Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is an immune mediated chronic intestinal condition. UC is a mucosal disease that usually involves the rectum, and extends proximally to involve all or part of the colon. The major symptoms of UC are diarrhea, rectal bleeding, tenesmus, and passage of mucus and crampy abdominal pain. In modern medicine so many drugs and even surgery are mentioned for treatment of ulcerative colitis but, these drugs only control the episodes of the disease and not cure them; moreover these modern drugs have a huge list of possible side effects like intolerance and toxicity to other organs like liver, kidney, pancreas, eyes, etc.
