Abstract

Grahani is considered the prime seat of Agni responsible for the digestion and absorption in the Annavaha Srotas. Improper lifestyle, faulty dietary practices, and indulgence in Asatmya Ahara–Vihara have led to the rising prevalence of Grahani Roga. Factors like Laulya (mental restlessness) and Prajnaparadha (intellectual errors) aggravated by Asatmyaindriyarthasamyoga act as causative agents, disturbing the normal process of digestion. In addition, Manasika Bhavas (Bhaya, Krodha, Shoka, Dvesha, Vishada, Chinta) Dushti further contributes to the pathogenesis, making the Samprapti Vighatana more challenging. This leads to chronicity (Yapya Avastha) of the disease. Although patients with Grahani Roga are commonly encountered in clinical practice, differentiating it from other disorders with similar symptomatology is often difficult and recurrency is a challenge. Through Upshayatmaka Parikshana we can differentiate it as well as overcome the symptoms of Grahani Roga.
