Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s Disease is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disorder that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the small intestine and colon. It causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition. Crohn’s is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to long-lasting inflammation and damage to the digestive lining.
Symptoms may occur in flare-ups, with periods of remission in between. Though modern medicine primarily offers immunosuppressants and steroids for symptom control, Ayurveda provides holistic, long-term relief by addressing the root causes of inflammation and digestive imbalance.
Chiraayu Ayurveda’s Approach to Crohn’s Disease
In Ayurveda, Crohn’s Disease is viewed under “Grahani Roga”, a condition associated with impaired digestion, Agni (digestive fire) dysfunction, and vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas. Chronic inflammation, weak metabolism, and accumulation of Ama (toxins) play a significant role.
At Chiraayu Ayurveda, we address Crohn’s Disease by healing the gut lining, regulating Agni, pacifying doshas, and strengthening the immune and digestive systems—naturally and gently.
