ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is an eternal science that existed in the universal consciousness. The concept of Manas and the Maanasika bhavas have been very scientifically explained in various contexts of the Ayurvedic literature. Mind and body are related to each other. Since one is Adhara and the other is Adheya, one can influence the other. Thus, it is clear that somatic disorders have a psychological backup. In our classics Grahani is described as an Agni adhishthana. Any disturbance in the status of agni leads to Grahani roga. Grahani roga is one among the ashta mahagadas. Ayurvedic texts clearly state the Manasika hetus of Grahani roga in general. Since separate Nidana panchakas are not mentioned individually for Grahani roga, Samanya nidana is applicable for Grahani roga also. Influence of Manasika bhavas in the Chikitsa is also mentioned. Since Grahani roga is a Pitta vata predominant disease, the Manasika bhavas which can easily be disturbed by Vata and pitta dosha also have significant role in it. Aim: The study shows the understanding of Manasika bhavas in detail and to assess the role of Manasika bhavas in the manifestation and prevention of recurrence of Grahani roga. Material and methods: This topic is examined using a variety of Ayurvedic classic literatures. Conclusion: it can be concluded that for diagnosis and treatment of IBS, psychological disorders involving mentioned Manasik bhavas should be discussed as impacts are well reported.
