ABSTRACT
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder in which abdominal pain is associated with
defecation or a change in bowel habit. Psychological and somatic management is also desirable in IBS due to
depression or anxiety. In Ayurveda, most of the symptoms of vatik grahani resembles with IBS. In vatik
grahani, due to mandagni, food remain undigested which get fermented called as ama. Saman avrit apan vayu is
responsible for abnormal gut motility. In vatik grahani, manasah sadanam (depressed mood) indicate
involvement of C.N.S. Thus study for IBS was carried out on 70 randomly selected patients at Sir Sundarlal
Hospital, Banaras Hindu University. The drug shriphaladi yog in dose of 5 Gms. T.D.S. after meal and the
kukshi vasti using shriphaladi taila were given to the patient. The synergistic effect of oral drug and therapeutics
procedure demonstrated significant results in effective management of IBS. Therefore, this study may be
extended for large scale clinical trials.
Key words: IBS, Vatik grahani, Gut motility, Shriphaladi yog, Shriphaladi taila, Kukshi vasti
INRODUCTION
Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional
gastrointestinal psychosomatic disorder [1]
comprises symptoms [2] like abdominal pain and
gas formation, is associated with defecation or a
change in bowel habit. IBS syndrome is a relapsing
functional bowel disorder in the absence of
structural pathology, defined by symptom-based
diagnostic criteria (Rome III criteria [3]). In IBS,
symptoms are exacerbated or initiated by
psychological stress [4] (or stressful life event).
Generally half of the patients of IBS complain
dyspepsia, heart burn, nausea and vomiting. This
suggests that upper GIT apart from colon is also
involved. The cause of IBS is poorly understood
because of the clandestine involvement of brain.
The new Rome IV criteria [5] have begun to shift
away from current term “functional G.I disorder”
towards disorder of gut brain axis. The
classification [6] of IBS is of four types i.e. IBS-D,
IBS-C, IBS-M, IBS-I. In IBS, most of the patients
are alternate between episodes of diarrhoea and
constipation. In ayurveda, Acharaya Charaka told
that sharir & manas doshas are mutually dependent.
Therefore sharirik disease transform into the manas
disease & vice-versa after chronic illness. The
etiopathogenesis & symptoms of IBS suggest the
involvement of vata dosha. In Ayurvedic literature,
vatik grahani[7] very nearly resembles with IBS on
the basis of their common symptoms. Therefore
understanding of the patho-physiological condition
of IBS, according to the fundamental principles of
Ayurveda, is needed. So the principle of
management for IBS consists of agnivardhan,
amanirharan & vatanuloman. Since vatik grahani is
one of the symptoms of samana avritta apana
vayu[7]. Therefore it can be concluded that I.B.S
(Vatik Grahani) has vata as main dosa which plays
important role for gut motility by ENS. Presence of
other doshas likes pachak pitta and kledak kapha
leads to agnidusti, mainly mandagni responsible for
the appearance of IBS symptoms.
Hence the epidemiological and clinical studies
were conducted to find out the management of IBS
from ayurvedic drug & therapeutic procedures and
the existing standard allopathic drug.

The objectives of this study were as follows
1. To evaluate the efficacy of Shriphaladi yog in
IBS
2. To evaluate the efficacy of kukshi vasti in IBS
3. To evaluate the synergetic effect of
Shriphaladi yog & kukshi vasti in IBS
4. To compare the efficacy of these group with
standard modern drug.
Since IBS is a disorder of intestinal motor
dysfunction with increased sensitivity to stimuli
arising from gut & psychological factors hence
drug for IBS management must have deepan
pachan vatanuloman and medhya properties. The
drug Shriphaladi Yog (shriphal nagarmotha,
guduchi, patalgaruni shankhpushpi)[8] is an
effective formulation which is able to control and
regularize the symptoms of IBS. The specifically
tailored kukshi vasti[9] using shriphaladi taila
restore the physiological functions of apana &
saman vata. Synergistically the ayurvedic trial drug
and procedure subsides the main culprit producing
the symptoms of IBS.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The collection of unbiased data and its logical
analysis is crucial necessity for any scientific study.
The use of correct methods and statistical tools
become vital for not only the clear analysis and the
assessment of efficacy of findings but also the
capable to generalize the conclusion.
