Does practicing yoga soothe ulcerative colitis? Will changing diet provide relief? Natural and alternative remedies might not be your primary approach to treating colitis, but they can actually help you in managing the symptoms and reducing the frequency of flares.

Colitis is a chronic condition of the large intestine and since the main source of this disease is yet to be found, your best chance of leading a normal, healthy life is managing the symptoms. Medications like, immune system suppressors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids are usually prescribed, but they have major side-effects that can last long.

Thanks to Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, the leading naturopathy retreat center in India, there are effective natural treatments that you can consider. Some of the natural remedies that we recommend to our guests are given below.

  • Diet change: Maintaining a healthy diet is a foundational treatment if you are suffering from colitis. You need to avoid a diet high in fats, dairy products, greasy foods, raw fruits and vegetables, and caffeine. However, there is no one-size-fits-all and hence, you can schedule an appointment with our naturopathy doctors for a personalized diet plan.
  • Regular exercises: A weakened immune system, decreased bone density, stress, emotional health problems and weight gain are some of the complications associated with colitis. These complications can be managed by exercising. We highly recommend yoga as it promotes relaxation, along with targeting the digestive system.
  • Massage therapies: It might be hard to believe, but stress plays a key role in inflammatory bowel diseases like, colitis. We suggest therapeutic massage therapies for dealing with stress. By freeing yourself of stress and anxiety, you can look forward to leading a healthy life.

The above-mentioned are some of the natural therapies that we recommend our guests. You can come to our naturopathy retreat center near Mumbai and stay for a week to truly know the difference that our natural treatments can make. Not only will we help you in managing colitis, but also boost your overall well-being so that you can lead a fitter, healthier and happier life. So, make your reservations.
