What is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic disease affecting the large intestine, also known as the colon. It is one of the most common inflammatory bowel diseases. Ulcerative Colitis causes inflammation and ulceration on the inner lining of the colon and the rectum. The disease usually first appears in the rectum and gradually moves upward to the colon.

In the case of ulcerative colitis, the immune system starts attacking harmless bacteria and food, mistaking them for foreign particles. The immune system then sends white blood cells to the lining of the colon to fight off an infection that is not even there. This then leads to the chronic inflammation of the colon and the rectum. The symptoms of the disease do not come spontaneously, as it is a chronic disease, and their severity increases over time

Ayurvedic Treatment for Ulcerative Colitis is a form of treatment given by Ayurveda, which is the most ancient form of medicine practised for centuries and today is adopted by millions of people from all around the world. Ayurvedic cure for ulcerative colitis aims to address the root cause of the condition, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Holistic Healing for Ulcerative Colitis through Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, ulcerative colitis is called pitta Grahani, and it is believed to be caused by a buildup of toxins and impurities in the body. This disease primarily affects pitta dosha, but there is also some involvement of Vata dosha. Ama, or impurities and toxins, accumulate due to the consumption of pitta-rich foods. Eating pitta-aggravating foods gradually forms a coating on the colon lining. The immune system treats it as a foreign substance, leading to an attack on the colon and affecting both blood and muscle tissues. Ayurveda offers remedies to assist Ulcerative Colitis patients with managing its effects. In Ayurvedic medicine, there are various approaches to managing ulcerative colitis symptoms during flare-ups, including the use of herbal remedies, plant-based treatments, oils, spices, and meditation.