Clinical study: The control randomized clinical
study has been conducted by selecting the patient
on the basis of the following inclusion and
exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria
1. Presence of three or more of the cardinal feature
of IBS fulfilling Rome III criteria. Re-
occurrence of abdominal pain or discomfort at
least 3 days in a month since last three month,
associated with two or more of the following:
Improvement with the defecation
Onset associated with change in frequency
of stool
Onset is associated with a change in form of
stool viz. pain abdomen
Feeling of incomplete evacuation
Abdominal distension
Mucus in stool
2. Symptoms present for a minimum period of 12
months and age group from 18-60
3. All clinical examination, hematology and
radiological findings are normal in lower and
upper gastro intestinal tract
Exclusion Criteria
1. Symptoms compatible with IBS but having
organic pathology
2. Presence of other systemic diseases or mental
disorders requiring treatment e.g. crohn’s
disease, ulcerative colitis and carcinoma of
rectum and colon
3. Cases of active dysentery
4. Patients who are on psychotropic drugs or
under the influence of drug abuse
Demographic & Constitutional Profile: The
demographic profile included name, age, sex,
marital status, education, occupation, socio-
economic status, address, rural or urban, dietary
habit, addiction, family history, chronicity, deha
prakriti, manas prakriti, manobala (sattva),
treatment history, incidence of symptoms of
patients.
Selection of Cases: 70 cases recruited under the
present study were selected from the Kayachikitsa
O.P.D and I.P.D., Sir Sunderlal Hospital, I.M.S.,
B.H.U., Varanasi between Sept. 2011 and Oct
2012. The 65 numbers of patients were screened
for the diagnosis clinically.
The Study Groups: Following inclusion and
exclusion criteria the 70 patients were selected and
registered for the study, only 65 patients, turned up
for full follow-ups. They were sorted into four
groups.
a) The first group-A comprised of 20 patients
who were put on the drug shriphaladi Yog
(Shriphala, Guduchi, sankhapusphi, patal
garudi, nagarmotha, each in equal quantity)
for 45 days (All 20 pt. turned up for full
follow up)
b) The second group-B comprised of 20 patients
who were given kukshi vasti with shriphaladi
taila for 15 days. (Out of 20 patients 18 were
turned up for full follow up)
c) The third group- C comprised of 20 patients
who were put on combination of shriphalidi
yog and kukshi vasti for 15 days. (Out of 20
patients 18 turned up for full follow up)
d) The fourth group-D comprised of 10 patients
who were put on combination of
chlordiazepoxide (5 mg) + clidinium bromide
(2.5 mg) one tablet T.D.S for 45 days. (Out of
10 patients 9 were turned up for full follow
up)
Therapeutic Procedure of Kukshi Vasti: Kukshi
vasti is unique and effective therapeutic procedure
for IBS patient. In this procedure, an herbal paste
(mixture of equal quantities of urda dal flour and
wheat flour) is used to make a boundary of 2 inch
height and 3 inch radius is made over the
Rajpoot et al., World J Pharm Sci 2016; 4(10): 86-96
88
abdominal region around the umbilicus. The 400
ml lukewarm shriphaladi taila is gradually poured
over the umbilical region. After 15 min, this oil
with the help of cotton is removed and again
heated, same procedure was repeated two times.
Total three cycles each of 15 min is needed, so the
total procedure takes 45 minutes. The whole oil is
removed, along with the boundary and a clockwise
gentle massage for 5-8 minutes was done. Patient is
advised to take rest for half hour. After the half
hour patient can take light easy digestible food with
luke warm drinking water, and also can travel.
Final assessment of the efficacy of different
treatments: The improvement was assessed on the
basis of relief in the sign and symptoms of the
disease. Patients were assessed on subjective
improvement and symptomatic improvement
Statistical Analysis: Paired ‘T’-test was applied to
assess the effect of drug before and after treatment
and One way ANOVA was employed to infer any
significant difference among the groups. If that test
resulted in significant difference, “Post Hoc test”
was applied to find out the pair wise difference.
