Colitis is an inflammation of the colon. Associated syndromes include Chron’s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The inflammation is often accompanied by diarrhea, constipation, colic, and cramp-like pains. These conditions are often auto-immune in origin, related to food allergies, or activated by stress.
Treatment Plan for Colitis
An herbal program can include intestinal anti-inflammatories, anti-allergenic herbs, intestinal heat-clearing herbs for people with excess constitutions, and antispasmodics.
