| Abstract: | Ayurveda considers Agni to be the fundamental force governing digestion, metabolism, and overall health, with Grahani described as its functional seat. Disturbance of Agni due to faulty diet, irregular lifestyle, and psychological stress leads to incomplete digestion and formation of Ama, resulting in Grahani Roga. This condition exhibits clinical features such as altered bowel habits, abdominal discomfort, and chronicity, which closely resemble those of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) described in modern medicine. IBS is recognised as a functional gastrointestinal disorder with a strong association to stress and gut–brain axis dysregulation, making it comparable to Grahani Roga from a psychosomatic perspective. Shirodhara, a classical Panchakarma therapy involving the continuous pouring of medicated liquids over the forehead, is traditionally indicated in stress-related and psychosomatic disorders. Its calming influence on the nervous system and regulatory effect on mental functions suggest a potential role in managing digestive disorders aggravated by psychological factors. Conceptual analysis of classical Ayurvedic texts and contemporary scientific literature indicates that Shirodhara may indirectly support digestive function by reducing stress, stabilising neuroendocrine responses, and improving gut–mind coordination. This narrative review highlights the conceptual and clinical parallels between Grahani Roga and IBS and discusses the relevance of Shirodhara as a supportive, holistic therapeutic modality. While classical indications and emerging scientific explanations are encouraging, further clinical research is required to establish its role with greater clarity. |
