IBS (Mixed) Sannipataj Grahani | Ayurvedic Treatment to Restore Digestive Imbalance Naturally

Your Daily Struggle with IBS-Mixed

If you're battling IBS-Mixed (Sannipataj Grahani), life can feel unpredictable and stressful, because one day you face constipation and bloating, and the very next day, diarrhoea disrupts your plans. The constant uncertainty affects all aspects of your life, including your personal, professional, and social life. This also leads to confusion because you add more fibre in your diet when you feel constipated, and in a few days, you struggle with diarrhoea and feel vulnerable as to what you can do now to stop diarrhoea. You might have tried numerous home remedies, like fibre supplements, laxatives, dietary changes, probiotics, and detox teas, but nothing worked, and your struggles are increasing with every passing day.

If you're looking for a permanent solution that works beyond symptomatic relief and addresses the root cause, we at Yukti Herbs offer the same.

What is IBS-M as per Ayurveda?

Ayurveda describes IBS-Mixed as Sannipataj Grahani, involving an imbalance of all three doshas—Vata (Air Element), Pitta (Fire Element), and Kapha (Combination of Earth & Water Elements). This is a very complex imbalance that leads to alternating digestive issues, which you are facing right now (sometimes constipation and sometimes diarrhoea). Imagine your digestive system as an orchestra: when synchronised, digestion is smooth. Imbalances cause chaos, disrupting digestion and overall health.

Why you are suffering with IBS (Mixed)

Shloka Reference:

अभोजनादजीर्णातिभोजनाद्विषमाशनात् | असात्म्यगुरुशीतातिरूक्षसन्दुष्टभोजनात् ||

Translation: Prolonged fasting; consuming food despite incomplete digestion; overeating; erratic eating patterns; intake of unsuitable or incompatible foods; consumption of heavy or overly rich meals; cold or refrigerated items; excessively dry or depleting foods; and contaminated or impure substances are key dietary causes of digestive disturbances.¹

The above shloka reference shows the basic causes of mixed irritable bowel syndrome. In modern times, as our dietary habits and lifestyle have changed a lot, a few additional causes are responsible for this condition. 

Primary Modern-Day Causes Include:

• Lack of sleep or late-night sleep

• Overindulgence in bad habits like smoking & alcohol intake

• Eating outside food most of the time

• Excessive use of Packaged, processed and Frozen Foods

• Lack of Nutritious and Easy-to-Digest Food

• Excessive use of dairy products

• Uncontrolled use of refined flour and fermented foods

These factors are responsible for the weakening of digestive fire (Mandagni), causing the accumulation of toxins (Ama formation), and causing tri-doshic imbalance.

Symptoms of IBS (Mixed) – You must be facing daily

• Alternating diarrhoea and constipation
  
  

• Bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort
  
  

• Anxiety, irritability, and fatigue after meals
  
  

• Emotional distress is linked directly to digestive symptoms
  
  

• Frequent mucus or undigested food in stools
  
  Shloka Reference:

अतिसृष्टं विबद्धं वा द्रवं तदुपदिश्यते| तृष्णारोचकवैरस्यप्रसेकतमकान्वितः ||
शूनपादकरः सास्थिपर्वरुक् छर्दनं ज्वरः| लोहामगन्धिस्तिक्ताम्लउद्गारश्चास्य जायते ||

Translation: In this condition, the person may experience frequent or excessive bowel movements, which can be either loose and watery or hard and pellet-like. Accompanying symptoms include intense thirst, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, excessive salivation, faintness, swelling in the limbs, joint and bone pain, vomiting, fever, and belching with a metallic odour, bitter or sour taste, or undigested food.²

Gut-Brain Axis: How Your Emotions Influence Digestion

Have you ever noticed your digestive symptoms worsen with stress, emotional tension, or poor sleep? This happens due to the gut-brain axis, as there is a direct connection between mental states (Prana Vata) and digestive function (Apana Vata). Ayurveda identifies emotional disturbances as key triggers in IBS-Mixed, and this has been proven in modern research as well. 

Yukti Herbs’ Integrative Healing Approach for IBS-M (Sannipataj Grahani)

Like any other digestive disorders or even IBS C & D, the first and most important part is Deepan-Pachan Chikitisa. To reignite the digestive fire, or you can say improve your appetite, we give certain herbal formulations, which instantly give relief.

