Pancreatitis – Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment
What is Pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, a vital organ located behind the stomach. The pancreas helps in digestion by producing digestive enzymes and also regulates blood sugar by releasing insulin.
Pancreatitis can occur in two forms:
- Acute Pancreatitis – develops suddenly and may last for a few days
- Chronic Pancreatitis – develops gradually over years and can cause permanent damage
Severe pancreatitis can lead to serious complications if not treated on time. The most common causes include heavy alcohol consumption and gallstones.

Diagnosis of Pancreatitis
Doctors use different tests to confirm pancreatitis:
