Ulcerative colitis natural plant-based treatment
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can be incredibly uncomfortable and debilitating to live with. Causing inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon and rectum, as well as abdominal cramping and often painful or swollen joints, UC can have a great impact on quality of life. And unfortunately, for many, traditional treatments remain ineffective - or induce unpleasant side effects. This has led some to consider exploring alternative options, including plant-based Ulcerative colitis treatments - which are available to eligible patients at Releaf.

A word from our specialist
“There is increasing evidence that medical cannabis can reduce the intensity of symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, albeit without altering what the condition looks like under the microscope. Irritable bowel syndrome similarly, although a distinct condition from both Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis, can be calmed down considerably by means of cannabinoid therapy.“

Am I eligible?Can I get natural alternatives for ulcerative colitis in the UK?
Yes. If traditional treatments or conventional medicines have been unsuitable at meeting your needs and managing your UC symptoms, or have caused unpleasant side effects, you may be considered eligible for natural, plant-derived treatments at private healthcare clinics like Releaf.
These natural treatments have shown particular promise in helping to manage ulcerative colitis because of the way its natural chemicals interact with the human body, and the common symptoms associated with UC.
Their natural, plant-derived ingredients have shown to have potential in alleviating inflammation and pain, which can be particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with chronic pain, cramping, and discomfort.
And, when a person’s pain is effectively managed, it also tends to have a knock on effect in improving secondary concerns, or even comorbid conditions, such as sleeping disorders or poor mental health. But, natural alternatives have also shown to directly influence with these symptoms too, due to their sedative and mood uplifting qualities, taking what healthcare providers call ‘the multifaceted approach’.
At Releaf, our team of expert doctors evaluate the symptoms our patients struggle with the most and find out more about their impact on daily life, they identify the treatments patients have previously tried and where they’ve failed, and then create a bespoke, personalised care plan for each individual.
Monitoring their progress and treatment efficacy through regular follow-up appointments, our specialist doctors are here to help support you through the journey to find better health. To find out more about these options, or if you may be suitable for alternative approaches to ulcerative colitis at Releaf, assess your eligibility today.
