Abstract Introduction
Vibandha is a commonly encountered gastrointestinal disorder in pediatric practice and can be correlated with functional constipation in contemporary medicine. It is characterized by difficult and painful defecation, hard stool, abdominal discomfort, excessive straining, and reduced appetite, which adversely affect the quality of life of children. Ayurveda describes Vibandha mainly as a manifestation of aggravated Apana Vata associated with derangement of digestive functions.
Case Report
A 4-year-old female child presented with complaints of hard stool, painful defecation, infrequent bowel movements, abdominal discomfort, and loss of appetite for one year. The patient had previously received temporary symptomatic relief with laxatives. The child was treated with Dadima Yog in Avaleha form, administered in a dose of 3 g twice daily for 30 days.
Results
Marked improvement was observed in bowel frequency, stool consistency, appetite, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and painful defecation. By Day 30, approximately 86% symptomatic improvement was observed.
Conclusion
Dadima Yog showed significant therapeutic efficacy in the management of Vibandha in children. The formulation was found to be safe, effective, and well tolerated in improving bowel habits and digestive functions.
