Which of the following is NOT part of general chikitsa for grahani roga?

• A. Dipan, Pachan, Takra after meals, eating with awareness
• B. Rice with yogurt, ghee, and trikatu
• C. Takra after meals
• D. High-fat, spicy meals daily

Answer: (D)

Grahani roga is managed by strengthening the digestive fire (agni) and supporting smooth intestinal function. The regimen emphasizes stimulating digestion, mindful eating, and nourishing, easily digested foods that protect the gut. High-fat, spicy meals daily, however, do the opposite: they are heavy irritants that can dampen agni, worsen absorption, and aggravate doshic imbalance, making symptoms worse. That’s why it isn’t part of the general chikitsa.

Dipan and Pachan after meals help rekindle and sustain digestive fire, while Takra (buttermilk) after meals aids digestion and soothing the gut. Eating with awareness supports mindful, moderate intake that aligns with gentle digestion. Rice with yogurt, ghee, and trikatu combines light, nourishing grains with nourishing fat and digestive stimulants to support mucosal health and agni, fitting well with Grahani management.
