Crohn\u2019s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines<\/a>, which is characterized by the inflammation and ulcerations on any part along the digestive tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"inflamation<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In people suffering from Crohn\u2019s disease, some parts of the digestive system become swollen and develop ulcers (deep sores). The disease generally affects the distal part of the small intestine (ileum) and the colon (large intestine) that is, the portion of the digestive tract which marks the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. However, it can also affect any other part of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the mouth, stomach or anus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crohn\u2019s disease is closely related to Ulcerative Colitis, which is also a chronic inflammatory condition that involves only the colon. Crohn\u2019s disease and Ulcerative Colitis are together classified as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the main symptoms<\/strong> indicating the occurrence of Crohn\u2019s disease include abdominal pain, bloating or cramping, gas, mouth ulcers, vomiting, diarrhea<\/a>, blood in stool (rectal bleeding), bowel obstruction, anal fissures, fever, fatigue, reduced appetite, and weight loss. Moreover, the disease may also cause skin rashes, inflammation of the eye, arthritis, lack of concentration, and other complications outside the gastrointestinal tract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact reason for the occurrence of Crohn\u2019s disease is not known. Nevertheless, the disease is believed to be caused by genetic factors, an abnormal immune system response, viruses, bacteria, mental stress or smoking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crohn\u2019s Disease: Ayurvedic Perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Ayurveda, Crohn\u2019s disease is comparable to \u2018<\/strong>Grahani<\/em>\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0disease, which affects the small intestine (particularly ileum and jejunam), and leads to inflammation because of the imbalance of the body\u2019s three doshas<\/em> – Vata, Pitta, <\/em>and Kapha<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crohn\u2019s disease, in initial stages, is caused by the vitiation of a Vata. <\/em>The disease is usually considered a Vata<\/em> pushing Pitta<\/em> disorder which is linked to inflammation and poor digestion, resulting from fermentation and stagnation of food in the cecum (a pouch that connects to the intersection of the small and large intestines). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayurvedic experts believe that the occurrence of Crohn\u2019s disease and other digestive disorders is linked to Mandagi<\/em> (poor digestion and poor appetite), improper diet habits, consumption of junk food, and the condition of diarrhea and irritable bowels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
