Autoimmune Disease

OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH

What Is An Autoimmune Disease?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. Normally, the immune system defends against harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses, but in autoimmune diseases, it fails to differentiate between foreign invaders and the body’s own cells. This leads to inflammation, damage, and dysfunction in various organs and systems.

Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, muscles, digestive tract,kidneys and nervous system. There are over 80 known autoimmune diseases, and they can range from mild to life-threatening.

  • Lupus (SLE): Affects multiple organs, including skin, kidneys, and brain.
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Damages the protective covering of nerves, impairing the nervous system.
  • Psoriasis: Causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to scaly, inflamed patches.
  • Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: Involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
  • Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Attacks the thyroid, causing hypothyroidism.
  • Graves' Disease: Causes the thyroid to overproduce hormones, leading to hyperthyroidism.
  • Celiac Disease: Triggers an immune response in the small intestine when gluten is consumed.
  • Scleroderma: Involves thickening and hardening of the skin and connective tissues.
