I
have a friend that has Lupus and I know she struggles often. She is
on medication but even with medication just like anything else there
are other things you can do on top of your medication to try and help
your symptoms. I also wanted to post about this because May is Lupus
Awareness Month!
Below
are 8 home remedies you can try.
Turmeric
Ginger
Apple
Cider Vinegar
Coconut
Oil (put a teaspoon in your coffee or hot tea)
Epsom
Salt
Tulsi
or Holy Basil (you can chew the leaves up or make a tea out of it)
Flax-seeds
Green
Tea
The
first 3 things I take myself for my joints and muscles. I am not big
on the taste of them so I buy them in capsule form.
What
is Lupus?
Is
an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the
healthy tissues instead of the foreign invaders in the body. This
results in persistent inflammation affecting the joints, lungs,
kidneys, endocrine glands and the brain. Its symptoms are quite
similar to other diseases such as Lyme disease, thyroid disorders and
fibromyalgia, which is why it usually goes undiagnosed. Women are
more prone to lupus than men. In India, 8-9 people in a group of one
lakh are affected with lupus. And this condition is worse when it
affects kids, men and older adults. While some lupus patients may
lead a normal life, some patients may even succumb to the disease.
Experts are not very sure of the causes of this condition but they
believe that it is a combination of genetics and environmental
factors. Chronic infections, stress and reaction of some medications
are also believed to be the cause of lupus.
