Ayurvedic View
Grahani- due to following of nidanas (causes), like consumption of virudha ahara (incompatible food), adhyashana (having food before digestion of previous food) etc, leads to agni mandhya (low digestion or metabolism) leads to prakopa (aggravation) of kapha dosha when person consumes guru (heavy), abhisyandi ahara (food that which blocks channel), this saama kapha (toxic causing) after reaching grahani (duodenum- that which is responsible for metabolism and absorption) and blocks normal functioning of grahani, samana vayu, apana vayu, pachaka pitta (all responsible for food digestion and absorption) leading to not having capacity to digest heavy food, the formed toxins causing inflammatory reaction of intestine, this is inflammatory bowel disease. Ayurveda way of approach is to correct agni (metabolism) of jatara agni and dhatuva agni, bring dosha back to prakruta awastha (balanced state-place, quality and normal functioning), improve proper functioning of grahani by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment and internal medication.
