Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the ileum and large intestine, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, abscesses, and fistulas. This condition can affect any part of the digestive tract, though it commonly affects the lower part of the small intestine called the ileum and the large intestine. Both Crohn’s disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are thought to involve immune reactions that target the intestinal tract.

In Ayurveda, Crohn’s Disease is referred to as a form of Grahani, which is a condition caused by the aggravation of Pitta Dosha, leading to inflammation and digestive disturbances. Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach to address the root cause of Crohn’s disease, providing natural and effective treatments for long-term relief.
