HELLO SOFIE,
In Ayurveda, cronh’s resembles Grahani roga, where the digestive fire is disturbed -Agni becomes either too low -> constipation, bloating, undigested food OR too sharp -> diarrhea, burning, inflammation -This imbalance Creates Ama (toxic byproducts of incomplete digestion), which irritates the intestines -Vata dosha causes pain, cramps , irregularity -Pitta dosha causes inflammation, diarrhea, burning -So, cronh’s is usually a vata-pitta disorder with impaired agni
TREATMENT GOALS -Regulate agni (digestive fire)- neither too weak nor too sharp -Remove ama (toxins)- reduce bloating, foul stools, cramps -Balance vata-pitta= calm inflammation + ease irregular bowels -Heal intestinal lining- improve absorption, reduce flare ups -strengthen immunity- support body while on biologics -Stabilize mind- reduce stress 9which worsens cronhs)
INTERNAL TREATMENT
1) REGULATING BOWEL AND INFLAMAMTION
-KUTAJGHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =controls diarrhea, reduces inflamamtion
-BILVA FRUIT PULP= 1 tsp with warm water once daily =balances both constipation and diarrhea
2) IMPROVING AGNI (DIGESTIVE FIRE0 -Takra siddha churna (buttermilk with roasted cumin, rock salt, ajwain)- 1/2 cup after meals if diarrhea is not severe =improves digestion, reduces bloating
3) HEALING AND NOURISHING
-GHEE (medicated with turmeric or plain cow’s ghee)- 1 tsp with warm rice or milk daily =heals mucosa, lubricates intestine, reduces inflammation
-SHATAVARI POWDER= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night =cooling, soothing, supports mucosal healing
4) CONSTIPATION (if dominant)
-TRIPHALA POWDER= 1/2 tsp In warm water at bedtime =mild bowel regulation, anti -inflamamtroy
5) STRESS AND IMMUNITY
-ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 250mg twice daily with milk =supports strength, reduces stress
-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily =immunomodulatory, balances pitta
DURATION = 3-6 months
THESE will balance doshas, regulate agni, and repair gut lining- while supporting immunity without clashing with biologics
LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

DIET
GENERAL -eat freshly prepared, warm, light, and easily digestible food -avoid raw, cold, and heavy to digest foods -eat at regular times, in calm surroundings, without rushing -small, frequent meals are better than large heavy ones

HOME REMEDIES -Fennel tea= 1 tsp fennel boiled in 1 cup water-> reduces bloating -Turmeric + ghee= pinch of turmeric in warm ghee-> heals lining -Aloe vera pulp= 1 tsp fresh pulp on empty stomach if cooling is needed, avoid if diarrhea is severe -rice gruel= excellent during flare up easy to digest, calming
-Chronn’s is a long term condition but with biologics and ayurveda + mindful lifestyle, many people achieve long remissions and better quality of life -Your presentation shows vata-pitta imbalance-> so aim for warm, soothing, cooked foods, calming routine, gentle yoga and stress management -Ayurveda works slowly but deeply, restoring balance, so consistency is more important than intensity

Balancing nutrition with Crohn’s disease involves understanding your dosha—Vata, Pitta, or a combination—and modulating your diet accordingly. Crohn’s often displays Vata and Pitta imbalances, leading to the symptoms you describe. A focus on grounding and nourishing foods is essential to stabilizing Vata, while cooling, soothing choices can pacify aggravated Pitta.
First, prioritize warm, cooked meals over raw ones to stabilize Vata. Congee, a rice porridge, is excellent; it’s gentle on digestion and can be customized with varying flavors. Incorporate sweet, sour, and salty tastes, which ground Vata, with ingredients like a hint of fresh lime, some ginger, and a pinch of Himalayan salt. Avoid excessively spicy or hot foods that worsen Pitta and can lead to inflammation.
Hydration is key, especially with diarrhea. Warm water sipped throughout the day with a dash of fennel or cumin can alleviate bloating. Herbal teas such as chamomile or peppermint are also beneficial. For constipation periods, ghee in small amounts can lubricate the intestines and support bowel movements; however avoid if diarrhea is present.
Weekly, try to incorporate a cleansing, yet nourishing broth using mung beans, known in Ayurveda for balancing tridosha while being easy to digest. Avoid caffeinated drinks and carbonated beverages as they agitate Vata and Pitta.
Until you confirm your exact dosha constitution, observe how you react to these adjustments. Keep a food journal noting what worsens or alleviates your symptoms. While Ayurveda can guide dietary choices, continue your current biological treatment, as it effectively manages underlying inflammation.
For precise dosha analysis, an Ayurvedic practitioner can help evaluate through pulse or tongue diagnosis. Symptoms fluctuating rapidly might hint at a Vata-Pitta combination—common in Crohn’s. Tailoring your approach with professional input will maximize its efficacy and safety.
