What Is Crohn’s Disease and How Can Ayurveda Help in Naturally Managing Inflammatory Bowel Conditions? - #16149
A close friend of mine was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and I started researching more about it to understand what causes it and whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to manage it. Since it is a chronic condition, I want to learn about holistic approaches that can support long-term gut health. From what I understand, Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes severe digestive issues, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and malabsorption. But what I do not fully understand is why some people develop Crohn’s disease while others do not. Is it primarily genetic, or do diet and lifestyle play a significant role? Also, does stress worsen the symptoms? I have read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing digestion (Agni) and reducing gut inflammation through herbal treatments. Are there Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Kutaja, or Bilva that help in soothing the digestive tract and managing Crohn’s disease symptoms naturally? If anyone has successfully managed Crohn’s disease using Ayurvedic methods, I would love to hear what worked.
