Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder having a group of symptoms including abdominal pain and changes in the pattern of bowel movements without any evidence of underlying damage. The pathogenesis of IBS is not fully understood, although roles for abnormal gut motor and sensory activity, central neural dysfunction, psychological disturbances, stress and luminal factors have been proposed. About 10-15% of the people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS, it is estimated that 45% of people globally are affected by IBS. In Ayurveda, IBS can be correlated to Grahani Roga due to their clinical presentation. In this case an effort has been made to treat patients having symptoms of Muhurbaddha Muhurdravam (episode of difficult evacuation of bowel and loose stools), Udarashool (pain in abdomen) and Apakwa Malapravritti (sticky stool with mucus). Male Patient XYZ of age 54years treated with various Panchakarma procedures like Basti (herbal medicated enema), Taila Shirodhara (pouring Herbal medicated oil on head) and oral medications. At the end of 50 days of treatment (Kala basti-16days+ oral medication-34days) patient got significant improvement in the sign and symptoms of disease.
