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
