Abhyantar - #3338

Anonymously

I recently started learning about the different types of Ayurvedic therapies, and I came across Abhyantar. From what I’ve read, Abhyantar focuses on internal treatments, but I’m confused about what exactly this includes. Does Abhyantar refer to herbal medicines, or does it also cover things like diet and detoxification? For someone dealing with digestive issues, would Abhyantar treatments involve specific herbal combinations, or would it be more about making dietary changes? I’ve been having bloating and irregular digestion for months, and I’m wondering if Abhyantar therapies could help me. Also, is there a connection between Abhyantar and the use of Panchakarma? For example, do internal treatments like Abhyantar always include purgation or cleansing, or can they work without such intense processes? If anyone has undergone Abhyantar therapies, I’d love to know how they were used and what results you noticed.

Doctors’ responses

**Abhyantar** in Ayurveda refers to **internal treatments** aimed at cleansing, balancing, and nourishing the body from within. While it does include the use of **herbal medicines**, it also encompasses dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and detoxification practices to address various health concerns, including digestive issues like bloating and irregular digestion. For someone with digestive issues, Abhyantar therapies would likely involve a combination of **digestive herbs**, like **Triphala** or **Amla**, to support Agni (digestive fire) and improve digestion. It may also focus on **dietary changes**, emphasizing easy-to-digest foods, warm meals, and avoiding foods that aggravate digestion. Additionally, **lifestyle recommendations**, such as mindful eating, reducing stress, and eating at regular intervals, are an integral part of the treatment. Abhyantar is often part of the **Panchakarma** detox process, but it doesn't always require intense purgation or cleansing. It can work without these drastic procedures, depending on the individual's needs. The focus is on restoring balance and nourishing the body through more gentle internal treatments, such as **herbal decoctions**, **ghee**, and **oil-based therapies**. If you've been struggling with digestive issues, Abhyantar therapies could help you find long-term relief by addressing the root causes through holistic, internal support.
