Auto-immune disorders happen when your immune system attacks part of your body. It is vital that you keep your immune system as calm as possible when you have an auto-immune disorder. You can keep your immune system calm by

• Cleansing toxins out of your body with mild laxatives, easy to digest food, and mild exercise.
• Eating hypoallergenic foods like cilantro, guduci
• Eating foods that reduce Pitta dosha
• Support your liver either by 1) cleansing it with bitters, sours and chologogues, or 2) nourishing it with sweet and oily foods. Applesauce with coconut oil is one of the best way to simultaneously cleanse and nourish your liver.
• Eliminating any fungal / bacterial infections as lingering infections continue to stimulate an immune response.
• Minimizing stress & criticism

Some western medical immune specialists recommend temporarily shutting down the immune system with anti-histamines. Ayurveda considers auto-immune disorders to be a sign of excess Pitta. It is also called tejas burning ojas.

On a spiritual level, auto-immune disorders are similar to self-criticism. A person should avoid anger and love the world as it is, even despite problems may exist.

Disclaimer: 'Autoimmune Disorders' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
