HELLO MOHD SHUAIB, Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon and rectum. While allopathic treatment like mescal and steroids can control acute symptoms, Ayurveda provides a long-term approach to reduce inflammation, heal the colon lining , and prevent relapses.

Dr. Rukkam Sharma
With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

Understanding ulcerative colitis through the lens of Ayurveda, it often correlates with a vitiation of the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolic and digestive functions. When Pitta becomes imbalanced, inflammation along with digestive disturbances like diarrhea ensues. Managing this condition holistically involves dietary adjustments, specific lifestyle changes, and herbal formulations targeted to soothe and balance Pitta while supporting digestion and strengthening Agni. Firstly, diet plays a crucial role. Consume light, cooling, and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy foods, fermented products, and processed foods, which can exacerbate Pitta and inflame digestion. Opt for fresh, home-cooked meals—steamed veggies, well-cooked grains like rice, and lentil soups are generally well-tolerated. Milk is cooling but should be consumed boiled and warm, with a pinch of turmeric added to aid digestion. Hydration is key, but ensure your water is lukewarm to maintain digestive balance. Herbal teas made from fennel, coriander, or ginger can aid digestion as well. Ghee is beneficial in moderation—it lubricates and heals the intestinal tract. On the herbal front, Ayurvedic formulations like Kutajarishta and Bilva are known for tackling diarrhea, but it's essential to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized prescriptions. Sometimes, specific combinations are needed based on one's prakriti (constitution) and current symptoms. Maintaining a regular daily schedule helps stabilize digestion. Aim for meal timing consistency, avoid excessive stress, and include calming practices like meditation and pranayama. Gentle yoga postures, especially twists, encourage detoxification and improve digestion. While these measures can support and augment your current treatments, it's essential to monitor your symptoms closely. Bloating and protracted diarrhea need careful attention, as dehydration and malnutrition risks are ever-present with ulcerative colitis. If you notice any troubling signs, like persistent bleeding or severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention to prevent complications. Lastly, indulg in rest and adequate sleep to allow the body time to heal. Balance is central in Ayurveda—honor your body's signals and adjust accordingly. Though the journey may be long, consistent efforts in aligning your lifestyle with nature's rhythms can bring profound healing.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.
