4. Diarrhea

Diarrhea is known as Atisar in Ayurveda. It is due to improper food, impure water, toxins, mental stress, and Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). All these factors are responsible for aggravating Vata. This aggravated Vata brings fluid into the intestine from various tissues of the body and mixes with the stool. This leads to loose, watery motions or diarrhea. Taking Arjuna chhal (bark) helps to control the frequency of motion and helps to retain fluid in the body. This is because of its Kashaya (astringent) and Sita (cold) property.
