A non-healing ulcer or diabetic sore is one that does not respond to initial treatment and persists despite appropriate care. Diabetic ulcers generally tend to develop on the legs and feet due to poor circulation or edema in the lower extremities. When an ulcer forms and the skin is broken, the wound is exposed to air and bacteria, and the underlying tissues are at risk of infection.

In Ayurveda, these types of non-healing ulcers are a Kapha disorder associated with "sweet blood." An ulcer may not heal for several reasons including inflammation, infection, or poor circulation to the affected area. Without ample healthy blood supply, the area won't have sufficient nutrients to heal.

Blood thinners such as manjistha, and circulatory stimulants such as pippali, will improve blood flow. Known as the "sweet killer," gymnema is the top choice in Ayurveda for balancing blood sugar levels and destroying sweet blood. It can also be appropriate in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Avoid rich, sweet foods like ice cream and cheesecake, and favor a Kapha pacifying diet instead.

In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, and in some Californian hospitals, bloodletting (rakta mokshana) is used to detoxify and purify sweet blood. It is also used reduce the risk of amputation in serious cases of non-healing ulcers. Leeches secrete anticoagulants in their saliva that keep blood flow strong to the affected area and prevent tissue death.

DIET REMEDIES FOR 'NON-HEALING SORE / ULCER'

AVOID DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS THAT AGGRAVATE THESE EFFECTS

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.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 4

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.

About the Author

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda. His approach to Ayurveda exudes a certain ease, which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda , which specializes in digestive tract pathology & Ayurvedic nutrition. John and his wife Natalie recently published Explore Your Hunger: A Guide to Hunger, Appetite & Food.

John's interest in Ayurveda and digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, including his public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well.
