Role of Manipura Chakra and Coeliac Plexus in Digestive Activity

Background: Ayurveda integrates preventive and therapeutic care, grounded in core concepts of existence. Chakras, or energy centers along the spine, influence physical, emotional, and cognitive functions, each with petals representing Nadis (energy channels). The Manipura Chakra, located at the navel, aligns with the coeliac plexus, which regulates digestive activity. Existing literature lacks studies exploring the connection between the Manipura Chakra and the coeliac plexus in relation to digestive activity. This study seeks to investigate that relationship. Aim: To analyze the relation between Manipura Chakra and coeliac plexus in relation to digestive activity. Materials and Methods: Current research papers and literature are carefully examined to interpret the impact of Manipura chakra in digestive activity. Results: The celiac plexus is located where the Manipura Chakra resides. The majority of the digestive tract is innervated by the celiac plexus. The branches of the celiac plexus may be connected to the ten Dalas of the Manipura Chakra. The Manipura Chakra is associated with digestion, energy, metabolism, and assimilation. In a similar way, coeliac plexus preserves digestive function. Maintaining proper digestive activity thus requires the activation of both Manipura chakra and the celiac plexus. Discussion: A person's general well-being depends on the organs in their body operating properly. The energy centers known as Chakras have an impact on how a person's body functions. The Manipura Chakra, which is associated with the celiac plexus, aids in healthy digestion. Thus, knowledge of the Chakra and its typical activity is essential for both the regular operation of the digestive system and the avoidance of many ailments.
