Ayurveda’s Call On Irritable Bowels

Healthy bowel movements are one of the major reasons that ensure the robust metabolism of the body. However, there are instances when the body does not perform regular mechanisms of excretion due to a number of reasons. This, in turn, triggers disorders related to the large intestine which involve bloating of the lower abdomen, flatulence, and in some instances even diarrhea. The prominence of these symptoms may suggest the presence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome which is a functional disorder occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. Ayurveda fosters the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders through some of its herbal formulations of Sonapata, Haritaki, and Teori as they never come with side-effects.

IBS has two segregations, one being IBS-D(due to diarrhea) and the other being IBS-C(due to constipation)

  • IBS-D is identified with frequent diarrhea  and  problems such as recurring stools, Nausea, also the feeling of unevacuated bowels during excretion are some of the distinctive symptoms of IBS-D
  • IBS-C  features abdominal pain and an uncomfortable sensation owing to constipation. It has distinctive symptoms of bloating of abdomen, flatulence, straining sensation during the passage of stool.

The causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) are based on some assumptions as the actual reasons supporting its cause are unknown:

  • Gastroenteritis, which is typically a bacterial or viral infection in the stomach and intestines, acts as a potential trigger for IBS.
  • The possible occurrence of food sensitivities due to absorption of salts and acids from food
  • Peculiarities in the serotonin levels in the colon which adversely affect the colon and bowel movement
  • Anxiety, stress, and depression may play a vital role in the occurrence of IBS.

Some prominent symptoms of IBS include:

  1. Pain in the abdomen, Bloating of the abdomen, and severe cramps which mitigates the passage of stool.
  2. Excess flatulence
  3. Constipation
  4. Mucous discharge in the stool.
  5. Bleeding from the rectum
  6. Incurring weight loss
  7. Nausea- the urge to vomit
  8. Lethargy

Nowadays, people have become more vulnerable to such gastrointestinal disorders due to their imbalanced diets, consumption of gluten-rich and fried foods and they are responsible for deterring the bowel movement. A report published by the Indian Society of Gastroenterology Task Force in 2008 aimed at studying the profile of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) and the incidence of its symptoms across the population in India. The study concluded that most middle-aged men were susceptible to IBS. It stated that middle-aged men experiencing IBS had a sensation of incomplete evacuation of bowels and the presence of mucus in their stool. Even though abdominal pain was a prominent symptom but it was not universal and that the stool frequency was similar for all the patients irrespective of the fact, whether it was diarrhea or constipation. The study highlighted that 90 percent of the non- affected people had 1to 2 stools per day whereas  4.2 percent of the people, experienced complex symptoms of IBS.1 Evidently, more people in the middle ages are seeking medical assistance for its cure.

Even though in today’s world, allopathic cures are more sought after, Ayurveda can offer much simpler and refined remedies to alleviate victims of  IBS. There are a number of ayurvedic solutions which suffice the treatment of hindered bowel movements.

Combating Mouth Odour with Ayurveda

Clean bowels assure fresh breath. It is a cyclical process that starts with the intake of nutritious food which enables the stomach to function properly and perform proper digestion. This, in turn, ensures a smooth bowel movement, which in turn induces fresh breath. The digestion of food occurs in three stages; namely, the ingestion of food, assimilation of food and elimination of food. Ingestion involves the disintegration of food into its respective chemical components, whereas assimilation involves the absorption of essential minerals into the body. The elimination of indigestible food, in the form of faeces, is the final stage in this three-tiered process. The hindered movement of faeces is a precursor of constipation. Constipation or unclean bowels are the potential reasons for developing a stench in the mouth. In today’s world, an imbalance in the diet, the increased consumption of fast foods and aerated drinks, are the pivotal causes for the malfunctioning of the digestive system. The constant intake of gluten and greasy food hampers the digestion process. This, in turn, leads to the hindered passage of faeces, and the faecal remnants in the intestine induce foul smell in the mouth, making it unpleasant.

Since time immemorial, Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medication has been offering holistic solutions to problems experienced by the human body which encompasses effective remedies for combating a foul breath as well. Even though these problems do have alternative anti-biotic cures, people still invest their trust in Ayurvedic medicinal cures as they are free of side-effects. Ayurveda, through its herbal extracts and concoctions, caters to many of the oral problems, one of them being bad breath.

Some of the herbal ingredients in Ayurveda, effectively combat mouth odour. They are

  • Amla, which has an extensive application in Ayurveda, is used in the form of extracts, for rinsing the mouth. Amla, coupled with Haritaki and Bibhitaki, forms the Triphala, which is used in essential Ayurvedic compositions and acts as a rinsing agent to get rid of mouth odour.
  • Triphala, also identified as an effective remedy in Ayurvedic combats constipation as well, as it is a laxative. It facilitates smooth bowel movement which will result in fresh breath.

Ayurveda also suggests the use of rinsing agents like sesame oil and fermented rice water to do away with mouth odour.

Two of Branolia Chemical’s products, Bellytone and Livonia extend a helping hand to a person who suffers from digestive problems and, indirectly solves the problem of mouth odour. Bellytone, which is one of Branolia Chemical’s products, assists in abdominal metabolism. It relieves constipation and reduces flatulence, which is again a result of gastrointestinal problems or improper bowel movement. The prime ingredients in Bellytone are Sonapata, Haritaki, Teori & Ajwon and each of the ingredients acts as a laxative to combat constipation or curb flatulence. They enable the smooth functioning of the bowel.

Livonia is another product of Branolia Chemicals which assists in the healthy functioning of the liver. The liver, being a vital organ, is responsible for the disintegration of fats from food. Malfunctioning of the liver disturbs the digestion. Both these products aim at the proper functioning of the digestive system, enabling smooth bowel movement and hence, clean bowels will automatically eliminate mouth odour.

Over the years, the numerous products of Branolia Chemicals Pvt Ltd, have proved to be beneficial for the common man. Branolia, Branolia’s Kulerron, Branolia’s Honey Guard, Bitocough, Bellytone, and Livonia have testified their relevance in people’s lives through their commendable medicinal properties.

Stay Healthy During Monsoon with Ayurveda

Whether it drizzles or comes down as a wall of water, the soft vibration over the green landscape that mutes the noises of daily life reduces the intense speed of our usual activities.

a) Vata – It increases during the monsoon season which is the main cause of weakened digestion, acidic atmospheric conditions and gas produced from the earth and;

b) Pitta – Accumulation of Pitta due to the atmospheric condition gives rise to various stomach ailments.

In order to keep both Vata and Pitta under control, certain food and lifestyle changes are mandatory.
