BACKGROUND

Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation affecting various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are chronic, non-specific, inflammatory, ulcerative diseases that have no known etiology. Possible risk factors include immunological factors, infectious agents (such as bacteria, virus or amoeba), dietary factors (including chemicals and drugs), and psychosomatic factors. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease usually occur between ages 14 to 24, or between 50 to 70. Clinical presentations of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease vary greatly depending on the extent and severity of the illness. The initial presentation begins with gradual onset of diarrhea with mucus and blood. There are symptomatic and asymptomatic intervals of diarrhea. Patients may also experience tenesmus and left lower quadrant pain and cramps. Optimal treatment requires use of herbs to address the cause, the symptoms, and the complications.
