AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON CROHN'S DISEASE

The symptoms of Crohn's are pain in the lower right side of the abdomen with diarrhea, fever and weight loss. Crohn's in the ileum presents with abdominal pain above the pubic bone. Crohn's starts with inflammation around Peyer's patches that spreads through the wall of the intestine, causing fibrosis. The wall of the intestine becomes thick and rigid, with a cobblestone appearance. The inflammation narrows the intestines causing stricture. The inflammation may lead to fistula, adhesions and anal lesions. The likelihood of contracting Crohn's increases 30 times if a family member has the disease.

Crohn's is a Vata pushing Pitta disorder with poor digestion, inflammation, fermentation, and stagnation of food in the cecum. The cecum is a general hotspot for digestive disorders in Ayurveda as food tends to stagnate there and ferment. Crohn's is considered an auto-immune disorder in western medicine. As Crohn's may damage the terminal ileum, bile acid malabsorption is common.

Ayurvedic Treatment Approach

  • Massage of the cecum
  • Soluble fiber
  • Herbs to soothe inflammation and detoxify the colon
  • Therapeutic Enemas
  • Avoid hot, sharp foods that irritate the digestive tract
  • Kitchari cleanse to reset your body for a healthy new start

    Disclaimer: 'Crohn's Disease' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

    Balance Your Body with Diet, Herbs, & Lifestyles Having These Biocharacteristics

    Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics (gunas). Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Crohn's Disease', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.

    HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4

    CROHN'S DISEASE IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4 - TISSUE DISEASE

    If you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development. (See all disease stages on JB)

    AVOID DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS THAT AGGRAVATE THESE EFFECTS

    According to Ayurveda, one or more of the following doshas and biocharacteristics may aggravate 'Crohn's Disease'. If you have an excess of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics below, Ayurveda recommends reducing foods and lifestyle habits that aggravate them. Click on the biocharacteristic to learn what foods and lifestyle habits should be reduced.

    Symptoms Tell A Story

    The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances. Symptoms show you where your body is weakened. Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself. Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics. If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

    HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

    ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

    WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

    Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

    HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

    Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

    On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
