THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For ulcerative colitis and related symptoms, aligning your treatment with Ayurvedic principles can be highly beneficial. Let’s first tackle the digestive concerns. Ulcerative colitis often correlates with an aggravated Pitta dosha; thus, cooling and soothing measures are essential. You might want to include herbs such as Kutaj (Holarrhena antidysenterica) – known for its properties in managing bleeding and diarrhea related to colitis. A common preparation is Kutajghan vati—take two tablets twice a day after meals with warm water.

Next, for bloating and digestive issues—consider Triphala churna. Take one teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Triphala helps in cleansing the colon and enhancing the digestive fire or Agni, crucial for balanced digestion.

Tinnitus and vertigo-like sensations hint at Vata imbalances. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) or Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) might help in pacifying Vata and alleviating anxiety and dizziness. You could take 1-2 grams of Brahmi powder with warm milk in the morning. Meanwhile—as powdered Ashwagandha—half to one teaspoon before bed with milk can provide a calming effect.

Diet and lifestyle play a critical role. Favor cooling foods such as cucumber, cilantro, cardamom, and mint, avoiding spicy, fried, and fermented food that aggravates Pitta and Vata. Practicing yoga techniques like Shavasana (corpse pose) or simple breathing exercises may soothe dizziness or anxiety.

Please note—it’s crucial to follow these remedies under the guidance of a qualified practitioner, especially considering your comprehensive symptoms and their potential interplay. If symptoms worsen, seeking immediate professional medical attention is advisable. Implementing these suggestions could gradually enhance your well-being, aligning your body’s balance holistically.
