Introduction
“Did you know your gut has a brain of its own? And Ayurveda discovered it long before modern science.”
Modern research shows the gut has its own nervous system — the Enteric Nervous System (ENS) — often called the second brain. Ayurveda deeply connects gut (Grahani) with mental and emotional health, offering unique and effective therapies like Shirodhara and Basti.

• 1. Gut-Brain Axis in Modern Science vs Ayurveda
  – Modern View: ENS controls digestion and is linked to anxiety, IBS, depression.
  – Ayurvedic View: The seat of Agni (digestive fire) lies in Grahani — dysfunction here disturbs Rakt, Pitta, and Majja Dhatus.
  – Gut imbalance = Rasa Dushti → Rakt Pitta Majja vitiation → anxiety, fatigue, mood swings
  
  
• 2. What is Grahani in Ayurveda?
  Grahani holds digested food until fully processed by Agni. When weak = Grahani Roga, similar to IBS, bloating, indigestion, loose motion/constipation. Causes = Ama, stress, irregular food, suppressed urges.
  Linked Doshas:
  – Vata → Gas, anxiety
  – Pitta → Burning, IBS-D
  – Kapha → Sluggish digestion
  
  
• 3. Rakt, Pitta, and Majja in Gut-Health
  Grahani is the gateway of Rasa to Dhatus.
  If Grahani is weak:
  – Rakt Dhatu gets heated → Pitta vitiation
  – Majja Dhatu (linked to nervous system) gets disturbed → brain fog, anxiety, insomnia
