Grahani Roga is a disease of Annavaha Srotas caused due to the formation of Ama due to Mandagni. Elimination of Vidagadha or Apakva anna through the Guda is known as Grahani Roga. Acharya Charaka has mentioned that the improperly digested food due to Mandagni when moved either in Urdhwa or Adho-Marga leads to Grahani Roga. Acharya Sushruta and Madhavakara have mentioned that patients of Atisara, during the stage of Agnimandya, if taken virudhha ahara, may lead to Grahani Roga. Muhur Baddha Muhur drava mala pravritti (altered bowel habit), Shleshma mala pravritti (mucous in stool) are the main symptoms of this disease. The symptoms of Grahani resemble most irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. So, we can correlate the Grahani roga with IBS. A diagnosed case of Grahani (IBS) is discussed here who was treated with Bilwavaleha, Sanjeevani Churna, Arogyavardhini vati, Brahmi vati, Manasamitravatakam and Hingwashtak churna.Keywords: Grahani roga, IBS, Agnimandya, Case report
