AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON DIVERTICULOSIS / DIVERTICULITIS

If you have diverticulosis disease, it means you have small, marble-sized pockets in the walls of your colon called diverticuli. Nobody knows why these pockets form, but doctors suspect chronic constipation, gas and bloating as the primary contributing factors. When fecal matter gets stuck in these pockets, diverticuli have a tendency to become inflamed and infected, a condition called diverticulitis.

Diverticulosis is an epidemic affecting 35-45% of Americans over the age of 60. This disorder primarily affects an aging population in industrialized countries. As in all geriatric disorders, metabolism should be rekindled with mild spices.

Ayurvedically, diverticulosis is a sign of high Vata in the colon resulting from poor digestion and elimination. Avoid all difficult to digest food and any food that causes gas. Since gas increases colon pressure, you may notice more pain and discomfort when gassy. If stools are dry and hard - avoid dry food like bread, popcorn, dried fruit, and granola bars that absorb moisture. Instead, favor sour foods that soften stool like applesauce.

Elimination

Avoid straining to eliminate stools. Modify your toilet so that you can poop while squatting, a more natural position for the colon. Contraction and release of the anus (a practice called the root lock), and lower abdominal stretching are key therapies for retoning the colon.

Herbs

Amalaki is an Ayurvedic herb that helps retone your colon. It is found in the formula triphala. Avoid stimulant laxatives and enemas that increase pressure in the lower colon. Adequate fiber, osmotic laxatives and stool softeners may be gentle enough to resolve constipation.

Disclaimer: 'Diverticulosis / Diverticulitis' 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 'Diverticulosis / Diverticulitis', 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

DIVERTICULOSIS / DIVERTICULITIS 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)

Symptoms Tell A Story

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.
