Abstract


In Annavaha Srotasa, Grahani Dosha is one of the leading disorders. The Ahitashanajanya Vikara consists of faulty habits such as Adhyashana, Samashana, and Ratri Jagarana, Vega Vidharana, etc. The organ Grahani and Agni have Adhara Adheya type of relationship. The sole site of Agni and the site of occurrence of the disease Grahani Dosha is the organ Grahani. This disease entity engenders from impairment of Agni (Mainly Mandagni) i.e. Agni Dushti. Thus, Agni Dosha (malfunctioning of enzymes responsible for digestion) is main culprit in causation of Grahani Dosha  and Grahani Dosha is a precursor or forerunner of Grahani Roga.

Key words: Grahani Dosha, Grahani Roga, Annavaha Srotasa, Agni
