Ayurveda has holistic and scientific approach in health management. It emphasizes much more on diet and regimen along with medicines.

The dietary articles and activities that do not adversely affect the body and are liked by mind are regarded as path. Likewise, the dietary articles and activities that adversely affect the body are regarded as apatha. In Yogaratnakara, it is said that for the treatment of diseases etiology, drug treatment and Pathya (wholesome) are three important factors which should be studied thoroughly before starting the treatment. Judicious planning of treatment by proper understanding of these three factors always yields a successful eradication of disease. Prameha is considered as a type of Santarpanajanya Vikara. Prameha is frequently correlated with diabetes mellitus type 2 based on clinical manifestations.

Seminar on Pathya Apathya Vivechana in Grahani Vikara - 6/12/23

SEMINAR ON PATHYA APATHYA VIVECHANA IN GRAHANI VIKARA

Date: 21/11/23

Presented by:

Dr. Shwetha Jain

1st Year PG Scholar

Dept. of PG Studies in Kayachikitsa

Highlights of the seminar:

Ahara is the best of all medicines and is considered one among the thrayoupasthamba. Food is the basic factor for the attainment of Life-span, complexion, strength, health, enthusiasm, copulence, lustre, immunity, energy, heat processes and vital breath-all these depend on body-fire. One dies if this fire is extinguished, lives long free from disorders if it is functioning properly, gets ill if it is deranged, hence Agni is the root cause of all.The weak digestive fire burns the food incompletely which goes either upwards or downwards. When it moves out downwards either in ripe or unripe condition, it is known as the disorder of grahaṇī.. The role of Pathya ahara(diet) is very important, while treating every disease but while treating the patient of the Grahani , Pathya ahara play an important role because Grahani occurs due to impaired digestive system and it occurs due to faulty eating habits along with stressful and faulty lifestyle ,consumption of junk food, inadequate sleep and avoidance of Sadvritta.Grahani is a disease of Annavaha and purishavaha Srotas & related to Agni and Ama. Main causative factor for manifestation of Grahani Dosha is vitiation of Agni .The first line of treatment of Grahani Dosha is Deepana and Pachana. So it can be conclude those Ahara dravyas having Deepana, Pachana properties should be given in Grahani Dosha. Thus in a psycho-somatic illness like grahani / IBS a collective approach of diet, life style modifications along with medications will help in reducing the signs and symptoms and helps in attaining a state of equilibrium of Dosha, Dhatu, Mala & Agni as explained in ayurvedic classics.
