Abstract: The rise of Grahani Roga, a gastrointestinal ailment, can be attributed to factors like stress and poor dietary habits in modern lifestyles. Ayurvedic texts connect emotional states such as fear, anger, and sadness to imbalances in Dosha, underscoring the intricate link between mental and physical well-being. Stress disrupts the brain-gut axis, contributing to conditions like IBD, IBS, and GERD, which share symptoms with Grahani Roga, suggesting a potential psychosomatic origin. This article explores Ayurvedic principles of health, emphasizing the balance of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu, and Mala, as well as the role of a serene mind (Prasanna Atma, Indriya, and Mana) in managing Grahani Roga. It advocates integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern medical approaches to tackle contemporary health challenges. Future research should delve into the psychosomatic aspects of these conditions to develop comprehensive diagnostic and treatment strategies that amalgamate Ayurvedic insights with modern medical knowledge.
