Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment in Ayurveda

Natural & Holistic Ayurvedic Care for Digestive Balance

At Sukrutham Ayurveda Chikilsalayam, we offer a personalized Ayurvedic approach to managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by addressing digestive imbalance, gut sensitivity, and mind–body factors. Our treatment focuses on restoring healthy digestion and long-term relief rather than temporary symptom suppression.

About Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a functional digestive disorder affecting the large intestine. It is characterized by recurring abdominal discomfort, altered bowel habits, and digestive distress without any structural abnormality in the gut.

IBS often fluctuates in severity and is closely linked to stress, dietary habits, and gut sensitivity. Ayurveda recognizes IBS as a disorder of digestion and nervous balance rather than a purely intestinal disease.

Common Symptoms of IBS

• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Bloating and gas
• Diarrhea, constipation, or alternating patterns
• Mucus in stool
• Sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation
• Urgency to pass stools
• Fatigue associated with digestion
• Increased symptoms during stress

Ayurvedic Understanding of IBS

In Ayurveda, IBS is associated with Grahani Dosha, a condition arising from impaired digestive fire (Mandagni).

Root Causes According to Ayurveda:

• Weak or irregular digestion (Agni imbalance)
• Predominant Vata dosha disturbance
• Stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalance
• Irregular eating habits and incompatible foods
• Excessive intake of cold, dry, or processed foods

When digestion becomes unstable, nutrients are poorly absorbed, leading to gut sensitivity and recurring symptoms.
