The Holistic Approach of Ayurveda for Treating Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmunity as the name suggests is associated with immune system functioning. They are responsible for generating responses against the potentially harmful antigens which destructs the efficient system working. Autoimmune diseases emerge as a result of the wrong reaction of body defense mechanism against the self cells of the body. A person’s immune system is known to work in a sophisticated way to reduce the chances or help to keep us disease-free. It has the special ability to recognize foreign invaders and generate efficient responses against them. So its proper functioning is of utmost priority and to keep immune system associated diseases at bay.

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result when the defense mechanism puts hard efforts to fight with foreign attackers but is unable to generate responses against them. Instead, it perceives its cells as antigens and mistakenly generates harsh responses against them and thereby categorized as self-destruction. There are many reports which strongly suggest that in the last 2-4 decades there is a sudden increase and rise in cases of autoimmune diseases. The conclusion which Ayurveda suggests as the main cause are our unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle which has raised a major concern amongst the population due to increase in morbidity. It is seen that many infectious diseases are controlled over years but a steady increase in autoimmune diseases has raised concerns. Other than diet and lifestyle other possible reasons causing disease emergence are stress, lack of sleep, environmental pollutants, and sometimes as a result of genetics.
