Healing Autoimmune Disorders Naturally: The Functional Medicine Approach
Autoimmune disease is systemic inflammation, where the body attacks itself and this inflammation slowly turns chronic. In some conditions it turns into multiple autoimmune diseases because of continuous and consistent damage to tissues which eventually starts to deteriorate several body organs and their functions.
The functional medicine approach focuses on detecting the root and the underlying causes, identifying disturbances through various comprehensive tests, testing for the intolerant foods, micronutrient testing, and others depending on individual condition.
In autoimmune disease treatment with functional medicine, the healing process begins by removing triggers like harmful microbes, toxins, allergens, or environmental stressors that may be fueling the inflammation. Once these are addressed, the focus shifts to restoring balance in the body through targeted nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and therapeutic interventions.
