INTEGRATIVE AUTOIMMUNE APPROACHES

Autoimmune disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells, tissues and organs. This means the body is failing to recognise some parts of itself, forming confused messages against its own tissue. Once a person is diagnosed with an autoimmune disease they are also at an increased risk of developing additional autoimmune conditions. Autoimmune conditions are becoming alarmingly common in Australia and most western countries. Furthermore, increasingly, we are seeing autoimmune-like symptoms without a definitive diagnosis of a particular condition.​

​

How can Naturopathy help?

Autoimmunity is a multifactorial condition. Research has convincingly confirmed that pathogens, stress, chronic inflammation of the gut, genetics, allergies and food intolerances can all play a role in the development of autoimmune disease.

​

At Darling Health we regularly treat autoimmune conditions including;

​

• Coeliac Disease

• Recurrent Miscarriage

• Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

• Crohn’s Disease

• Graves disease

• Diabetes

• Multiple Sclerosis

• SLE or Lupus

• Scleroderma Psoriasis

• Psoriatic Arthritis

• Sjogren’s Disease

• Vitiligo​

​

Medically, autoimmune diseases are treated with powerful immunosuppressant drugs that can have profound and long-lasting side effects.

​

At Darling Health, we take an integrated approach to treating your condition by exploring all contributing factors and conducting thorough functional medical screening, with the aim to reduce your inflammatory symptoms whilst quietening the aberrant immune response.

​

Our experienced Naturopaths will ensure potential causative factors are addressed. Treatment recommendations will be safely prescribed to augment any other therapies or medications. We aim for full transparency and will work respectfully alongside specialists or any other practitioners who play a role in your healthcare.
