Ayurvedic Tips for Effective Recovery from Autoimmune Diseases

Dr. Mukesh Sharda, Founder, Dr. Sharda Ayurveda

Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is the basis for healthy and disease-free living. Immunity is a body response that is a boon for humans that provides the ability to survive against natural odds over a period. But on the contrary, autoimmune responses are the challenge to deal with for living a sustainable life. The autoimmune diseases demand urgent medical attention as, if not treated can eventually create inflammations and cascade into various diseases.


  
Autoimmunity is a term associated with the immune system, which plays an important role in generating responses against foreign antigens. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's defence mechanism recognizes healthy body cells as a foreign antigen and generates an adaptive immune response against these self-antigens. When having an autoimmune disorder, the body system losses the ability to recognize/distinguish between healthy tissue and potential destructive antigens. The consequences of autoimmune diseases include the destruction of healthy body tissues and abnormal growth of the organs. Some of the common autoimmune diseases are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease.



  
Dr. Mukesh Sharda, Founder, Dr. Sharda Ayurveda, has been practising for more than 15 years and successfully treated more than 50k patients worldwide for all chronic diseases.


 

The symptoms of autoimmune diseases are non-specific at the onset of the disease. But progressively, if timely treatment is not given can lead to unmanageable complications. Allopathic medications work on the symptomatic treatment, which merely suppresses disease causes. But on the other hand, Ayurvedic treatment is done by first discovering the root cause of autoimmune disease, and treatment then progresses accordingly. Ayurveda follows a natural, holistic and systematic approach for treatment. Through Ayurveda, one can naturally reverse the disease symptoms and restore the balanced immune system. Some of the best Ayurvedic tips which can provide the best and most effective results are: 

 

AVOID FERMENTED FOOD - Ayurveda believes that by limiting fermented food in the diet, one can avoid producing and accumulating toxins in the body. Thus, decreasing the chances of depletion of health. Fermented food blocks various body channels, thus restricting the performance of the various activities of the body organs. Some of the food that has to be limited are yoghurt, yeast, and bread.

 

PRACTICE MEDITATION

It is believed that practising meditation daily helps recover from neurological conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression, which are known for causing the development of autoimmune diseases. If not controlled, it can worsen your symptoms. 

 

BOOST METABOLISM

Along with detoxifying the body, it is essential to keep up the metabolism that gets affected if suffering from an autoimmune disorder. Some of the best Ayurvedic herbs are neem, Guggulu, Giloy, and Brahmi. 


LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS

The sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activities can significantly affect the immune system, thus reducing its ability to fight against foreign antigens. It affects both metabolism and the digestive system. The best exercises to improve the digestive system are deep breathing, pelvic floor exercise, and sit-ups. 


RASAYANA TREATMENT

A part of Panchakarma therapy that helps nourish all the body tissues to work optimally and effectively. This therapy focuses on purifying the body and additionally provides the shield against the reoccurrence of the disease.
