Treating autoimmune disease holistically means getting to the root of what is causing systemic inflammation, healing the damage caused by inflammation, and removing the causes or imbalances that resulted in the inflammation. In many cases, this can heal autoimmune diseases. In others, holistically treating autoimmune disease can significantly reduce symptoms by better managing immune responses.
