Nonconventional approach in diagnosing digestive disorders
Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
As we all know, the gastrointestinal tract extends from buccal cavity to anus. Beside main parts of G.I.T. its associated glands and other body organs has equal importance in causing, diagnosing and treating ailments. So, their functions, abnormalities and examinations should always be considered while thinking of gastroenterology. In Ayurveda we deal G.I. disorders under Annavaha srotas vikaras, while remaining associated organs aren’t considered often. So, this is the demand of the present time to consider both simultaneously to achieve better results. Because this is well established fact, that supporting organs such as liver, gall bladder, pancrease etc. has very important role in performing proper digestive process as well as causing and curing associated diseases. In this paper we’ll discuss different pathologies other than GIT which may present as gastrointestinal symptoms.
