Autoimmune diseases result from an individual’s immune system attacking the body’s own tissues. There are at least 80 known autoimmune diseases which include multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Lifestyle medicine strategies, particularly nutritional interventions, have been shown to be beneficial in improving autoimmune disease symptoms. These strategies aim to exclude inflammatory triggers in the body and ultimately alleviate abnormal immune responses.

Studies have shown that therapeutic natural medicines may have anti-inflammatory effects and may help alleviate symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis and arthritis. If you have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or arthritis, natural therapies may be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

If you suffer from an autoimmune disease, book a lifestyle medicine consultation to discover how alternative natural therapies can support your symptom management.
