Lactose Intolerance is a condition wherein an individual can’t completely digest the sugar present in milk, known as lactose. When such individuals consume dairy items, it causes them diarrhoea, bloating and gas.
In Ayurveda, there is an explanation of a condition called Grahani, in which symptoms of Lactose intolerance are discussed. ‘Dugdha Asamyata’ is the term for lactose intolerance in ayurvedic text.
Lactose Intolerance is caused by an imbalance in dosha, which prompts an imbalance in the Agni. When Agni cannot digest the lactose totally, lactose intolerance manifests.
Ayushakti, while treating this condition, attempts to eliminate the root cause.
What kind of indications of lactose intolerance may indicate that you are suffering from this condition? Lactose intolerance symptoms include bloating, gas, loose bowels and other GI issues. It is possible to eliminate the symptoms of lactose intolerance by following an Ayurveda diet, Home Remedies and Treatment plan.

Secondary lactose intolerance-related diseases include celiac illness, digestive infections, Crohn’s infection, and bacterial growth.
