**Pichcha-Basti: An Ancient and Effective Ayurvedic Approach**
Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, the Pichcha-Basti treatment is a specialized form of Panchakarma therapy. It is particularly recommended for patients suffering from:
– Colitis
– Muco-colitis
– Ulcerative Colitis
– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
– Crohn’s Disease
– Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
With over 37 years of practice, Dr. Prerak Shah has treated hundreds of patients with these chronic and challenging conditions. Such diseases are often long-lasting and difficult to manage, even with modern medicines and steroids. For many patients, Ayurveda becomes the last resort after other treatments fail, or they seek Ayurvedic care when they begin experiencing side effects from long-term use of modern medications.
Pichcha-Basti, as outlined in classical Ayurvedic texts, is part of the larger Panchakarma therapeutic system. However, Dr. Shah has developed his own unique approach to this procedure, honed through decades of experience and a deep dedication to his patients. While thousands of Ayurvedic doctors perform this treatment in India, the difference at Ayulink lies in the precision, care, and expertise that Dr. Shah and his team bring to each patient’s case. The results often seem unbelievable, with patients assured of positive outcomes.
**Colitis and UC Management Program at Ayulink**
Our management program for Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is designed to provide a comprehensive and long-lasting solution to these debilitating conditions. The program is divided into five key phases:
**Phase 1: Initial Consultation and Dietary Changes (1 Week)**
After an in-depth consultation, we create a personalized diet and lifestyle plan. Ayurvedic herbal medicines are introduced, and the patient’s diet is controlled to initiate healing.
*Target: Begin internal healing, control symptoms, and strengthen the digestive system.
**Phase 2: Panchakarma Treatment – Basti Karma (2-3 Weeks)**
This phase involves daily Panchakarma treatments, specifically Basti Karma, for approximately two hours each day. Typically, during this phase, bleeding stops, mucus production decreases, and bowel movements become more regular.
*Target: Control stool frequency, stop bleeding, reduce mucus production, and stabilize bowel movements.
**Phase 3: Tapering Modern Medicines (3 Months)**
Under close supervision, we begin to taper down modern medicines. Patients are monitored daily, either in person or via social media if they live abroad. This phase can be challenging due to potential side effects from withdrawing modern medicines.
*Target: Gradually reduce and stop the use of modern medications.
**Phase 4: Tapering Ayurvedic Medicines (5-6 Months)**
Patients begin to reduce their reliance on Ayurvedic medicines while adjusting their lifestyle and diet to support long-term health.
*Target: Achieve a symptom-free, healthy life with minimal or no medication for the condition.
**Phase 5: Rasayana and Metabolic Strengthening**
In this final phase, we introduce Rasayana (rejuvenation) therapies and liver tonics to enhance metabolism and restore balance to the digestive fire (Agni).
**Target: Maintain a healthy life with specific lifestyle and dietary guidelines, supported by rejuvenating therapies.
**Dietary Recommendations:**
Throughout the program, we emphasize a 100% vegetarian or vegan diet. Patients are encouraged to consume light, easy-to-digest foods to ensure proper digestion and assimilation during treatment.
**Building Trust in Ayurveda:**
The key to success in this program is the patient’s trust and faith in the healing power of Ayurveda. At Ayulink, our team is committed to guiding each patient through their healing journey with care, expertise, and unwavering support.
