Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders
What are the gastrointestinal disorders?
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, rectum, and associated organs. These disorders may be functional (e.g., IBS, dyspepsia) or structural (e.g., GERD, ulcers, diverticulosis). Inflammatory conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease involve immune dysfunction, while infections (H. pylori, gastroenteritis) and cancers (colorectal, gastric) pose serious health risks.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the joint lining, causing inflammation, swelling, and eventual joint damage.
Gout: A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and severe pain, often in the big toe.
Psoriatic Arthritis: A type of arthritis linked to psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition.
Ankylosing Spondylitis: A form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, causing inflammation and stiffness.

Common Symptoms of Skin Diseases
Ayurvedic Perspective on Skin Diseases
In Ayurveda, skin diseases are primarily associated with an imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern various physiological and pathological functions of the body. The skin, known as “Twacha”, is deeply connected to Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscle tissue), and Rasa (plasma/lymph), and any disturbance in these elements can manifest as skin disorders.
Ayurveda treats skin diseases holistically by addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms. A combination of detoxification, herbal remedies, a balanced diet, and lifestyle modifications ensures long-term skin health and vitality. For personalized treatment, consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended.
