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.
In Ayurveda, UC resembles pittaja grahani or rakta atisara- a condition marked by inflammation, mucosal erosion and disturbed digestive fire.
-PITTA DUSHTI= inflammation, bleeding
-VATA VITIATION= cramping, bloating, urgency
-MANDAGNI= weak digestion
Phase wise treatment is ideal and highly effective in managing ULCERATIVE COLITIS- especially in chronic cases like yours.

Thank you mohd shuaib for sharing your health concern

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.
