Cause Of Ulcerative Colitis In Ayurveda
In Ayurveda Ulcerative colitis is known as pittaj grahani. Basically there are three energies – vata, pitta and kapha in our body which represent a healthy body. Imbalance of any of three energies results in the several health issues. Ulcerative colitis is mainly due to the imbalance of pitta dosha with involvement of imbalanced vata dosha in some cases. Pitta dosha gets aggravated due to the consumption of pitta aggravating foods which result in the damage to rakta dhatu (blood tissues) and mamsa dhatu (muscle tissues). Due to this, ama (toxins) get accumulated in the intestine. Accumulation of vata dosha also get aggravated in the lower colon region which causes the mucous accumulation and inflammation.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS?
The usual symptoms presented by cases of ulcerative colitis are:
- Diarrhea mixed with blood
- Diarrhea mixed with mucus
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Blood in rectal examinations
- The patient may become anemic
- Abdominal pain
- Discomfort
