Abstract

Grahani is a seat of agni (Digestive fire). It retains the food till the food is fully digested and then passes it into
pakwashaya (intestine). Functionally weak Agni i.e mandagni causes improper digestion of ingested food &
leads to Grahani roga. Grahani is a disease of great clinical relevance in modern era because of its direct link
with the improper food habits and stressful lifestyle of the present time. Grahani roga's pathogenesis revolves
around Agnidosha, the seat of which is the structure described as Grahani. These are inseparable. Thus an
impairment of integrity of Grahani may impair digestive function and state of Agni and vice versa. Vitiation of
Agni causes disease, So for the treatment, concentration should be kept on management of Agni. Thus this
article aim to give adequate knowledge about Grahani & its management by lifestyle modification & Yoga
practices.
