Due to their hectic lifestyle and eating habits, the majority of the population frequently experiences digestive symptoms like bloating, excessive gas, indigestion, constipation, heartburn, nausea, and abdominal pain. Hence, to treat a condition from its source, the underlying pathology should be identified rather than just treating its symptoms. Ayurvedic "Grahani dosa" is associated with the digestive disorder. When gastrointestinal symptoms reach their chronic stage, they are known as Grahani roga, the advanced stage of Grahani dosa.
