Disorders of Gastro intestinal tract are common in the present era. They have increased to such an extent that they now include autoimmune disorders as well. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is one such autoimmune disease. It is an idiopathic disease involving an immune response of the body to its own intestinal tract. Influence of psychological factors on IBD causation are stress(chinta), depression, anxiety (udvega) etc. The stress induces changes in GI function, such as increased intestinal permeability and visceral sensitivity and altered GI gut motility, which could lead to IBD symptoms. In today’s fast-moving world, everybody is under a sense of urgency, stress or any other psychological influence. Our shastra says food should be consumed at the right time, in the right place, in a proper state of mind. In contrary to this, the dining table has now become a round table conference for discussing all the matters and exuberating the emotions during the intake of food. The way you are feeling when you eat has an impact on how you digest. So psychological factors have become a major cause of IBD. Different ways can be adopted to treat IBD as Deepana, Pachana, Shodhana, and Rasayana, following proper Dinacharya, Rutucharya, and Sadvrutta, Ahara should be consumed as per Ahara Vidhi Vidhana. Population based studies estimate the prevalence of IBD to 42 %. Considering the increasing rate of gastrointestinal disease across the world, the treatment approach through Ayurveda is the need of the hour. So in order to remove a disease from its root, the causative factor should be understood and ruled out completely. So in this study, analysis of role of psychological factors in IBD will be done.
