Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic disease involving an immune reaction of the body to its own intestinal tract. IBD is comprised of 2 major disorders which include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. They are most often diagnosed in adolescence and young adulthood, with a rising incidence in pediatric populations. Although children can present with the classic symptoms of weight loss, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea, many presents with nonclassic symptoms of isolated poor growth, anemia, or other extraintestinal manifestations.
According to Ayurveda, Crohn’s can be compared to ‘Grahani’disease. In Ayurveda, Grahani is actually an anatomical term to describe small intestines (specifically Ileum and jejunum). Any vitiation or inflammation to this particular part by imbalanced Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) can cause a wide variety of symptoms similar to that of Crohn’s disease, anywhere across the digestive system. The degree and nature of symptoms may vary as per the doshic predominance & involvement.
We have specialized care in the fields of physical, emotional, and behavioral needs of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is Crohn’s disease?
Answer: Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. It primarily causes ulcerations (breaks in the lining) of the small and large intestines but can affect the digestive system anywhere from the mouth to the anus.
Question: What are the causes of Crohn’s disease?
Answer: Crohn’s disease is caused by interactions between environmental, immunological, and bacterial factors in genetically susceptible individuals. This results in a chronic inflammatory disorder, in which the body’s immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract possibly directed at microbial antigens.
Question: What is the Ayurvedic treatment for Crohn’s disease?
Answer: As per Ayurveda, the primary causes of Grahani disease are Mandagni (poor appetite and poor digestion); therefore treatment aims at improving functions of Agni thereby reducing the progression of the disease.
