Types of Autoimmune Diseases Treated at Jiva

At Jiva Ayurveda, we understand that autoimmune diseases can be confusing, overwhelming, and different for everyone. That’s why our Ayurvedic doctors carefully diagnose and treat a wide range of autoimmune conditions using time-tested herbal remedies, detox therapies, and personalised care plans. 

Below is a list of autoimmune problems we treat, so you know exactly how Ayurveda can help you.

1. Ayurvedic Treatment for HIV AIDS

While HIV/AIDS weakens your immune system, Ayurveda helps support your body's strength through natural immunity-boosting herbs and detox therapies. The focus is on improving digestion, increasing Ojas (vital energy), and managing fatigue, weight loss, and recurring infections.

2. Ayurvedic Treatment for Coeliac Disease

Coeliac disease is a digestive problem where gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, etc.) damages your small intestine. Ayurveda sees this as a result of poor digestion and toxin (Ama) build-up. With a gluten-free Ayurvedic diet, herbs like Guduchi, and digestive tonics, you can manage this condition naturally.

3. Ayurvedic Treatment for Vitiligo

Vitiligo causes white patches on the skin due to loss of pigmentation. In Ayurveda, it's called Shwitra and is treated by removing Ama from the blood and balancing Pitta dosha. Herbs like Bakuchi, Neem, and Manjistha are often used to support skin healing.

4. Ayurvedic Treatment for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia causes pain, tiredness, and brain fog. Ayurveda links it to aggravated Vata dosha and poor muscle metabolism. Treatments like Abhyanga (oil massage), Basti (medicated enema), and Rasayana herbs help reduce pain and restore energy.

5. Ayurvedic Treatment for Urticaria (Hives)

Urticaria causes red, itchy rashes due to allergic reactions. Ayurveda treats it by cooling down aggravated Pitta and cleansing the blood. Neem, Khadir, and Giloy are common herbs used, along with Virechana (detox therapy).

6. Ayurvedic Treatment for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

SLE affects multiple organs and causes joint pain, skin rashes, and fatigue. Ayurveda focuses on removing toxins from the blood, strengthening immunity, and reducing inflammation with herbs like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Turmeric.

7. Ayurvedic Treatment for Colloid Goitre

This is a type of thyroid swelling without hormone imbalance. Ayurveda treats colloid goitre by improving metabolism and clearing accumulated Kapha in the thyroid area. Kanchanar Guggulu and Triphala are often recommended.

8. Ayurvedic Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

MS is a nervous system disease where the immune system attacks nerve coverings. Ayurveda calls it Majja Dhatu disorder. Therapies like Basti, Nasya, and herbal oils are used to nourish nerves and reduce flare-ups.

9. Ayurvedic Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

Although not purely autoimmune, Parkinson's overlaps with autoimmune features. Ayurveda manages it as a Vata disorder. Herbal support like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and medicated ghee helps improve movement, speech, and reduce tremors.

10. Ayurvedic Treatment for Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis causes inflammation and lumps (granulomas) in organs, especially lungs. Ayurveda uses anti-inflammatory herbs like Guduchi, turmeric, and diet changes to remove toxins and improve organ health.

11. Ayurvedic Treatment for Sickle Cell Anaemia

This genetic condition affects blood cells. Ayurveda helps in reducing the severity of sickle cell anaemia symptoms through herbal blood tonics, Rasayana therapy, and immunity-boosting formulations like Amalaki Rasayana.

12. Thyroid Treatment in Ayurveda

Autoimmune thyroid problems like Hashimoto’s (hypothyroidism) and Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism) are rising. Ayurveda treats these by balancing hormones, reducing gland swelling, and improving digestion. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Kanchanar Guggulu, and Shankhpushpi are commonly used.

13. Ayurvedic Treatment for Ulcerative Colitis

This is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes blood in stools and abdominal pain. Ayurveda sees it as a Pitta and Vata disorder in the colon. Herbs like Kutaj, Bilva, and therapies like Vasti help in long-term relief of ulcerative colitis.

14. Ayurvedic Treatment for Eczema

Eczema causes red, itchy, dry skin. Ayurveda calls it Vicharchika and treats it by purifying the blood, balancing Kapha-Pitta, and applying cooling herbal oils. Neem, Manjistha, and Khadirarishta are commonly used.

15. Ayurvedic Treatment for Ankylosing Spondylitis

This spinal arthritis causes stiffness and back pain. Ayurveda focuses on balancing Vata and reducing inflammation in the spine. Herbal oils, Guggulu, and therapies like Kati Basti are used for pain relief and mobility in ankylosing spondylitis.

16. Ayurvedic Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common autoimmune joint diseases. Ayurveda treats it by removing Ama, reducing joint swelling, and balancing Vata. Panchakarma therapies and herbs like Rasna, Shallaki, and Dashmool are helpful.

17. Ayurvedic Treatment for Scleroderma

Scleroderma causes thick, hard skin and affects internal organs too. Ayurveda works to reduce skin tightness, balance Vata-Pitta, and detoxify the blood using herbs like Guduchi, Manjistha, and Ashwagandha.

18. Ayurvedic Treatment for Dermatomyositis

This condition causes skin rashes and muscle weakness. Ayurveda improves muscle strength and reduces inflammation with Rasayana herbs, oil massages, and Panchakarma detox treatments for dermatomyositis.

