AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES AND HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT
Autoimmune diseases are one of the most troublesome and hard to cure disease. These diseases occur when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy tissues by mistake. The environment where we live is packed with various harmful agents like bacteria, virus, allergy inducing particles (antigens), chemicals, dusts, pollutants etc. Inside our body there is a defense unit called immune system that consist of various immune cells. The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them.
Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells. In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body, like your joints or skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called auto antibodies that attack healthy cells.
Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), affect the whole body.
There are more than 80 different autoimmune diseases. The most common ones are:
- Addison’s disease
- Autoimmune vasculitis
- Celiac disease
- Graves’ disease
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Myasthenia gravis
- Psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis
- Pernicious anemia
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Sjögren’s syndrome
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Type 1 diabetes
Usually, the treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immuno suppressant-medication that decreases the immune response.
But Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that the homeopathic treatment focuses on the person and pathological conditions. This includes a detailed medical history of the patient, family and causative factors. Any underlying predisposition/susceptibility is considered. The disease is studied at the level of bacteria/virus and also factors like any mental/ physical stressors that could predispose the individual to this illness. Constitutional medicines work wonders in such cases. Along with homeopathic treatment dietary supplementation and physiotherapy also helps. Homeopathy can help you to control or cure the autoimmune disease. Homeopathy is a method of using medicines (or remedies) to help treat or cure illnesses by stimulating the body to heal itself.
