Ulcerative Colitis (Rakta Atisara in Ayurveda) is an inflammatory bowel disease, which causes inflammation and ulceration of inner lining of the colon and rectum. Ulcerative colitis is more localized in nature than Crohn’s disease. Colitis can be controlled with numerous medications and in severe cases the only way to treat is through surgical removal of the entire large intestine and replacing the large intestine by J-Pouch.
