 Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)  is a psychosomatic disease condition where there is an  increase or decrease number of colonic contractions waves without any consistent evidence of abnormal motility of intestine and is disturbed with altered bowel habit, lower abdominal pain with distention relieved by passes of flatus. The symptoms are markedly influenced by psychological factors with stressful life style.

In Ayurveda , functionally weak Agni/Digestive fire causes improper digestion of ingested food ,which leads to Aam dosha . Aam is the root cause of most of the diseases..The symptoms resembles Grahani Roga, which occur due to several reasons like improper eating habits, over stress, restraining natural urges.

  

I have successfully  treated hundreds of patients  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem and were advised to take modern medicines by allopathic doctors. These allopathic drugs show several side effects including impaired thinking, confusion and restlessness.

Signs and symptoms

·         Cramping pain in lower abdomen

·         Changes in  bowel habits

·         Diarrhea or constipation, or both alternately

·         Relief of pain after bowel movements

·         Feeling of incomplete emptying after bowel movements

·         Mucus in stool

·         Abnormal movements of the colon, whether too fast or too slow, are seen in some, but not all, people who have IBS.

Diet Regime for IBS

·         Eat vegetarian food preferably.

·         Take boiled or steamed vegetables.

·         Add ginger, turmeric, black pepper,cumin,fennel in your food as they stimulate enzyme secretions and improve digestion, absorption, and clear Aam (undigested material) from the digestive tract. A light diet (Sattvik) is advised.  

·         Use coriander leaves, lentil, green grams soup,  nutmeg.

·         Drink buttermilk every day.

·         Foods rich in monounsaturated fats, such as olive or canola oil, are more  healthy as well as easily digestible.

·         Add  ginger, fennel, and cumin .

Change Your Lifestyle….

·         Do Yoga practice every day. Yoga is the technique to gain mastery over the mind through Asanas (Postures) ,Pranayam (breathing techniques).Bhramari pranayam And Shavasana .

·         Do meditation

·         Panchkarma like Shirodhara shows tremandrous improvement in this disease.

·         Read good literature like Swami Vivekanada.

Things to be avoided….

·         Avoid bread, biscuits, Frozen food items e.g. frozen chicken because it is hard to digest, saturated fat can be colon irritants.

·          Don’t take cold drinks  and hard drinks like alcohol.

·         Avoid saturated or trans fats include stick butter and margarine, fried foods, beef fat, full-fat dairy products e.g. Curd.

·         Avoid cookies, crackers, coffee cakes and snack foods as they can stimulate the intestines and cause diarrhea.

·         Avoid tea, coffee, they are stimulants to intestines.

·         Foods high in sugar , Artificial sweeteners (sorbitol).

·         Avoid cabbage.

 Ayurvedic  herbal preparations restores cures by establishing the equilibrium of Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these parameters are  studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also  decides what kind of mode of  preparation to be used for the patient. Panch KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)  is based on this principle.

So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician.

Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis that features the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints.

Osteoarthritis is known as Sandhivata in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda ,there are herbal medicines which cure the patient without any side effects. We have successfully   treated several patients  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem.

 In allopathy,analgesics(pain killers) are the mainstay of treatment.

What causes osteoarthritis (Sandhivata)in Ayurveda?

 As per Ayurveda, word Sandhivata, Sandhi means the joint and Vata stands for the Vata Dosha. When activities of the Vata increase inside the Sandhis, joints, it is known as the Sandhivata.

Vata is dry in nature so it absorbs the fluidity, from any part of the body and it is also destructive or catabolic in nature, due to these two reasons Vata cause destruction of the cartiages and reduction in the Synovial fluid inside the joint capsule. Individuals with the Vata Prakruti are more prone for the Osteoarthritis, as their main Dosha is Vata.

It is a chronic degenerative disorder  also due to natural aging of the joint. With aging, the water content of the cartilage increases, and the protein makeup of cartilage degenerates. Eventually, cartilage begins to degenerate by flaking or forming tiny crevasses.

 In advanced osteoarthritis, there is a total loss of the cartilage cushion between the bones of the joints. cushion between the bones of the joints. Repetitive use of the worn joints over the years can irritate and inflame the cartilage, causing joint pain and swelling. Loss of the cartilage cushion causes friction between the bones, leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility. Inflammation of the cartilage can also stimulate new bone outgrowths (spurs, also referred to as osteophytes) to form around the joints.

Sign and Symptoms of osteoarthritis (Sandhivata)?

·        Pain, causing loss of ability and often stiffness. "Pain" is generally described as a sharp ache, or a burning sensation in the associate muscles and tendons.

·        crackling noise (called "crepitus") when the affected joint is moved or touched, and patients may experience muscle spasm and contractions in the tendons.

·        Pain may extend to hands, feet, spine, and the large weight bearing joints, such as the hips and knees.

·        In smaller joints, such as at the fingers, hard bony enlargements, called Heberden's nodes , though they are not necessarily painful, they do limit the movement of the fingers significantly.

·        It is the most common cause of joint effusion, sometimes called water on the knee in lay terms, an accumulation of excess fluid in or around the knee joint.
