Introduction

Crohn’s Disease is an inflammatory disease characterized by granulomatous, and segmental lesions of the intestinal tract. In the digestive tract, it occurs most commonly at the beginning of the large intestine (colon) and small portions of the ileum. The lesions are plaque-like in appearance that can turn into red or purple-colored ulcers. The lesions can have blisters or fluid drainage with fever. In Crohn’s Disease, people can develop a variety of lesions on the different areas of skin- Perianal lesions, Oral lesions, lesions under the skin, pyoderma gangrenosum, and many more. The most common site for the occurrence of lesions is the face, hands, feet, and genital areas. It becomes common and severe in the areas of friction where two skin patches rub against each other. Since Crohn’s Disease is a chronic disease, thus the symptoms occur over months to years.

Ayurvedic Aspect

Crohn’s Disease can be correlated with the inflammatory condition due to aggravation of Pitta dosha- “Grahani”. In Ayurveda, Grahani is said to be the seat of digestive fire. Any disturbance in the digestive fire due to an imbalance of doshas due to various causative factors will hinder the normal power and working of the digestive fire, which will not digest the food properly and cause Aam dosha (Toxins) accumulation in the various parts of the body. This accumulation will show many abnormal symptoms in the intestine and the whole digestive tract according to the severity and chronicity of dosha’s accumulation (skin lesions and ulcers). Sanshodhan and Sanshamana Chikitsa are indicated for the elimination of these symptoms and management of the disease.
