Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Symptoms

Home remedies

• Alfalfa shows promise in healing lupus and other auto-immune diseases.
• Immune support : Nothing beats probiotics to help support proper immune function. Look for multi-strain products that contain a wide variety of strains including both the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species. Of special importance is Lactobacillus rhamnosus because it helps to strengthen gut-barrier function and has been shown to have a beneficial impact on autoimmune conditions.
• Have a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Coconut oil has been shown to help support healthy skin, and skin is an area commonly affected by lupus.
• The calcium from dark green leafy vegetables can help, as well as nutrient-rich homemade broths (beef or chicken).
• Omega-3 fatty acids are important, as they are Nature’s anti-inflammatory and lupus is a very inflammatory condition. Eating wild Alaskan salmon and supplementing with a top-quality fish oil formula can ensure your body has enough of these crucial nutrients.
• AVOID :
  • Refined carbs, sugars, and soda
  • Processed foods and fast food
  • Unhealthy fats (hydrogenated oils, margarine, processed vegetable oils)
  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol
