which sometimes results in IBS. Ayurvedic Irritable Bowel Syndrome treatment focuses on normalising Pitta and Vata doshas with some very specific diet changes. Along with, Panchakarma therapies and herbal medicines are used to detoxify the system and rectify the faulty processes. All these work together to improve and restore the healthy bacteria in the gut and improve digestive fire.
The best Irritable Bowel Syndrome cure lies in its prevention. Here are a few things you may do to prevent IBS:
The Ayurvedic approach to illness looks for the fundamental causes of the disease rather than symptoms. The main causative factor of the disease is removed from the patient's daily routine. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is decided from the available two directions as per the classics. First one is Shodhan (detoxification) to clean the body with the help of Panchakarma therapies and the another is Shaman (balancing the doshas) by using Ayurveda medicines, diet correction and lifestyle adjustments. Detoxification with Panchakarma improves the efficacy of Ayurveda medicines in chronic and advanced cases.
Ayurveda medications are not manufactured in a synthetic or chemical form but in their natural state. Because of this, the herbs are gentle on the body, and there is no chance of side effect or adverse reactions, regardless of the length of time the patient takes them. At Prakash Nethralaya, we use the best quality Ayurveda medicines to ensure the safest and fastest recovery. There is in house processing and dispensing of the medicines for our patients.

Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has a distinct personality and body type and, as a result, their treatment. Ayurveda places more emphasis on treating the patient rather than treating the ailment. The physical composition of two different people with the same ailment may need a different therapeutic approach. An Ayurveda expert at Prakash Nethralaya uses this body type analysis and then reaches at a conclusion of diagnosis and the line of treatment. Accordingly our doctors prescribe the diet, lifestyle changes, yoga, Ayurveda medicines, and Panchakarma therapies.