RESULTS
Demographic & Constitutional Study Result
Incidence of Age, Sex
The young age group 18-30 years (42.86 %) and
middle age group 31-45 years (37.14 %) are more
affected than the age group 46-60 years (15.7 %)
and older age group 61 year or more (4.3%). More
IBS incidence has been found men (60%) than
women (40%). (Refer Table 1)
Incidence of Habitat
Rural populations (60%) are more affected than
urban population (40%). (Refer Table 2)
Incidence of Marital Status
The married persons (70 %) have more chances of
occurrence of IBS than unmarried persons (29 %)
while only 1 % belongs to other category. (Refer
Table 3)
Incidence of Dietary habit
The vegetarians (56 %) are more affected than non-
vegetarians (44 %). (Refer Table 4)
Incidence of Occupational Status
The students (28.6 %) and housewives (27.1 %) are
more affected than servicemen (20 %) and
businessman (15.6 %) whereas farmers (8.6 %) are
very less affected. (Refer Table 5)
Incidence of Socio-Economic Status
The middle socio economic class (55.72 %) is more
affected than poor socio economic class (30 %) and
rich socio economic (14.28 %). Also educated
patients (73.44%) are more affected than totally
uneducated patients (28.56 %) (Refer Table 6)
Incidence of family history
The majority (87.14) of the persons do not have
any family history of IBS disease. It may be
explained from above data that IBS is a not
inherited from generations. (Refer Table 7)
Incidence of Addiction
The patients (57 %) having no addiction are more
affected than addiction (43%). Also 17.1% of IBS
cases were reported for betel & tobacco chewing
persons. (Refer Table 8)
Incidence of Constitutional Status
The average persons built (50%) are more affected
than thin persons (21.43%), robust persons (17.14
%) and obese persons (11.43%). (Refer Table 9)
Incidence of Distribution of Chronicity
Patients having illness from 4-6 years (51.50%), 1-
3 years (32.80%), 7-9 years (11.40%), & and above
10 years (4.30%) were listed which suggest that
IBS is chronic disease. (Refer Table 10)
Incidence of Manas Prakriti
Rajasa prakriti persons (68.6%) are more affected
than tamasa (22.9%) & sattvika (8.5 %) prakriti
(Refer Table 11)
Incidence of Manobala (Sattva)
The madhyama manobala (59 %) persons are more
affected than pravar (12.20 %) & avar manobala
(28.80 %). (Refer Table 12)
Incidence of Deha Prakriti
The persons having vataja-pittaja (44.30 %) and
vataja-kaphaja (22.90%) are more affected this
indicates that the vata parkiriti is more responsible
for IBS disease. (Refer Table 13)
Incidence of Treatment History
Out of 70 patients 62.90 % took modern medicine
and 17.10 % ayurvedic medicine with modern
medicine but could not relieved. 7.10 % patients
took medicine of all systems (Refer Table 14)
Incidence of Symptoms
The gas formation, frequency of stool, mucoid
stool, and feeling of incomplete evacuation are
found in maximum patients. Constipated bowel,
abdomen pain, tenasmus and heaviness in lower
abdomen are found in 70-80 % patients whereas
anxiety (46.15%) and depression (49.23%) were
reported in patients (Refer Table 15)

Effect on Mucoid Stool
In group A, B, C, D, t values were 5.483 (p<0.001),
9.127 (p<0.05), 7.459 (p<0.001) and group D,
4.914 (p<0.05) respectively. The group C has
responded better as compared to group A, group B
and outstanding as compared to group D (Refer
Table 20).
Effect on Constipated Bowel
In group A, B, C, D, t values were 2.629 (p<0.05),
4.274 (p<0.05), 5.359 (p<0.001) and group D,
3.250 (p<0.05) respectively. Hence group C has
responded better than group B and outstanding as
compared to group A & group D (Refer Table 21).
Effect on Anxiety
In group A, B, C, D, t values were 2.667 (p<0.05),
2.062 (p>0.05), 3.335 (p<0.05) and 2.683 (p<0.05)
respectively. Hence group C & group D has
responded better as compared to group A & group
B (Refer Table 22).
Effect on Depression In group A, B, C, D, t values were 3.760 (p<0.05),
group B, t value was 2.755 (p<0.05), group C, t
value was 2.364 (p<0.05) and group D, t value was
1.793 (p<0.05). Hence the entire Group has
responded upto a certain extent but not able to
provide relief more than 55 % (Refer Table 23).
