A CASE STUDY ON VIBANDHA W.S.R. TO CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN

One of the primary causes of the rise in parental concerns is the prevalence of vibandha in children. It happens as a result of a blockage to Apana Vayu's ability to function. In addition to being a disease in and of itself, it can also be a consequence of other illnesses, leading to low quality of life and physical and psychological morbidity. It is characterized by delayed feces or infrequent, painful, and difficult stool transit. The main goals of managing constipation include behavioral training, nutritional changes, and addressing the underlying cause. A 12-year-old girl was brought to the IPD of Kaumarbhritya, Shri Ayurved College and Hospital Nagpur, complaining of hard stools every eight to ten days and trouble passing regular bowel movements. For three to four months, I have experienced intermittent abdominal discomfort, bloating, a burning sensation throughout my body, headaches, appetite loss, and general weakness. For the previous five to six months, these issues persisted. Vibandha is one way to conceptualize this situation. Following a comprehensive clinical assessment and laboratory analysis, Panchakarma treatment, which included Abhyanga, Swedan, and Matra Basti, was initiated along with appropriate internal medications. Significant progress was made in the patient's condition. She was later sent home with medication and dietary instructions to follow.
