Ulcerative Colitis (Raktatisaar)
Treated Successfully for 25+ Years with Authentic Ayurvedic Therapy
Natural healing for patients resistant to conventional treatments
What is Ulcerative Colitis?
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract. In Ayurveda, it is known as Raktatisaar, a condition characterized by inflammation of the colon and rectum.
The condition affects the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum, causing long-lasting inflammation and sores (ulcers) that can lead to severe symptoms and complications.
While conventional medicine often relies on immunosuppressants and surgery, Ayurveda offers a natural alternative that addresses the root cause and promotes lasting healing.
Common Symptoms
Known Causes
How Ulcerative Colitis Affects the Intestines
Healthy Colon
Normal intestinal lining with healthy mucosa and regular function
Moderate UC
Inflamed tissue with some ulceration and compromised function
Severe UC
Extensive ulceration, bleeding, and severely impaired function
How Raktatisaar (Ulcerative Colitis) affects the intestines?
In Ulcerative Colitis, inflammation is triggered by some unknown elements. Hyperemia and swelling occur as part of the vascular response. The swollen, engorged bowel is fragile and is therefore inclined to ulcerate, thus creating a break in the mucosal barrier. Digestive enzymes and intestinal bacteria act upon this exposed tissue, causing further irritation, inflammation, ulceration and bleeding.
How to diagnose Raktatisaar (Ulcerative Colitis)?
Raktatisaar (Ulcerative Colitis) diagnosis is done after carefully taking the history and physical examination of the patients, then the patients are subjected to sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy examination. The rectum and colon are seen through a flexible optical / camera tube which is inserted through anus. During this examination a sample of tissue from the lining of the colon is taken to observe under a microscope. This is called a histopathology examination. A barium enema is helpful in determining the nature and the extent of the disease in patients.
Diagnosis Procedure
Comprehensive evaluation for accurate assessment
Medical History & Physical Exam
Detailed review of symptoms, family history, and physical examination to assess overall health
Blood Tests
CBC to check for anemia, ESR/CRP to measure inflammation levels
Stool Studies
Analysis to rule out infections and detect blood or inflammatory markers
Colonoscopy & Biopsy
Visual examination of the colon with tissue samples for definitive diagnosis
Imaging Studies
CT or MRI scans to assess extent of inflammation and complications