Effect on feeling of complete evacuation
In group A, B, C, D, t values were 7.667 (p<0.001),
7.210 (p<0.001), 4.653 (p<0.001) and 3.024
(p<0.05). Hence group C has responded better as
compared to group A, B & D (Refer Table 24).
Inter Group Comparison and Pair wise Group
Comparison
On inter group comparison (one way annova), the
treatment for the tenasmus, gas formation, feeling
of incomplete evacuation was statistically
significant and highly significant in case of
frequency of stool, mucoid stool, constipated
bowel, feeling of incomplete evacuation whereas
depression, abdomen pain, anxiety, was not found
significant (refer table 25). In pair wise comparison
for treatment, no group was found better than other
for abdominal pain, anxiety and depression
whereas treatment group C to group D performed
significantly better in case of tenasmus and feeling
of incomplete evacuation. In case of gas formation,
frequency of stool, constipated bowel the treatment
group A to group D performed significantly better
and highly significant in case of mucoid stool. In
case of gas formation and mucoid stool, the
treatment group B to group D performed
significantly better and highly significant in case of
Frequency of stool and constipated bowel. In case
of tenasmus and feeling of incomplete evacuation
the treatment group C to group D performed better
and highly significant in case of gas formation,
frequency of stool, constipated bowel, mucoid stool
(refer table 26).
DISCUSSION
In the demographic, constitutional & clinical study
shows that the IBS affects mostly Young & middle
aged people, married people, urban & semi urban
people, vegetarian persons. Service men,
housewives, & students, educated and middle class
peoples, average and thin build persons, madhyama
and avara manobala (sattva), vata-pittaj
predominant deha prakriti people, rajas
predominant manas prakriti persons. In the clinical
studies the result of group C i.e. the drug
combination of shriphaladi yog and kukshi vasti
and group B i.e. the drug kukshi vasti with
shriphaladi taila and group A i.e. drug shriphalidi
yog showed encouraging as compared to group D
i.e. combination of chlordiazepoxide (5 mg) +
clidinium bromide (2.5 mg) one tablet T.D.S. The
mean grade score of symptoms except abdominal
pain, depression and anxiety before and after the
treatment with the drug combination of shriphaladi
yog and kukshi vasti showed highly significant
improvement as compared to drug combination of
chlordiazepoxide (5 mg) + clidinium bromide (2.5
mg) one tablet T.D.S. whereas the modern drug
also showed significant improvement in abdominal
pain, depression and anxiety. The inter group
comparison between group C was treated with
combination of shriphalidi yog and kukshi vasti
showed highly significant response over group D
except abdomenal pain, anxiety and depression
which was treated with combination of
chlordiazepoxide (5 mg) + clidinium bromide (2.5
mg) one tablet T.D.S. This study reveals that
combination of shriphalidi yog and kukshi vasti are
claimed to be very effective against the gut
motility, tonicity of intestinal muscles, restores the
physiological functions of the intestine & bowel,
and regularizes bowel movement.
CONCLUSION
This present study concluded that the synergistic
effect of ayurvedic drug and therapeutic procedure
alleviate IBS symptoms most effectively with
respect to standard modern drug. The medhya drug
Rajpoot et al., World J Pharm Sci 2016; 4(10): 86-96
90
guduchi & sankhpushpi in shriphaladi yog calm the
anxiety of patients, relieves the depression
symptoms by acting on CNS which finally
stabilizes the ENS. The individual drug of
shripahaldi yog having deepan, pachan and
vatanuloman properties normalize the status of agni
& vayu. Our samhitas explains that oil is the best
sneh for vitiated vata dosha, so luke warm
shriphaladi taila poured over the umbilicus (Nabhi)
to get absorbed. As Acharya Sushurta said that
nabhi is the moola of all siras also vata vaha siras.
The absorbed oil pacifies the vitiated vata in
vatavaha siras which also normalizes the vata in
grahani lead to stabilization of physiological
function of vata. Finally shriphaladi taila relieved
disturbed myentric & meissner’s plexus function &
spasm of intestinal muscles.
