If you have arthritis, thyroid, lupus, psoriasis, or any other autoimmune disease, chances are that you've been on anti-histamines, painkillers, steroids, or other kinds of medications for a long.

But have they worked? Do you feel that you move on from one medicine to another just to relieve your symptoms but no real cure is happening? If yes, read on to know the ‘real’ cause behind autoimmune diseases and how to cure them.

What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases are often described as conditions in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, tissues, and organs. 

But, Can Your Body Really Attack Itself?

Nature has designed your body to self-preserve, not self-destruct. 

Autoimmune conditions are not your body’s vengeance against itself but an expression of years of toxin accumulation in your body due to wrong lifestyles.

What’s The Cause of Autoimmune Diseases?
A Nature Cure Approach

Toxaemia - According to the science of nature cure, all diseases have a common root cause, i.e., toxemia. It is a condition in which the internal environment of your body - the blood and lymph carry different toxins and circulate them to different parts of the body.

Where do these toxins come from? 
Our body accumulates these toxins from our food, environment (air, water, etc), what we apply to our bodies (cosmetics and other products), and even our thoughts and emotions. Certain thoughts and emotions create toxins within our bodies.

How do different autoimmune diseases develop?

What we refer to as a diseased condition (including autoimmune) commonly, is an effort by your body to eliminate these toxins and bring back the optimal state of health. All acute diseases such as fever, cough, cold, digestive issues, skin eruptions, or inflammation are initial signs that your body is in a state of cleanup! - This is what shows as symptoms of autoimmune diseases

When we ignore or suppress these initial symptoms by ingesting various medications, (which are another cocktail of chemicals adding to the body’s toxic load!) these acute diseases develop into chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart issues, or rheumatoid arthritis.

The toxins circulating in your body affect those body parts first that are comparatively weaker - it could be your joints, gut, or thyroid - that’s why you see different manifestations of autoimmune conditions. 

Types of Autoimmune Diseases

There are more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, each affecting different parts of the body. Some of the most common autoimmune diseases include:

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - This chronic inflammatory disorder primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It can also affect other organs, such as the heart and lungs.

2. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) - Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs. It can cause a range of symptoms, such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and fever.

3. Type 1 Diabetes - Also known as juvenile diabetes, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in high blood sugar levels and requires lifelong insulin therapy.

4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and vision problems.

5. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - This autoimmune disease affects the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and damage. It can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression.

6. Celiac Disease - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It causes damage to the small intestine, leading to digestive symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating.

7. Psoriasis - Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. It can also affect the nails and joints, causing symptoms like joint pain and stiffness.

Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases

The symptoms of autoimmune diseases can vary widely depending on the specific disease and the organs or tissues affected. However, some common symptoms include -

• Fatigue
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Muscle weakness
• Skin rashes
• Digestive problems
• Fever
• Hair loss
• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
• Swelling and inflammation
• Diagnosis and Treatment

Pay attention to the initial signs. As explained above, if you are vigilant enough and take early interventions you can halt the progression of autoimmune diseases from the acute to the chronic stage, where they manifest in a much more aggressive way.

What Can You Do To Heal?
Typically, an allopathic doctor will prescribe you steroids or immunosuppressants and gradually other medications for autoimmune conditions.

However, instead of addressing the symptoms such - as joint pain or thyroid imbalance, you can address the root cause of these diseases - i.e. toxaemia.

By aligning your lifestyle with nature, correcting your diet, and adopting 5 natural therapies (based on 5 elements), you can get rid of all toxins from your body and start ‘healing autoimmune diseases’ through your body’s innate healing capabilities.

A naturopath or a medical doctor who also aligns with the principles of natural healing can help you get started on your autoimmune healing journey.

What Is The Naturopathic Approach To Heal Autoimmune Diseases?

Naturopathy practitioners take a holistic approach to treating autoimmune diseases, focusing on addressing the root causes of the disease rather than just managing symptoms. This involves dietary and lifestyle changes, detoxification, stress reduction techniques, and natural therapies.

They also emphasize the importance of supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms, such as the immune system and the body's ability to detoxify itself. This involves using natural therapies to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion and elimination, and reduce inflammation.

In addition to addressing the physical aspects of autoimmune diseases, they also recognize the importance of addressing the emotional and mental aspects of the disease. This may involve techniques such as counseling, meditation, and mindfulness practices to help patients cope with the stress and emotional challenges that can accompany autoimmune diseases.

Overall, the goal of naturopathic treatment for autoimmune diseases is to support the body's natural healing abilities and restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit. 

By addressing the underlying causes of the disease and supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms, natural healing aims to help patients achieve long-term relief from symptoms and improve their overall health and well-being.