Shloka Reference:

सर्वथा दीपनं सर्वं ग्रहणीरोगाणां हितम् ॥ 

Translation: Anything that stimulates the digestive fire (dīpana) in all possible ways is beneficial in all types of Grahani disorders.³

For IBS-M (Mixed) patients, Ayurvedic treatment begins with Deepan-Pachan Chikitsa, just like the treatment of any other disease; however, it is crucial for reigniting the digestive fire (Agni) and clearing accumulated Ama (toxins). Strengthening Agni helps ensure proper digestion, which in turn reduces chronic diarrhoea and gut inflammation. 

After this initial treatment, many patients feel relief. This initial cleansing sets the foundation for Shodhan Chikitsa (Panchakarma Detoxification Therapies, such as Yog Basti and Abhyangam), which eliminates deep-rooted toxins in the gut, thereby directly addressing the root causes. 

Finally, Shaman Chikitsa (herbal medicines) stabilizes digestion, restores intestinal health, and prevents symptom recurrence. This structured Ayurvedic approach systematically restores digestive balance, alleviates emotional triggers, and offers long-term relief from IBS-M (Mixed) symptoms, enhancing overall gut and mental health.

Shloka Reference:

घृतक्षारासवारिष्टान् दद्याच्चाग्निविवर्धनान्| क्रिया या चानिलादीनां निर्दिष्टा ग्रहणीं प्रति ||

Translation: The treatment protocol outlined for Vataja and other types of Grahani should be followed accordingly, either individually or in combination, based on the dominant dosha.⁴

Panchakarma Therapies for IBS (Mixed)

At Yukti Herbs, authentic Panchakarma therapies cleanse toxins deeply, restoring doshic balance. Panchakarma therapies can be highly beneficial for managing IBS (Mixed), a condition characterized by alternating symptoms of diarrhea and constipation. In most cases, Vamana (therapeutic emesis) is preferred to completely detox the system before proceeding for the other therapies, but in cases where patients can’t go for Vamana Karma, the following therapies are considered to solve the aggravated condition. Here's how each therapy helps:

1. Abhyanga (Oil Massage): This deep-tissue massage therapy involves the application of warm herbal oils to the body, promoting relaxation, enhancing circulation, and reducing stress. The major benefit of this therapy is to balance Vata dosha, which plays a significant role in IBS (Mixed) symptoms.
   
   

2. Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Swedana involves the use of steam infused with herbs to induce perspiration. Swedana detoxifies the body and reduces excess heat or toxins. It improves digestion and relieves bloating, a common symptom of IBS (mixed).
   
   

3. Yog Basti (Medicated Enema): This treatment involves the administration of herbal decoctions or oils through the rectum to cleanse the lower digestive tract. It balances Vata dosha and nourishes the intestines. It eases constipation or diarrhea, both very quickly and effectively.
   
   

4. Shirodhara (Warm Medicated Oil Pouring on Forehead): Shirodhara involves a steady stream of warm herbal oils rhythmically poured on the forehead, which calms the nervous system and reduces stress, a known trigger for IBS. It enhances mental clarity and balances emotional well-being, which restores a healthy gut-brain axis.
   
   

5. Takra Dhara (Buttermilk Pouring on Forehead Therapy): This therapy helps cool down excessive heat in the body. It soothes the digestive system, aids in detoxification, and helps alleviate diarrhoea conditions by cooling and balancing Pitta dosha.
   
   Shloka Reference:

आमलिङ्गान्वितं दृष्ट्वा सुखोष्णेनाम्बुनोद्धरेत् | फलानां वा कषायेण पिप्पलीसर्षपैस्तथा ||

Translation: When signs of Ama like heaviness, loss of appetite, foul-smelling belching, fatigue, and nausea, appear and Kapha is involved, therapeutic emesis (Vamana) should be performed. This can be done using lukewarm water or a decoction made from Madanaphala, Pippali, and Sarshapa to expel the accumulated toxins.⁵

These therapies collectively eliminate the root cause of IBS-Mixed, offering long-lasting relief. An expert Ayurvedacharya, after careful diagnosis, advises the best suitable combination of 2 or more therapies and also the ingredients to be included to prepare the oils or dharas for therapies. So, when you visit Yukti Herbs for treatment, you will get a personalized approach even for Panchakarma therapies.
