Inflammatory
bowel disease refers to two chronic diseases
that cause inflammation of the intestines:
Ulcerative Colitis and
Crohn's disease. Although the
diseases have some features in common, there
are some important differences. Ulcerative
colitis is an inflammatory disease of the
large intestine, also called the colon. In
ulcerative colitis, the inner lining - or
mucosa - of the intestine
becomes inflamed and develops ulcers .
Ulcerative colitis is often the most severe
in the rectal area, which can cause frequent diarrhoea. Mucus and blood often appear in
the stool (feces) if the lining of the colon
is damaged. Crohn's
disease differs from ulcerative colitis
in the areas of the bowel it involves - it
most commonly affects the last part of the
small intestine (called the terminal
ileum) and parts of the large
intestine.
However, Crohn's disease isn't
limited to these areas and can attack any
part of the digestive tract. Crohn's disease
causes inflammation that extends much deeper
into the layers of the intestinal wall than
ulcerative colitis does. Crohn's disease
generally tends to involve the entire bowel
wall, whereas ulcerative colitis affects
only the lining of the bowel.
ULCOBLISS
is a completely herbal formulation
which promotes total intestinal
health and effectively reduces
inflammation in the intestine. It
helps stop the repeated episodes of diarrhoea and abdominal cramps
besides improving the overall
health. It promotes healing of ulcer
and helps strengthen intestinal
immunity.
How
It Helps:
-
A safe and total support for optimum
bowel health.
-
Recommended as the best supportive
supplement in crohn’s disease, ulcerative
colitis and irritable bowel disease.
-
Helps
normalize
intestinal motility and reduces repeated
episodes of diarrhea.
-
Helps stop the bleeding, damage and leakage of the
intestine wall.
-
Helps relax the bowel
muscles and reduces abnormal
abdominal cramps.
-
Checks the ongoing inflammatory process in the intestine.
-
Strengthens the intestinal mucosa,
normalize mucous secretion and promotes
healing.
-
Strengthens the immunity and blocks
abnormal immune reactions.
-
Reduces stress and anxiety, triggering factor which
worsens the discomfort.
-
Checks the further progression of the disease and enhances
regenerative process.
-
Helps to overcome from
associated general debility and weakness.
Recommended Dosage and
Duration: 1-2
tablet two times a day after
meals with water for minimum of
6-8 months. In case of repeated
episodes of diarrhoea and more
pronounced abdominal cramps take
2 tablets three times a day for
3-4 weeks and then maintain
regular dose of 1-2 tablet
thereafter.
Dietary Recommendation and
Lifestyle Modification:
Dietary changes that help one
person with inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) may not relieve symptoms
in another. Recommendations
depend on the part of your
intestine that is affected and
which disease you have.
Generally limit dairy products
and avoid highly seasoned foods
and foods high in indigestible
fiber.
Eat
smaller more frequent meals and
low fat diet. Getting enough
rest, regular exercise and
reducing stress also seem to
improve symptoms.

Boswellia serrata (Indian Olibanum tree), Shallaki:
In ancient Ayurveda text boswellia was
used for joint disorder & Raktaja
Atisar
(blood mixed diarrhea).
Pharmacological studies have found that
extract from the gum resin of Boswellia
serrata (Indian olibanum, a relative of
frankincense) possesses anti-inflammatory
properties. In particular, the boswellic
acids which is the active priciple in
Boswellia serrata, inhibit the enzyme
5-lipoxygenase which is responsible for
the production of leukotrienes. Since
the inflammatory process in inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) is associated with
increased function of leukotrienes, the
benefits of Boswellia in the treatment
of both chronic colitis (ulcerative
colitis) and Crohn's disease have shown
positive result. It also directly
inhibits intestinal motility with a
mechanism involving L-type Ca2+
channels. The extract of Boswellia
serrata prevents diarrhoea and
normalizes intestinal motility in
pathophysiological state. These results
could explain, at least in part, the
clinical efficacy of this Ayurvedic
remedy in reducing diarrhoea in patients
with inflammatory bowel disease.

Glycyrrhiza
glabra (Licorice) Mulethi:
Licorice is a sweet and soothing herb
that has been appreciated for its
medicinal qualities for thousands of
years. Licorice has been used in the
healing of ulcer and in irritable
condition of mucous membrane. The
demulcent actions of the root extract
coats and soothes the ulcerated tissue in crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Licorice has also got immune modulatory
and adaptogenic property, which is
required in inflammatory bowel diseases.

Bacopa monnieri (Thyme leaved gratiola)
Brahmi:
It reduces stress and anxiety, the
triggering factor which worsens
irritable bowel disease. It strengthens
the immunity thus reduces excess immune
response noticed in irritable bowel
disease. A study evaluated brahmi
along with Aegle marmelos is very useful
in the treatment of irritable bowel
syndrome when diarrhea is a prominent
symptom.

Aegle marmelos
(Bael):
The various parts of the bael plant are
used in Ayurveda and Unani medicine for
treatment of a variety of diseases,
including treatment of diarrhea,
dysentery and dyspeptic symptoms. It
contains tannin and mucilaginous
substances which
have been clinically proven to help
patients suffering from
diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel
syndrome. Marmelosin, isolated from the
bael plant, has been reported to have
anti-helminthic and anti-bacterial
activity. Further gastroenterological
interest in bael comes from the finding
that oral administration of luvangetin,
a pyranocoumarin isolated from the seeds
of Aegle marmelos, protected against
multiple models of G.I.T ulceration.

Curcuma longa (Turmeric) Haldi:
The active ingredient of turmeric
reduces the production of an
inflammatory chemical called NF-kappaB.
This chemical is involved in a variety
of inflammatory conditions such as
arthritis, dementia and bowel disease.
The scientists discovered that turmeric
is able to reduce inflammation in the
lining of the bowel and improve overall
bowel health.
Inflammation is not the only change that
takes place in the bowel during an
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) attack.
The small muscles around the bowel can
also become irritated and cause muscle
cramps, which is manifested by the
sensation of needing to get to a toilet
straight away. Turmeric significantly
blocks these abnormal muscle cramps and
relaxes the bowel muscles, so helping to
improve the movements of the smooth
muscle within the bowel. Turmeric is
able to block the chemical histamine,
which can also cause the small muscles
of the bowel to contract abnormally.
This dual action of Turmeric's i.e
ability to reduce bowel inflammation
as well as in controlling abnormal
muscle contractions in the bowel,
translates into less frequent and less
severe IBS attacks. In particular, as
the functioning of the bowel becomes
more normal following treatment with
turmeric, less gas is produced inside
the bowel, and fewer cramps and bouts of diarrhoea result.

Asparagus racemosus (Indian Asparagus)
Shatavari:
Asparagus racemosus has been found to be
an effective antiulcerogenic agent,
protects mucosal damage in IBS.
Asparagus racemosus causes an
inhibitory effect on release of gastric
and intestine secretion, which can
prevent bout of diarrhea. Also rich
with essential nutrients which help
prevent malnourishment in IBS patient.
Also used as immunomodulator.

Althea officinalis (Marsh Mellow)
Gulkhairo:
Marshmallow root has a high protein and
mucilage-carbohydrate content which the
body can use to manufacture the
necessary materials for new tissue
production. Marshmallow also has
mucilaginous (adhesive) properties
enabling it to surround and expel
foreign and toxic matter, having a
soothing effect on the inflamed mucosal
membrane tissue. Marshmallow has been
found to relieve irritation and
inflammation of the mucous membranes of
the respiratory and gastrointestinal
tracts and to help normalize mucous
secretions.
