* [[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.
* [[Licorice]] can be used for auto-immune conditions including lupus, scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and animal dander allergies.
* 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.
