AN APPORCH TO GRAHANI ROGA THROUGH AYURVEDA: A REVIEW ARTICLE
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Grahani has been widely described in the classic Ayurvedic literature as one among the Mahagada.[1] Grahani and Agni are having Adhara- Adheya Sambandha and described as an Agni Adhishtana. The name is given so because Grahani (retaining ability) is the function of Grahani. Normally it restrains the downwards movement of undigested food and retains till it is fully digested.[2] After digestion it releases the food to next Ashaya i.e. Pakvashaya. The primary cause of Grahani Roga is eating habits that directly affect Jatharagni leading to a vitiation of Grahani, thus it does not digest even light food. This undigested food becomes sour in taste and it works like poison and gives rise to several diseases.[3] Among them Grahani is the prime disease. so the aim of treatment should be to enhance the potency of Agni by drugs with Deepana and Pachana qualities.
