Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is the result of an abnormal response by your body’s immune system. Normally, the cells and proteins that make up the immune system protect you from infection. In people with IBD, however, the immune system mistakes food, bacteria, and other materials in the intestine for foreign or invading substances. When this happens, the body sends white blood cells into the lining of the intestines, where they produce chronic inflammation and ulcerations.
Treating Colitis is a challenge for any doctor. It is a chronic inflammatory disease and the colitis that is present in the intestines requires time to heal. The difficulty is that the intestines have to work day in and day out and cannot get any time to rest. Our heart, lungs, intestines have to work 24 hours in a day. They don’t get time to heal themselves. The inflammatory process can be helped by eating things that are light and don’t put too much strain on the digestive system.
Taking too many steroids and anti-inflammatory medicines that are usually given in the allopathic system does not help much in the long run. These tend to suppress the immune system and restrain the inflammatory process. Long term use of steroids has its own side. This is why patients look for some alternatives to the steroids. And this is where Ayurveda and Homeopathy comes in.
These alternative medicines help you in curing without having any side effects. The biggest advantage of Ayurveda and Homeopathy is that it is mild in nature and tends to modify the body’s natural immunity. It is the body’s immune system to protect it from all sorts of damage, whether from bacteria or viruses or from any other disease. It also helps in repairing any damage that may occur at any time. It is advisable to boost the immune system to fight any disease rather supressing the symptoms of disease by Allopathic medicines. Natural herbs and Homeopathic medicines help strengthen the natural immunity of the body so that it can perform its natural functions in a more efficient manner.
Our medicines are highly effective in treating ulcerative colitis. However, the extent to which a patient will show recovery depends on the intensity of disease, duration of disease and individual response of the patient. Mild to moderate cases of ulcerative colitis recover wonderfully well under our mode of treatment. In severe cases, Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines can provide great symptomatic management and support.
Our medicine is of no use in case of perforated ulcerated colon and toxic mega colon. We advise you to seek traditional colitis treatment in severe cases of colitis.
