Childhood digestive disorders, including constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), are increasingly prevalent, affecting millions of children worldwide. Conventional medical treatments often focus on symptomatic relief, but Ayurvedic approaches approaches, with their emphasis on holistic health, offer preventive and integrative solutions. Ayurveda focuses on maintaining balance in the body’s three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) through personalized dietary changes, herbal treatments, and lifestyle modifications. This paper explores Ayurvedic approaches management strategies for childhood digestive disorders, emphasizing prevention through early intervention. Ayurvedic approaches principles address the root causes of digestive ailments by balancing the digestive fire (Agni), supporting gut health, and improving immunity. Preventive approaches, including dietary adjustments, herbal supplements like Triphala, and therapies such as Abhyanga (oil massage), are discussed. The goal of Ayurvedic approaches interventions is not only to alleviate symptoms but to strengthen the digestive system’s resilience against future disturbances. This review draws on clinical and traditional Ayurvedic approaches sources, assessing the effectiveness of these treatments in managing childhood digestive disorders and preventing their recurrence. By aligning with natural rhythms and individual constitution, Ayurvedic approaches practices offer a comprehensive framework for promoting long-term digestive health in children.
