HELLO,

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation in the large intestine (colon) -It causes sores (ulcers) inside the colon lining. -This leads to bleeding , pus, mucus in stop, abdominal pain, bloating, reduced appetite, weakness, and weight loss -It usually occurs in flare ups (active phase) and remissions (silent phase)

AYURVEDIC VIEW -It is understood as a type of Raktatisara/ pittaj grahani- meaning excess heat + blood vitiation + weak digestion -When digestion is weak, Ama (toxic undigested food ) forms, irritating the intestine-> mucus, pus, and gas -Continuous inflammation leads to bleeding and ulceration

TREATMENT GOALS -Stop active bleeding and reduce inflammation -improve digestion and stop formation of ama -heal ulcers and strengthen colon wall -restore appetite, energy and prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KUTAJGHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =stops diarrhea, reduces mucus and infection

2) BILVADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water twice daily after meals =binds stool, reduces diarrhea, heals ulcers

3) ARJUNA CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water twice daily =controls bleeding, heals ulcer, strengthens intestine

4) ISABGOL HUSK= 2 tsp in lukewarm water at night = soothes intestines, absorbs toxins, normalize stool

5) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with milk =cools down pitta, heals mucosal lining

6) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning daily =pitta Shamana

DIET -rice gruel, khichdi with moong dal -buttermilk (thin, roasted cumin and rock salt) -pomegranate juice -cow’s ghee (heals colon ulcers) -coconut water -soft cooked vegetables - ash gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkin -fruits= apple (boiled/steamed), banana (ripe, in moderation)

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried food -red chilli, pickles, vinegar, excess sour -junk food, packaged food -coffee, alcohol, smoking -wheat in excess can cause bloating -pulses like chana, rajma, soybeans (cause gas)

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -Stress management is critical stress worsens UC -Adequate rest and proper sleep -Avoid staying awake late at night -Avoid day sleep -Eat at regular timings- don’t skip meals

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana after meals -pawanmuktasana -shavasana

PRANAYAM -sheetali/sheetkari -nadi sodhana -avoid heavy kapalbhati / bhastrika during flare ups

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Pomegranate juice= 100 ml daily for bleeding -Tender coconut water- soothes intestines -Buttermilk with cumin- improves digestion, reduces mucus -Boiled apple/stewed apple- easy digestion and healing -Cow’s ghee- 1 tsp daily with rice or warm water

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Colonoscopy- to see extent of ulceration -Stool test to rule out infection, check pus cells -Blood test- CBC, ESR/CRP -Liver and kidney function test

-Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition- can be managed but needs long-term care -Never stop allopathic medicines suddenly Ayurveda can be taken alongside -During flare ups with heavy bleeding, severe pain, dehydration-. hospitalisation is mandatory -Ayurveda works best for long term remission, reducing flare frequency, improving digestion, and quality of life -Pateince and consistency are key- diet, stress control , and regular medication are essential

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand how distressing ulcerative colitis (UC) can be with symptoms like frequent loose stools, mucus or blood in stool, and abdominal pain affecting daily comfort and confidence. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

✅For Bleeding and Inflammation Control

1 Kutajghan Vati 2-0-2 after food – Natural anti-diarrheal, reduces inflammation.

2 Bilvadi Churna 1 tsp with warm. Water after breakfast – Improves digestion and stops loose motion.

3 Nagakeshara Churna 1 tsp with warm water after lunch – Reduces bleeding and soothes intestinal lining.

✅For Healing and Repair

Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp morning empty stomach – Heals mucosa and supports absorption.

Changeryadi Ghrita 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water – Especially helpful if there is dryness and mild constipation.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include

Warm, freshly cooked, light meals. White rice with Moong dal, ghee, and rock salt. Pomegranate juice, buttermilk (takra) with roasted cumin. Banana, boiled apple, and pumpkin soup. Use of cow’s ghee daily (1–2 tsp).

❌ Avoid

Spicy, sour, fried, fermented, and processed foods. Curd (especially at night), heavy beans, and raw salads. Tea, coffee, alcohol, and smoking. Excess fasting or irregular meals.

✅ Lifestyle Guidance

Avoid mental stress, anger, and late nights — they aggravate Pitta. Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom Pranayama) daily. Maintain fixed meal and sleep timings. Gentle walks after meals aid digestion.

With proper Ayurvedic care, ulcerative colitis can be managed effectively without dependency on steroids or immunosuppressants.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing ulcerative colitis, with a focus on balancing the doshas, particularly Pitta, as it often becomes aggravated in this condition. Begin by incorporating a Pitta-pacifying diet. Consume cooling, soothing, and slightly oily foods. Prioritize foods like cooked vegetables, especially pumpkins and squashes, white rice, and lentils like mung dal. Avoid spicy, fried, and sour foods which can flare Pitta.

Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) and Musta (Cyperus rotundus) are herbal selections known to balance Pitta and improve digestive health. Take these herbs in powder form, around ½ teaspoon each, mixed with warm water, twice daily after meals. Always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor dosage to your condition and constitution. Aloe vera juice, taken 30 ml with an equal amount of warm water, also soothes the colon when consumed on an empty stomach.

Ghee, particularly medicated ghee like Panchatikta Ghrita, can be beneficial. It should be taken on an empty stomach, 1 tsp daily, to soothe and heal the gastro-intestinal tract. In the context of lifestyle changes, stress can aggravate UC, so include daily practices like Pranayama and meditation, focusing on cooling breaths such as Sheetali and Sheetkari.

Make sure you’re hydrated but avoid drinking water immediately before or after meals. Room temperature water or herbal teas like coriander or fennel tea are a good option. Rest and adequate sleep are important — aim for early bedtimes and awaken with the sunrise, reflecting a routine that balances the Pitta dosha.

Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is necessary, particularly to check for any serious complications or nutritional deficiencies. If any sudden increase in symptoms or new issues arise, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Combining the structured focus of Ayurveda with conventional treatment under professional guidance, offers the best chance of optimally managing ulcerative colitis.
