Natural Solutions for Lupus (SLE)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects various organ systems in the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and nervous system.

In an individual with a healthy immune system, their body will usually produce antibodies that fight off antigens such as viruses and bacteria. However, in people with lupus, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own healthy tissues, leading to inflammation, tissue damage, and pain via the production of auto-antibodies – antibodies that target the body’s own tissue.

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease specifically targeting connective tissue – a type of tissue found throughout the body in every organ.

It is estimated that 1 in 2000 people in the United States have SLE, and it is more common in women than in men.
