Abstract

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by recurrent episodes of intestinal mucosal inflammation, with three major clinical manifestations: abdominal pain, diarrhea, and posterior urgency. The pathogenesis is still unclear, therefore, treatment is also based on anti-inflammatory and other symptomatic support. With the rapid development of Traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine plays an important role in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. This paper presents a review of Mu Xiang, a Chinese herbal medicine, in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Keywords
