HELLO,

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation in the large intestine (colon) -It causes sores (ulcers) inside the colon lining. -This leads to bleeding , pus, mucus in stop, abdominal pain, bloating, reduced appetite, weakness, and weight loss -It usually occurs in flare ups (active phase) and remissions (silent phase)

AYURVEDIC VIEW -It is understood as a type of Raktatisara/ pittaj grahani- meaning excess heat + blood vitiation + weak digestion -When digestion is weak, Ama (toxic undigested food ) forms, irritating the intestine-> mucus, pus, and gas -Continuous inflammation leads to bleeding and ulceration

TREATMENT GOALS -Stop active bleeding and reduce inflammation -improve digestion and stop formation of ama -heal ulcers and strengthen colon wall -restore appetite, energy and prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KUTAJGHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =stops diarrhea, reduces mucus and infection

2) BILVADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water twice daily after meals =binds stool, reduces diarrhea, heals ulcers

3) ARJUNA CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water twice daily =controls bleeding, heals ulcer, strengthens intestine

4) ISABGOL HUSK= 2 tsp in lukewarm water at night = soothes intestines, absorbs toxins, normalize stool

5) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with milk =cools down pitta, heals mucosal lining

6) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning daily =pitta Shamana

DIET -rice gruel, khichdi with moong dal -buttermilk (thin, roasted cumin and rock salt) -pomegranate juice -cow’s ghee (heals colon ulcers) -coconut water -soft cooked vegetables - ash gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkin -fruits= apple (boiled/steamed), banana (ripe, in moderation)

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried food -red chilli, pickles, vinegar, excess sour -junk food, packaged food -coffee, alcohol, smoking -wheat in excess can cause bloating -pulses like chana, rajma, soybeans (cause gas)

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -Stress management is critical stress worsens UC -Adequate rest and proper sleep -Avoid staying awake late at night -Avoid day sleep -Eat at regular timings- don’t skip meals

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana after meals -pawanmuktasana -shavasana

PRANAYAM -sheetali/sheetkari -nadi sodhana -avoid heavy kapalbhati / bhastrika during flare ups

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Pomegranate juice= 100 ml daily for bleeding -Tender coconut water- soothes intestines -Buttermilk with cumin- improves digestion, reduces mucus -Boiled apple/stewed apple- easy digestion and healing -Cow’s ghee- 1 tsp daily with rice or warm water

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Colonoscopy- to see extent of ulceration -Stool test to rule out infection, check pus cells -Blood test- CBC, ESR/CRP -Liver and kidney function test

-Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition- can be managed but needs long-term care -Never stop allopathic medicines suddenly Ayurveda can be taken alongside -During flare ups with heavy bleeding, severe pain, dehydration-. hospitalisation is mandatory -Ayurveda works best for long term remission, reducing flare frequency, improving digestion, and quality of life -Pateince and consistency are key- diet, stress control , and regular medication are essential

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand how distressing ulcerative colitis (UC) can be with symptoms like frequent loose stools, mucus or blood in stool, and abdominal pain affecting daily comfort and confidence. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

✅For Bleeding and Inflammation Control

1 Kutajghan Vati 2-0-2 after food – Natural anti-diarrheal, reduces inflammation.

2 Bilvadi Churna 1 tsp with warm. Water after breakfast – Improves digestion and stops loose motion.

3 Nagakeshara Churna 1 tsp with warm water after lunch – Reduces bleeding and soothes intestinal lining.

✅For Healing and Repair

Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp morning empty stomach – Heals mucosa and supports absorption.

Changeryadi Ghrita 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water – Especially helpful if there is dryness and mild constipation.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include

Warm, freshly cooked, light meals. White rice with Moong dal, ghee, and rock salt. Pomegranate juice, buttermilk (takra) with roasted cumin. Banana, boiled apple, and pumpkin soup. Use of cow’s ghee daily (1–2 tsp).

❌ Avoid

Spicy, sour, fried, fermented, and processed foods. Curd (especially at night), heavy beans, and raw salads. Tea, coffee, alcohol, and smoking. Excess fasting or irregular meals.

Avoid mental stress, anger, and late nights — they aggravate Pitta. Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom Pranayama) daily. Maintain fixed meal and sleep timings. Gentle walks after meals aid digestion.

With proper Ayurvedic care, ulcerative colitis can be managed effectively without dependency on steroids or immunosuppressants.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Ulcerative colitis (UC), particularly proctosigmoiditis is chronic inflammatory condition that needs tailored approach in Ayurveda. The focus is on managing inflammation, healing the gut lining, and balancing the aggravated doshas, predominantly Pitta and Vata.

First, dietary modifications are crucial. Incorporate khichari, a soothing blend of rice and mung dal, seasoned with cumin, coriander, and a hint of turmeric. Avoid foods that aggravate Pitta like spicy, sour and fried foods. Dairy products, particularly buttermilk mixed with a pinch of dry ginger and cumin powder, can be beneficial in healing the intestine.

Second, Ayurvedic herbs can provide relief. Bilva (Aegle marmelos) fruit pulp has astringent properties that support gut health. As an isabgol powder (Psyllium husk) can be taken with water in the morning to help with bowel movements. Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder may soothe inflammation; mix half teaspoon with warm water and take twice daily.

Thirdly, lifestyle adjustments are essential. Engage in Yoga practices like Pavanamuktasana and Paschimottanasana, which promote digestive health. Adequate sleep and stress management also plays a vital role, as stress can exacerbate UC symptoms. Try breathing exercises like Anulom-Vilom to calm the mind.

Furthermore, panchakarma therapies like Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and Basti (medicated enemas) may be advised but only under guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner, considering the current condition and symptoms.

Lastly, regular checkups with your healthcare provider is advised to monitor progression of the condition. If symptoms become severe or worsen, seek immediate medical attention to ensure there are no complications needing conventional medicine intervention. This integrative approach aims at not just symptomatic relief but promoting the overall health of the gut.

Ulcerative colitis, especially in its proctosigmoiditis form, can indeed be approached effectively with Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. This condition is typically understood as an imbalance involving the Pitta dosha which often manifests as heat or inflammation in the colon. The goal is to pacify the Pitta dosha, support Agni (digestive fire), and strengthen the body’s dhatus (tissues).

Firstly, incorporate Trivrit Lehyam into your daily routine. It’s a classical preparation that assists in detoxifying the colon and balancing the Pitta. Take about 5-10 grams of it in the morning, preferable on an empty stomach. It’s best mixed with slightly warm water for better assimilation.

Next, consider consuming Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). Take it in powder form, around 2-3 grams mixed with warm water before bedtime. It helps in cleansing the colon and restoring function.

Dietary changes play a crucial role. Focus on consuming a diet that’s cool and soothing, avoiding spicy, oily, and overly acidic foods. Coconut water, buttermilk, and fresh pomegranate juice are beneficial. Cooked vegetables that are easy on digestion, like squash or zucchini, can support healing.

Don’t neglect lifestyle adjustments. Regular practice of Pranayama, especially sheetali and sheetkari techniques, can cool the system and support mental clarity.

Should symptoms persist or worsen, it’s imperative to consult a healthcare professional promptly as UC can sometimes escalate and require more immediate attention. Integrating these Ayurveda practices can be remarkably beneficial, but always ensure they are complementary to any conventional treatments you might be undergoing.