19. Ayurvedic Treatment for Graves’ Disease

This is an overactive thyroid condition (hyperthyroidism). Ayurveda focuses on reducing Pitta, calming the mind, and controlling hormonal imbalance with herbs like Brahmi, Kachnar Guggulu, and Jatamansi.

20. Ayurvedic Treatment for Eosinophilia

Eosinophilia is a high count of a specific white blood cell, usually from allergy or infection. Ayurveda reduces allergic tendencies and strengthens immunity using herbs like Haridra, Tulsi, and Sitopaladi Churna.

21. Ayurvedic Treatment for Mouth Ulcers

Frequent mouth ulcers can be linked to autoimmune flare-ups, especially in lupus or Behcet’s disease. Ayurveda cools down excess Pitta, improves digestion, and strengthens oral tissues with Yashtimadhu, Amla, and Triphala gargles.

What Ayurveda Says About Autoimmune Diseases

Ayurveda believes that autoimmune diseases begin when your body's natural balance is disturbed. Instead of fighting infections, your immune system starts attacking your own healthy cells. Here's how this happens, according to Ayurveda:

• It usually starts with poor digestion or weak Agni (digestive fire). When digestion is weak, your body cannot fully break down food, which leads to the formation of Ama, i..e, a sticky, toxic substance.
  
  
• This Ama spreads through your body, clogging the tiny channels called Srotas that carry nutrients and energy. These blockages confuse your immune system, making it behave abnormally.
  
  
• Along with this, there is often a dosha imbalance. Vata, Pitta, or Kapha may get aggravated, depending on your body type and lifestyle. This further adds to the confusion inside your body and triggers symptoms like inflammation, pain, or skin issues.
  
  
• The damage also affects different Dhatus (tissues) like skin, blood, joints, or nerves, depending on where the toxins collect and which doshas are involved.

At Jiva Ayurveda, we don’t just try to control your symptoms with temporary relief. We follow a root-cause treatment approach. Our doctors first identify what's really disturbing your body’s balance, whether it’s weak digestion, toxin build-up, or mental stress.

Then we create a personalised Ayurvedic plan that includes herbal medicines, Panchakarma detox, a healing diet, and lifestyle changes. The goal is to remove Ama, restore balance in your Doshas, clear blocked channels, and strengthen your body from within, so your immune system starts working the way it’s supposed to.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases

Ayurveda heals your body from the inside out, which is a natural and long-lasting way to deal with autoimmune diseases. Ayurvedic treatment can help you in the following ways:

1. Addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms

Ayurveda doesn't just treat pain or rashes for a short time; it looks at the real cause, like poor digestion, toxin buildup (Ama), and dosha imbalance. Fixing these things will give you long-term relief and fewer flare-ups in the future.

2. Safe and gentle for long-term use

Ayurvedic medicines are made from plants and don't have any harsh chemicals in them. They are safe to use for a long time and help your body heal without the side effects that many modern drugs have.

3. Makes your immune system and metabolism work better

Your immune system gets stronger when your digestion gets better and toxins are flushed out. This helps your body fight off infections better and cuts down on immune attacks that aren't needed. Your metabolism also gets back to normal, which helps you control your weight and energy levels.

4. Improves your overall quality of life

You feel lighter, more energetic, and mentally calmer. With fewer symptoms and better health, you can enjoy your daily life without constant worry about pain, tiredness, or restrictions.

5. Personalised treatment just for you

No two people are the same. At Jiva, our expert doctors study your body type (Prakriti), disease history, and lifestyle before designing a customised treatment plan. This ensures faster and more effective results made just for you.

Ayurvedic Treatment and Therapies Used

Ayurveda offers a number of natural herbs and therapies to help manage autoimmune diseases safely and effectively. Every treatment plan at Jiva Ayurveda is customised according to your body type (Prakriti), the stage of your illness, and the underlying cause that was determined during your consultation.

Frequently Used Herbs for Autoimmune Disorders

• Guduchi (Giloy): A potent immune-boosting agent that lowers inflammation and eliminates toxins (Ama).
• Ashwagandha: Supports your nervous system, balances immunity, and helps your body cope with stress.

• Boswellia (Shallaki): Particularly helpful for pain in the muscles and joints, which is common in diseases like arthritis.

• Amla (Indian Gooseberry): High in Vitamin C, it strengthens your immunity and improves digestion.

These herbs are usually given as powders, tablets, decoctions, or in the form of Ayurvedic jams like Chyawanprash or combinations like Triphala.

Panchakarma and External Therapies

Depending on your condition, Ayurvedic doctors may recommend one or more of these detox therapies:

• Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Helps clear toxins from the liver and intestines, especially useful in skin issues and inflammatory conditions.

• Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Helps detoxify the head region, often used in conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
  
  
• Raktamokshana (Bloodletting): Used in certain cases to purify the blood, especially in skin-related autoimmune problems.
  
  

Ayurvedic treatment is not the same for everyone. At Jiva Ayurveda, your treatment is customised to your body type, how long you've had the disease, and what your root-cause diagnosis shows. This personalised approach helps heal your body naturally and deeply, without suppressing just the symptoms.

Your Ayurvedic expert will also give you a simple, personalised diet and daily routine to follow along with your medicines. These help your body stay strong and stress-free, as well as help your digestion and get rid of toxins (Ama).

Therapies that help you relax and support your mental health

Ayurveda says that the mind and body are very connected. That's why we also recommend yoga, meditation, and other ways to relax your mind and keep your emotions in check. This is especially helpful for people with autoimmune diseases that are linked to anxiety or trauma.
