ShareWhat is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Leaky gut syndrome, also known as intestinal hyperpermeability is a serious condition caused by the loss of tight junction of the intestinal walls. In addition to the breakdown and absorption of food substances, the digestive system also plays an important role in protecting our body from harmful substances. The walls of the intestine act as a barrier, thereby preventing bacteria and other harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. When the tight junction of intestinal walls becomes more permeable, it will allow these harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. This phenomenon is known as leaky gut. In this condition, widespread inflammation and permanent damage of intestinal viscera may occur if left untreated.
We can correlate the condition “Antraja Vrana” as leaky gut syndrome. Vrana means tearing or splitting of any part of the body. Vrana also means discontinuity of the skin or any other tissues. Here in leaky gut syndrome, the continuity of the intestinal wall is lost, therefore it can be taken as Antraja Vrana. The word “Antra” in the Sanskrit language denotes ‘Intestine’.
Acharya Susruta has mentioned various features of Antraja Vrana. The symptoms include Atisara (diarrhea), malabandha (constipation), kuksha sula (stomach pain), atopa (bloating of the abdomen), etc. Early detection of the condition is important for the fast recovery.
