The Kaumarabhritya branch of Ayurveda focuses on childhood diseases and their treatment, aiming to enhance immunity, physical and mental strength, manage nutrition and control disease prevalence in growing children. Herbal drugs are becoming more popular for treating paediatric gastro intestinal disorders due to their safety, efficacy and minimal side effects. Common conditions in children, such as Ajeerna, Udara shoola, Atisara, Vibandha, Chardi, Mukha paka etc can be managed by herbal remedies. Herbs like Ativisha, Musta, Pippali, Ajamoda, Vacha, Draksha, Eranda, Shatapushpa, Grahani beelu and Chakrani can be used in these ailments either single or in combination depending upon the disease and its severity. However, the use of herbal drugs in paediatrics requires careful consideration due to the limited clinical data, potential interactions with conventional medications, and variability in product quality and dosage. More rigorous studies are needed to establish standardized guidelines and ensure the safe and effective use of herbal drugs in managing paediatric GI disorders.
