What is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine (colon), where the inner lining becomes inflamed and develops small open sores (ulcers) that produce mucus and pus.
This inflammation leads to abdominal discomfort and frequent bowel movements.

The condition usually starts in the rectum and may spread throughout the large intestine.
Since it is a chronic disease, symptoms develop slowly over time.

Ayurvedic Perspective of Ulcerative Colitis

In Ayurveda, Ulcerative Colitis can be correlated to Pittaja Grahani.

According to Ayurveda, perfect health exists when the three doshas—Vata, Pitta and Kapha—are in balance.
When Pitta dosha becomes aggravated, it affects the intestines and leads to Pittaja Grahani.

  • Common Causes of Pitta Imbalance
  • Poor digestion (Mandagni)
  • Irregular or improper eating habits
  • Heavy, junk or indigestible foods
  • Excess spicy, sour, pungent or acidic food
  • Excess heat exposure
  • Smoking, alcohol
  • Mental stress, anger
  • Not following Pathya (dietary rules) after digestive illnesses
