Understanding the Different Types of Crohn’s Disease
Table of Contents
Introduction
Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affects millions worldwide. Unlike ulcerative colitis, which is limited to the colon, Crohn’s can impact any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the mouth to the anus. In Ayurveda, Crohn’s disease is linked to an imbalance in Pitta and Vata Doshas, leading to chronic inflammation, weakened Agni (digestive fire), and impaired nutrient absorption. Understanding the different types of Crohn’s disease helps in tailoring an Ayurvedic treatment approach that targets the root cause of inflammation and promotes gut healing.
At EliteAyurveda, we specialize in personalized Ayurvedic treatments, addressing Crohn’s disease holistically through customized herbal formulations, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
Different Types of Crohn’s Disease
Types of Crohn’s Disease & Their Ayurvedic Perspective
1. Ileocolitis (Inflammation of the Small & Large Intestine)
Symptoms: Cramping, diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition.
Ayurvedic View: This type is linked to Vata-Pitta imbalance, causing excessive dryness in the intestines and inflammation.
Treatment Focus: Strengthening Samana Vata, balancing Pachaka Pitta, and improving digestion using deepan (appetizing) and pachan (digestive) herbs.
2. Ileitis (Inflammation of the Small Intestine – Ileum)
Symptoms: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malabsorption.
Ayurvedic View:Weak Agni and Vata imbalance cause nutrient malabsorption, leading to depletion of Ojas (vital energy).
Treatment Focus: Enhancing Jatharagni (digestive fire) and nourishing Rasa Dhatu (plasma tissue) to restore gut health.
3. Gastroduodenal Crohn’s Disease (Inflammation of the Stomach & Duodenum)
Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and gastric ulcers.
Ayurvedic View:Pitta aggravation leads to excessive acidity and ulceration.
Treatment Focus: Cooling Pachaka Pitta, reducing hyperacidity, and protecting the gut lining using mucilaginous herbs.
4. Jejunoileitis (Patchy Inflammation of the Upper Small Intestine – Jejunum & Ileum)
Symptoms: Mild to severe cramps, diarrhea, and malabsorption.
Ayurvedic View: This is due to Vata and Pitta imbalance, leading to irregular bowel movements and weakened digestion.
Treatment Focus: Rejuvenating intestinal health with rasayana (rejuvenating) therapy and Vata-Pitta pacifying herbs.
5. Crohn’s Colitis (Inflammation of the Colon)
Symptoms: Persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, ulcers, and fistulas.
Ayurvedic View:Kapha-Pitta imbalance contributes to mucus build-up, inflammation, and infection.
Treatment Focus: Detoxifying the colon using Virechana (purgation therapy) and Kapha-Pitta balancing herbs.
