Autoimmune disease is systemic inflammation, where the body attacks itself and this inflammation slowly turns chronic. In some conditions it turns into multiple autoimmune diseases because of continuous and consistent damage to tissues which eventually starts to deteriorate several body organs and their functions. The functional medicine approach focuses on detecting the root and the underlying causes, identifying disturbances through various comprehensive tests, testing for the intolerant foods, micronutrient testing, and others depending on individual condition. Functional Medicine treatment follows a holistic approach, the treatment is initiated by removing triggers of disease such as harmful microbes, allergens, or toxins. Functional medicine helps in supporting the body function with nutrients and a good diet. Functional Medicine practitioner also provides therapies to detoxify liver, heal gut, and advises other therapy depending on your health condition.
