Since the system of Ayurveda classifies most diseases predominantly
based on the symptoms, it categorizes both Crohn's disease and
ulcerative colitis in the disease called 'Pravaahika', and hence
these two conditions have been clubbed here together for a common
overview of their Ayurvedic treatment. Treatment is aimed at
correcting the basic pathology of the diseases, controlling
symptoms, preventing or reducing complications and boosting the
immune system of the body. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
are both inflammatory bowel diseases which can be painful and
debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life- threatening
complications. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain and
cramping, blood in the stool, ulcers, reduced appetite and weight
loss, and fistula or abscess. Heredity and an abnormal immune
system are believed to be the common causes of these conditions.
Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of the large
intestine and rectum in continuous stretches; whereas Crohn's
disease occurs in patches anywhere in the digestive tract, and
often spreads deep into the layers of the tissues.
