About autoimmune conditions
In an autoimmune condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lupus, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis. They are usually long-term, with flares and quieter periods. Modern treatment controls the immune system, and it's important to continue it.
In Ayurveda, many of these conditions are linked to weak digestion and metabolism (Agni), poorly processed residue (Ama), and reduced resilience (Ojas). Care focuses on digestion first, then gentle cleansing, then rebuilding strength.
How we treat it
Every plan is personal. It depends on your condition, how active it is and the medicines you take. It usually includes:
- A light, warm diet and digestive herbs to improve Agni, in the first days
- Gentle cleansing (Virechana or Vasti), only if the doctor finds you suitable and your condition is stable
- Soothing therapies chosen for your symptoms: oil treatments, herbal compresses or Shirodhara
- Rasayana: rejuvenating medicines and diet to support strength and recovery
- Yoga, breathing and rest, and a home plan for diet, sleep and stress
We'll ask for your specialist's details, and with your permission we can share our treatment summary with them.

Questions
Can Ayurveda treat my autoimmune condition? Ayurveda can't cure autoimmune conditions. It offers supportive care that many patients find helps with energy, digestion, comfort and coping with flares, alongside their specialist's treatment.
Must I keep taking my steroids or immune medicines? Yes. Never stop or reduce them without your specialist's advice. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Bring a full list of your medicines.
Can I come during a flare? Tell us before you book. During a strong flare, the doctor may suggest a gentler plan, or waiting until it settles.
Is Panchakarma safe for me? It depends on your condition, how active it is and your medicines. Some patients have only gentle treatments, without strong cleansing. The doctor decides after your consultation.
What should I bring? Your diagnosis, recent blood tests and scans, your specialist's latest letter, and your list of medicines.
