Get your B12, Iron, and Magnesium checked—deficiencies can worsen fatigue. Consider a gut-friendly diet like SCD or low-FODMAP to reduce inflammation naturally.

When managing Crohn's Disease through Ayurveda, it’s important to consider your unique constitution (prakriti) and how your doshas might be imbalanced. Given your situation, focusing on calming Pitta dosha, known for its fiery quality that can lead to inflammation, would be beneficial. Here's a holistic approach you might consider: First, let's talk diet—eating should aim to pacify Pitta. Try incorporating cooling and soothing foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and sweet fruits like pear and melon. Avoiding spicy, sour, and fermented foods will help too, as they tend to aggravate Pitta. Also, split meals into small portions and eat them at regular intervals to support your agni (digestive fire). Lifestyle habits are equally essential. Incorporate calming activities such as yoga or meditation to reduce stress, which is a known trigger for flare-ups. Gentle yoga postures, especially those that focus on the abdomen, can support digestion and ease symptoms. Avoid overexertion that contributes to tiredness; rest adequately, creating a balanced routine that includes regular sleep patterns. Herbs can be supportive as well! Triphala is excellent for balancing Pitta and enhancing digestion. Prepare a tea with Vatasara guggulu and drink it before meals. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can be added to your meals or taken as a supplement. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before introducing herbal supplements, especially while on other medications. Finally, consider Ayurvedic therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) using coconut or olive oil to calm Pitta and enhance your energy levels, helping alleviate tiredness. Always track your symptoms and communicate with your gastroenterologist, as this condition may require a combination of Ayurveda and medical therapy for the the best outcome.
