AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

Auto-immune disorders happen when your immune system attacks part of your body. The protocol for autoimmune disorders is similar to the protocol for allergies. Follow tips to calm your immune system.

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

Psychology of Autoimmune Disorders

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.
