A CONCEPTUAL AND SURVEY STUDY ON YO HI BHUNKTE VIDHIM TYAKTWA GRAHANI DOSHJAAN GADAAN W.S.R. TO GRAHANI ROGA

INTRODUCTION

Adequate nutrition is necessary for a healthy life, but consuming food without knowing the method of diet cannot provide good health benefits. The method of diet plays an important role in both the origin and treatment of diseases. Food is the life of living beings. Descriptions of many types of instructions related to the method of diet are available here and there, but the Ashta Ahara Vidhi Visheshayatana (eight dynamics must be measured before taking food) described in Ayurveda Shastra, visheshayatan, diet method (vidhan) have their own special importance. Acharya Charak has described the importance of diet method that, by consuming food in a proper manner, after proper digestion by the gastric fire, the Rasaadi dhatu are strengthened and the body remains full of age and strength. If a person consumes food without following the rules of diet due to greed or the restlessness of the tongue, then his digestive fire gets distorted and distorts the Grahani and Grahani dependent disorders arise. There is a support-dependent relationship between Grahani and fire. Therefore, when the Grahani is contaminated, the fire gets distorted. Contaminated fire cannot digest even small food.  That unripe food/ama on receiving the suktatva produces aama toxin which shows harmful effects like poison in the body.

Charak has considered Aam Toxin to be an independent origin due to the slowing down of the digestive fire. This common toxin contaminates the doshas, dhatu and malas again and gives rise to various types of disease groups in the entire body. Grahani is not a single disease but a group of disorders.

NEED OF STUDY

Nowadays, Grahani Roga (duodenal disease) are occurring in abundance, the main reason for which is improper dietary habits.

In modern times, due to busy and competitive lifestyle, dietary habits have changed a lot. Society is giving the least importance to diet and diet method. At present, various types of metabolic non-communicable diseases are arising prematurely in every age group, especially children and youth, in which obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, mental stress and depression are the major ones. In Ayurveda, the root cause of Grahani Roga (duodenal disease) is the disorder of Agni and improper food intake. Such diseases can be avoided by making positive changes in wrong habits related to the method of eating. Diet method is a very important link between the consumption of nutritious food and health benefits.

The basic treatment principle of duodenal disease is to bring the jatharagni (gastric fire}, dhatvagni and bhutagni to a balanced state. For this, along with medical treatment, it is very important to follow the diet prescribed in scriptures for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to study the diet in the current perspective while making the general public aware of both the prevention and treatment of duodenal disease.
