Try these lupus remedies according to the symptoms that you may be exhibiting.
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the immune system attacking cells and tissues by mistake. It is more common amongst young women. It is a baffling condition as symptoms are complicated and can change for no apparent reasons. Sufferers can become depressed because they do not seem to have any control over it.
Lupus is quite extensively documented in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Practitioners have observed some common categories of symptoms in lupus patients and these categories are attributed to different types of imbalances in the body. Recommendations for dietary remedies are then matched with these symptoms and imbalances.
Try some of the lupus remedies below according to the symptoms that you may be exhibiting. Listen to your body carefully. Stop if you do not feel well.
Although many people might be skeptical about these lupus remedies, my hope is that lupus patients will eat well, nourish their bodies and perhaps rein in their immune systems.

The recipes featured here are for reference only. I did not create them. I found them in some Chinese dietary therapy sources and translated them and fill in some additional cooking instructions.

I believe doctors would agree that lupus patients should consume food that are high in animal protein, packed with multi-vitamins (especially vitamin C) and calcium and low in fat, salt and sugar.
