Gastrointestinal and Hepatology
In Ayurveda, gastritis is associated with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, leading to excess heat and inflammation in the stomach. Treatment includes cooling herbal remedies, dietary changes to reduce acidity, lifestyle adjustments to calm Pitta, and Panchakarma therapies tailored to individual needs to soothe the digestive system.
Gastro duodenal ulcers are seen as a Pitta imbalance leading to erosion of the stomach lining. Ayurvedic treatment includes soothing herbo mineral preparations, dietary modifications, and therapies to balance Pitta and heal the ulcers.
GERD is caused by aggravated Pitta, leading to acid reflux and heartburn. Ayurveda treats GERD with cooling medications, dietary changes to avoid acidic foods, and stress management techniques to pacify Pitta and improve digestion.
In Ayurveda, IBS is seen as an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to irregular bowel movements and abdominal discomfort. Treatment includes calming herbs, herbomineral combinations, digestive support, and lifestyle changes to balance the doshas and regulate digestion. Vasti (medicated enema) is particularly effective in these cases.
Malabsorption occurs due to weak digestive fire (Agni) and dosha imbalances, leading to poor nutrient absorption. Ayurveda strengthens Agni through herbomineral remedies, dietary changes, and panchakarma therapies to enhance nutrient absorption.
Cholecystitis, or gallbladder inflammation, is associated with an aggravated Pitta dosha. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on detoxifying the liver and gallbladder with herbs, dietary adjustments, and therapies to reduce inflammation.
Gastroenteritis is seen as a Vata and Pitta imbalance causing stomach and intestinal inflammation. Treatment includes soothing medicines, light diet, and therapies to calm the digestive system and restore balance.
In Ayurveda, Crohn’s Disease is seen as a chronic imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to inflammation in the digestive tract. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory medicinal combinations, digestive support, and therapies to heal the intestines and restore dosha balance. Vasti (medicated enema) has shown effective results in healing, while customized gold-based medicines have proven effective in preventing flare-ups.
Ulcerative colitis is linked to Pitta-Kapha imbalance, causing colon inflammation. Ayurvedic treatment includes medicines, dietary changes, and detox therapies to reduce inflammation and heal the colon.
Portal hypertension is seen as a complication of liver dysfunction due to aggravated Pitta. Ayurveda treats it with liver-supportive herbs, dietary changes, and panchakarma therapies to reduce pressure and support liver health.
Ascites, or fluid accumulation in the abdomen, is related to Kapha-Vata imbalance and liver dysfunction. Treatment focuses on ayurvedic principles including detox therapies, and dietary changes to reduce fluid retention and balance the doshas.

Fatty liver is seen as a Kapha imbalance leading to excess fat accumulation in the liver. Treatment includes medicines that detoxify the liver, dietary changes to reduce fat intake, and therapies to balance Kapha and support liver health.
Liver cirrhosis is linked to aggravated Pitta and Kapha causing scarring of the liver tissue. Ayurveda treats it with liver-healing meds, dietary changes, and detox therapies to reduce inflammation and promote liver regeneration.

In Ayurveda, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) is linked to imbalances in Pitta and Kapha doshas. Pitta imbalance causes inflammation, while Kapha imbalance leads to sluggishness and enlargement of the spleen. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing these doshas with unique combination of medicines, detoxifying therapies, and dietary changes to support spleen function and improve digestion.
In Ayurveda, amoebiasis is viewed as an imbalance of the Pitta and kapha doshas leading to digestive tract inflammation and infection. Treatment focuses on balancing Pitta and kapha with mediocines, detoxifying the digestive system, and using herbomineral combinations to address the infection.
