Ileocolitis is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the ileum and the colon. According to Ayurveda, it is considered an imbalance of the body's doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, leading to inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract.
Ileocolitis is caused by the imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas according to Ayurveda. When these doshas get aggravated, they affect the digestive fire (Agni), leading to the production of toxins (Ama) which cause inflammation in the ileum and colon. Acharya Charaka in Charaka Samhita, Sutra Sthana, 20/11 mentions:
"Pitta prakopad vidagdham pittam jathyascha pitheshmadhyath" - Aggravation of Pitta dosha leads to inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract.
This shloka explains that conditions like Ileocolitis are related to dosha imbalances and can be managed by pacifying these doshas.

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
