Hello Thanks for explaining what’s going on. Dealing with Crohn’s, ulcers, mucus, and serious constipation is super tough, but Ayurveda can actually help heal things in the long run if you stick with it. YOUR CONCERN So, you’ve got Crohn’s with: • Ulcers all over • Gross, sticky mucus • Really hard poops that are hard to get out • And it’s been going on for a while In Ayurveda, this sounds like: “Vata-pradhana Pittaja Grahani with Pakwashaya Vrana” Basically: • Pitta → causes ulcers, swelling, and maybe some bleeding • Kapha → makes things mucusy and sticky • Vata → gives you constipation, dryness, pain, and makes it hard to heal When these three things are out of whack, you get ulcers that won’t heal and weird bowel movements. Why being constipated with Crohn’s is bad news In your case: • Your stool is like a mirror of your GI system • Your already sore intestines are even more swollen • So, when you try to go, it just makes the ulcers worse What we gotta do: – Make your stools softer – Fix those ulcers – Get rid of the mucus Calm down that crazy immune system All at the same time! AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT 1. Mahatikta Ghrita 1 teaspoon first thing in the morning on an empty tummy This is key for Crohn’s. It: • Heals up the ulcers • Keeps your immune system from going nuts • Fixes your gut lining • Cools down that burning Pitta 2. Abhayarishta– YES, but the right way Yes, you can take this, but not by itself! How much: 15 ml with the same amount of warm water at night It: • Makes stools softer • Gets your colon working right • Keeps you from hurting the ulcers when you poop But you need to have it with the ghrita so it doesn’t bug you. 3. Kutajarishta 15 ml twice a day after you eat It helps with: • Mucus • Gunk coming from the ulcers • Swelling that’s like an infection 4. Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder ½ teaspoon twice a day with warm milk Really: • Heals ulcers • Soothes your intestines • Keeps you from bleeding 5. Triphala Ghrita (a little bit) ½ teaspoon before bed Stops: • Really bad constipation • Hurting the ulcers • Dryness Food is Medicine for Crohn’s ✅INCLUDE • Rice • Moong dal (lentils) • Ghee (clarified butter) • Cooked veggies • Pomegranate • Coconut water • Buttermilk ❌AVOID • Wheat • Raw veggies • Nuts • Milk • Coffee • Fried stuff • Spicy stuff How Long Will It Take to Get Better? Crohn’s doesn’t go away overnight. Ulcers need like 4–6 months to really heal. But with this plan: • Constipation should get better in 2–3 weeks • Less mucus in 3–4 weeks • Pain and irritation from ulcers will chill out • And things should stop coming back Important to Know Crohn’s is your body attacking itself, not an infection. Ayurveda helps by: – Fixing your gut lining – Calming down your immune system – Getting Vata-Pitta-Kapha back in balance Not just masking the symptoms. Just so you know… You’re not broken. Your gut is just sore and needs some TLC, not a harsh cleanse. If you really commit to this, your intestines can heal. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
Thank you
Could Kutajarishta make me more constipated?
Thank you for your prompt and detailed reply. Appreciate it.
Anything to be taken to calm the hyper nervous system?
Crohn’s disease isn’t just about your gut. It’s also tied to an overactive nervous system. Brahmi capsule – 1 capsule before bed with warm milk It: calms your vagus nerve, eases anxiety, helps you sleep, stops gut spasms, and boosts immunity. It’s medicine for both your gut and brain. Abhyanga (oil massage) – Don’t skip this! Every night: Warm sesame oil, rub it on your stomach, feet, and spine then take a warm bath. This can help a lot with constipation, gut pain, and feeling tense.
Crohn’s disease (multiple intestinal ulcers) in Ayurveda is usually understood as Grahani + Pittaja / Vata involvement + Vrana (ulcer) in intestine. When constipation + mucus + difficult stool are present, it shows Vata obstruction with inflammation. Treatment focus → Heal ulcers, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, soften stool, strengthen intestine.
