Autoimmune disorders are caused by a dysfunction of the body’s immune system that does not recognize the body and attacks the body’s organs and systems assuming they are foreign. This results in specific symptoms that form over 160 different autoimmune disease entities. Modern conservative treatment takes the form of immunosuppression with steroids and other immunosuppressive drugs. This results in a temporary improvement in symptoms; however, most patients with severe symptoms do not benefit in the long term and may in fact have serious side effects of treatment.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment can be used systematically to comprehensively treat all autoimmune disorders. Almost all affected individuals exhibit some genetic predisposition to the disease, along with exposure to environmental triggers. These include allergies, chronic infections, traumatic inflammation, degeneration, nutritional deficiencies, and toxic buildup in the body. While it can be difficult to treat genetic dysfunction these days, the environmental effects on the body can definitely be treated and minimized.
Ayurvedic treatment can be given for a few months to systematically detoxify the body; this is followed with rejuvenation therapy over the next few months. When treated in this way, patients with autoimmune disorders can gradually receive drugs to treat widespread inflammation and also to gradually modulate compromised immunity. The body begins to accept immunostimulating herbal medicines without showing any aggravation of symptoms.
Treatment is also given to treat specific symptoms as they occur. Common symptoms of autoimmune disorders include muscle and joint pain, general muscle weakness, rashes, low-grade fever, weight loss, poor concentration, numbness and tingling, dry eyes, hair loss, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat. Inflammation can affect the heart, brain, lungs, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, joints, kidneys, and other organs, producing corresponding symptoms. Aggressive treatment is necessary when vital organs are affected.
Most doctors tend to impose strict dietary restrictions when treating autoimmune disorders. These instructions are very difficult for most affected people to follow; furthermore, there is only initial and partial improvement followed by relapse of symptoms in most patients even after strict adherence. Therefore, it is considered logical to give simple dietary instructions that can be easily followed by the majority of affected people. Avoid fast food, fried food, and packaged foods; minimization of sugar, salt, non-vegetarian foods and dairy; and the consumption of large amounts of fresh vegetables and fruits is recommended (subject to tolerance). It also helps to avoid or minimize stress, get adequate and good quality sleep, exercise in moderation, adopt relaxation techniques, drink clean water, breathe fresh air, get a good amount of sun exposure, as well as adopt an attitude positive and healthy. to the life.
The key to successful treatment of autoimmune disorders is to treat specific and generalized inflammation, which is the hallmark of autoimmune disease. This can result in remission of common autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, alopecia areata, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), thyroiditis, Addison’s disease, pernicious anemia, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). ), Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS), scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease (MSD).
Most affected individuals report significant improvement with approximately four to six months of Ayurvedic herbal treatment and go into complete remission after approximately eight to ten months of therapy. The medications can then be gradually tapered off and then stopped altogether. Patients already taking steroids and other immunosuppressive drugs may need more time to achieve remission of symptoms, as well as to gradually wean off all modern drugs. Early institution of Ayurvedic herbal treatment is important to prevent permanent damage to major organs and achieve complete remission of autoimmune disease.
