The article offers an Ayurvedic framework for understanding and managing ulcerative colitis that may interest patients seeking complementary approaches and clinicians exploring integrative care. It emphasizes dietary and lifestyle strategies alongside traditional therapeutic principles.
Adult patients interested in complementary/traditional medicine, clinicians considering integrative approaches, researchers of IBD and complementary therapies
The paper is a literature-based Ayurvedic conceptual analysis (Samprapthi) that maps UC signs—bloody/mucopurulent diarrhea, cramping—onto traditional categories such as Grahani Roga, Purishavaha Sroto Dushti, and Pitta–Raktadhika Sannipatha.
It recommends three main management principles from Ayurveda: avoid causative factors (Nidana Parivarjana); use therapies aimed at correcting impaired digestion/metabolism (Deepana–Pachana) and promoting wound healing (Vrana Ropana); and follow a tailored low-residue Pathya diet.
The article appears framed as a classical-texts-driven review and conceptual proposal rather than a controlled clinical trial or new experimental data. It synthesizes ancient Ayurvedic sources with contemporary clinical literature to present a holistic protocol.
This is a conceptual literature review using classical Ayurvedic sources alongside modern clinical literature; it does not report new clinical trial data or outcomes. Treating UC should continue to be guided by evidence-based clinical care and specialist advice.
Review the original publication for the complete reporting, methods, and context.
