About lupus

Lupus can affect anyone, but it’s usually more common in women. Its cause is unknown and can develop into a serious illness. Its symptoms can be very varied and, at the moment, there is no cure for this disease. However,  there are medicines to relieve and prevent outbreaks.

For this reason, it  is essential to make changes in our diet and our lifestyle. It can mean incredible improvements. In addition, natural remedies are always at our fingertips to avoid the side effects of drugs.

Home remedies for lupus

1. Regime of intolerances

For starters, the first method that we should choose to fight lupus is by changing our diet. People who suffer from this disease   are very likely to suffer from an unknown food intolerance  (gluten, lactose, etc.).

In this way, habitual consumption of this harmful food worsens your health.

We can perform a reliable food intolerance test or go for a very basic diet to which  we will gradually add all the foods. This way we can find out what is making our symptoms worse.

• First, we are going to reduce our diet to fruits and vegetables for a week.
• Then, every other day, we will add a new food, from the mildest to the most likely to be harmful: rice, peas, eggs, mushrooms, seaweed, nuts, etc.
• When we no longer feel pain, we will take out the last food. Later we can incorporate it again to confirm or rule out intolerance.

2. Carrot, celery and linseed oil

These three medicinal foods are very beneficial for our health. In this case, they can be very useful in the  fight against lupus thanks to their anti-inflammatory and depurative properties. In addition, they are foods rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.

• In the morning, on an empty stomach, we will have a glass of carrot and celery juice. We will add a spoonful of flax seed oil (15 ml). Half an hour later, we can have our breakfast as usual.

We will take it for at least 15 days in a row and repeat its use depending on the results.
