Ulcerative colitis

“I have always diarrhoea.” “Painful abdominal cramps dominate over every other aspect of my life.” “I always have blood in my stools.”

This or a similar experience is what people report with regard to their suffering from ulcerative colitis.

Recurring attacks of diarrhoea, intestinal bleeding as well as stomach cramps and intense bloating characterize this inflammation in the colon. The urge to evacuate is often uncontrollable – the stool cannot be held back. There can be up to 40 evacuations daily and it’s understandable that this weakens the person enormously.

Modern medicine assumes this is a chronic immune reaction against the intestinal flora with genetic factors also playing a part, and which can be aggravated by stress and strain.

What is the Vedic medicine point of view on ulcerative colitis?

Metabolic residues develop continuously due to improper lifestyle. In the case of ulcerative colitis, toxins (in Ayurveda called “Ama”) accumulate in the colon. Everyone affected knows that food intolerance and heavy foods as well as stress and an unstable nervous system can serve as an amplifier or recurring trigger to the familiar symptoms.

In Ayurveda every patient is different and so each person’s ulcerative colitis complaint varies. The Ayurvedic approach at our Centre is holistic.

Vedic medicine offers different methods of treatment. After an in-depth medical diagnosis at our Centre, a comprehensive treatment plan is individually tailored for each patient with ulcerative colitis complaints.

They recognize that healing must take place on all levels. In the case of ulcerative colitis complaints, for example, an emphasis on elimination of toxins, reduction of substances that foster inflammation as well as balancing of daily nutrition can be recommended. It is important to bring all natural regulatory principles back into harmony. Nutritional recommendations and helpful exercises, as well as specific herbal mixtures tailored according to your needs, support a health-conscious lifestyle. In this way, your natural self-healing abilities can re-establish a healthy colon.
