Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Homeopathy Treatment in Chennai

Updated: May 11



Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of symptoms that affect your digestive system. It’s a common but uncomfortable gastrointestinal disease, or condition that affects your intestines.


What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?


IBS is a chronic disorder that affects the large intestine (colon) and commonly manifests as a group of symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. These symptoms can vary in severity and duration, often waxing and waning over time. While IBS doesn't cause permanent damage to the intestines or increase the risk of serious diseases such as colon cancer, it can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

Types of IBS


  • IBS with constipation (IBS-C): Most of your poop is hard and lumpy.

  • IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D): Most of your poop is loose and watery.

  • IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS-M): You have both hard and lumpy bowel movements and loose and watery movements.

  • IBS unsubtyped (IBS – U): This type is allotted to persons who do not fit in any above types.


Causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome:


Several factors may contribute to its development, including:

  1. Abnormalities in the gastrointestinal nervous system: Communication issues between the brain and the gut may lead to disturbances in bowel function and sensitivity.

  2. Muscle contractions in the intestine: Contractions that are stronger and last longer than normal can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, while weaker contractions can result in constipation.

  3. Inflammation in the intestines: Low-grade inflammation in the intestines may play a role in triggering symptoms of IBS.

  4. Changes in gut microbiota: Imbalances in the gut microbiota, the trillions of bacteria residing in the digestive tract, have been implicated in IBS.

  5. Food intolerance: Sensitivities or allergies to certain foods may contribute to IBS.

  6. Stress: IBS is more common in people who experienced severe stressors, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

Symptoms of IBS:


  1. Abdominal pain or discomfort: This is often relieved by passing stool.

  2. Bloating and gas: Many individuals with IBS experience bloating and excessive gas, which can contribute to discomfort.

  3. Changes in bowel habits: IBS can cause alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea, or individuals may predominantly experience one or the other.

  4. Mucus in the stool: Some people with IBS notice the presence of mucus in their stool.


The conventional system of medicine has practically no treatment for IBS, but homeopathy does. Homeopathy does not treat diseases but rather human beings suffering from diseases, thus ensuring a complete cure.  Homeopathic treatment work on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and also treats the disturbances in the stress system, makes an individual capable of dealing with various psychological problems, and maintains equilibrium between the mind and body. This treatment helps to reduce the severity and restore the altered function of the intestine. It also helps to reduce the frequency of attacks and improve the overall well-being of the individual. Thus, the root cause of IBS is taken care of and this is evident with the improvement in the relief from the symptoms at the physical level.
