About Our Ayurvedic Treatment of Rectal Prolapse
Our treatment is not a single herb or a single formula, it is a structured healing modality based on Ayurvedic herbs principles and customized for individual patient.
In accordance with Ayurveda, rectal prolapse happens because of weakening of muscles, tissues and ligaments of the rectum, as well as an aggravation of the Vata dosha, which is a bodily principle providing movement and support. We use the following treatment modalities simultaneously:
- Balancing the internal imbalances that have caused this weakening of the tissue in the first place, instead of treating just the prolapse itself.
- Increasing the strength and tone of the pelvic floor muscles and rectal walls so that the organ stays in place.
- Repairing the damaged tissue in order to bring it back to its proper strength, elasticity and positioning.
- As we treat the cause and not the symptom, we achieve sustainable results, which is why the recurrence of our patients’ symptoms is none.
