Why does active ulcer bleeding - #3217

For a 12-year-old boy diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis, elevated creatinine and urea, and active ulcers (mouth, food pipe, and intestines), Ayurveda may offer supportive treatment to help manage symptoms and promote healing, but it should always complement conventional medical care. Here are some general Ayurvedic approaches that may be considered under the supervision of a trained Ayurvedic practitioner: Detoxification (Panchakarma): Virechana (purgation therapy) could be considered to eliminate excess toxins and balance Pitta (which governs inflammation). However, this should only be done under expert supervision. Herbal Remedies: Triphala: Known for its detoxifying and digestive-supportive properties, it may help with ulcers and promote gut health. Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): An herb that may support immune function and inflammation, useful in autoimmune conditions like vasculitis. Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Its anti-inflammatory and healing properties can support ulcer healing and manage systemic inflammation. Amla (Indian gooseberry): High in vitamin C, it can help strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. Dietary Changes: Focus on cooling and easy-to-digest foods (e.g., soft, warm soups, and porridges) to avoid aggravating the ulcers and manage Pitta. Avoid acidic, spicy, or deep-fried foods that could worsen symptoms. Include ghee (clarified butter) in moderation to soothe the digestive tract. Stress Management: Practices like yoga and meditation can help manage stress, which may exacerbate autoimmune conditions and inflammation. Support for Kidney Function: Herbs like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) may be used to support kidney function, but only under professional guidance. Important Notes: Always work closely with a healthcare provider, especially given the severity of the condition and potential complications like kidney involvement and active ulcer bleeding. Ayurvedic treatment should be tailored to the child’s specific condition and health status and should be used alongside conventional treatments. Caution: Avoid self-prescribing herbal remedies without the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor, especially in serious conditions like vasculitis.
