Ulcerative Colitis

Care At Every Step!

Ulcerative Colitis is the condition where the lining of the colon and rectum becomes severely inflamed and eventually wears away, forming shallow sores known as ulcers. It is a chronic condition with unknown cause. In this condition if it stays for a longer period, the colon gets permanently damaged. Though people of any age can get affected, it is usually observed in people under the age of 30. It is being referred as inflammatory bowel disease along with a related condition called Crohn’s disease. Most people with ulcerative colitis have inflammation in their descending colon, the section of the intestine that is joined to the rectum but some do have inflammation and ulceration in all of the large intestine. The disease does not affect the small intestine.

Ayurvedic Description Of Ulcerative Colitis :

According to Ayurveda, the disease is called ‘Kshatodara’ which is primarily a disease of Pitta dosha with varying degrees of Vata involvement. Following regimens and excessive consumption of foods that aggravate Pitta adversely affect rakta and mansadhatus. In the lower colon, the aggravation of Vata dosha blocks Pitta and Kapha channels and cause further inflammation, accumulation of mucus and edema.

The dietary factors play a role in pathogenesis of the condition, high consumption of unsaturated fats, vitamin B6 may enhance the risk of developing the condition. People who draw their protein mostly from meat remain at higher risk of ulcerative colitis. Bakery products, fermented food items also increase the risk of ulcerative colitis.

Alcohol

Excessive consumption of alcohol increases the risk of ulcerative colitis and aggravates the condition to a severe level.

Immunity

Though the exact cause is ulcerative colitis unknown, it may be caused by the abnormal response by the immune system to intestinal bacteria.

Stress

A state of prolonged stress, depression have been found to be linked with the condition as observed in most of the patients.

Medical conditions

Prolonged cases of indigestion, ulcers, and colitis are some of the conditions found to be the pre cursor of ulcerative colitis or co exists with it.

Self Care Tips

  • Having 5-6 smaller meals is better than 2-3 heavy meals in the entire day.
  • Drink plenty of liquids, at least 2-3 liters a day, water is the best drink.
  • Alcohol, and its beverages, aerated drinks are strictly prohibited in the condition.
  • Drinks that contain caffeine stimulate the intestine and can make diarrhea worse and carbonated drinks frequently produce gas and bloating.
  • Use multivitamins after taking the advice of your consultant as in ulcerative colitis, the ability of the intestine to absorb nutrients decreases. So, multivitamin and mineral supplements are often helpful.
  • Do exercises like yoga and pranayama, as it reduces stress, relieve depression and normalize bowel function. The expert’s consultation for exercise is suggested in colitis.
  • High oily, fried, stale foods are to be avoided.
  • Self-medication of NSAIDs is not recommended as it can flare up the condition.

There are two major ways of treatments in Ayurveda for ulcerative colitis, Vasti therapy (medicated enema) and oral medications. Normally, Vasti therapy is administered first and followed by oral medications for a sustained and long time relief.

  • With intense gratitude, i am writing these words for 'AAS Ayurveda' that saved me from undergoing an unavoidable surgery. In May 2015, i was diagnosed with a mobile calculus of 7mm in my gall bladder. I was asked to undergo gall bladder surgery by the physician who advised me for the ultrasound. It was around that time, i approached 'AAS Ayurveda' if they have some cure for this as i have read somewhere that these stones can be removed with some Ayurvedic medicines and special diet plans. I was given a dietary regimen along with a prescription of herbal medications which i was advised to follow for the next 10 days. Following this 10 days protocol period designed for me, I was asked to undergo for the ultrasound again. To my great surprise, the stone in my gall bladder was not there anymore. It was flushed away. I express my heartfelt thanks to the ever approachable and empathetic team of 'AAS Ayurveda' for saving me from a surgery and most importantly; an organ of my body.

  • I took detoxification and overweight management plan from AAS Ayurveda, It was just awesomly cherishing, and something I would call ineffable experience for me to put in the words here. I have never felt so light and yet so full. The plan was suitability customised for me so that I will not feel hungry anytime during my day at office. Dr. Bhupesh Vashisht has been very kind and supportive through out this time. He has guided me well about all the details of the plan, my body constitutions, requirements of body. He also helped me to get over of so many myths I was carrying about diet and weight loss. I have lost around 3.5 kgs in 10 days and surprisingly did not give up food at all. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude towards the team of Aas Ayurveda and wishing them all the very best for their future endeavors of guiding people towards a healthy journey.

  • The best thing about AAS Ayurveda is their committment towards their patients. They are always easily approachble and engage deeply with their patients. I would like to thank AAS and their doctors for helping me with a treatment to beat the condition of acne. Actually I had been suffering from acne and pimples on my face from last few years and took lot of allopathic treatment but nothing worked. I got to know about AAS through one of my friend and contacted them. The treatment from AAS Ayurveda really helped me to get rid of acne which I thought once was not possible for me. I see them in great regards for the wonderful services they are providing to their patients.

  • My tedious and tiring working schedule of my job and meetings was keeping me away even from my daily water intake which I only observed when I was asked to submit a detailed case registration form by the team of AAS Ayurveda. I was following a very bad life style with no focus on my dietary habits though I always thought I have been taking healthy food but seldom I noticed it about its nutritious values. Here, AAS came to my help that helped me to manage my diet, work and even exercising schdule. I got the problem of GERD and acidity for which I started to take anta-acids at my own that provided me some initial relief but not after some days. AAS Ayurveda planned my treatment and dietary regimen along with my daily workout schedule. The plan was very detailed and elaborative that showed its results only in 10 days. A big thanks to the entire team of AAS Ayurveda.
