motility disorder associated with abdominal pain, constipation and bloated ness. A total of 25 patients suggestive of
feature of pakwashayagatavata or constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome were enrolled and were randomly
divided into two groups. In Group A, 15 patients were enrolled and were given Panchasakarchoorna and
Mahashankhavati. In Group B, 10 patients were enrolled and were given combination of Ayurvedic drugs
(Panchasakarchoorna,Mahashankhavati) along with basti(~medicated enema)for a period of 16 days.Total duration of
study was of 1 month. Both the groups had shown significant improvement in chronic constipation, bloating
etc.(p<0.01),butgroup Bshowed better improvement in comparison to group A. Thus, basti(~medicated enema) therapy is
