Abstract: In this present era of altered food habits, where people are behind the taste of instant foods which attracts them with colours and flavours, gastro intestinal disorders take up prime position among other metabolic diseases. Irregular timing of food consumption, over or under eating, high calory diet, sedentary life style, artificial food additives, fibre less diet, protein rich food items, suppression of natural urges as well as too much of spicy, oily and refrigerated consumables adds up the risk of gastro intestinal disorders. Among the such disorders, the most common is acute or chronic constipation associated with abdominal distention; considered as the root cause of many other diseases. Treatment principles of Ayurveda, emphasises the significance of Agni, Koshta shudhi and Vata anulomana ahead of all other specific treatments. To ensure the smooth functioning of Mahakoshta, the proper functioning of Grahani is considered inevitable. A necessity of a simple cost-effective medication having minimal ingredients and maximum efficacy becomes a need of the era. This brings forth the significance of a yoga like Dhanyavilwadi kashaya, mentioned under Grahani chikitsa, in Sahasra yoga, specified on Vataja Grahani. This paper portraits a clinical trial with Dhanyavilwadi Kashaya on a trial group of 10 patients with symptoms of Vataja Grahani with vibanda and anaha along with literary review of the ingredients of Kashaya.
