The holistic approach to treating sarcoidosis is based on rebalancing the chemical and energetic disturbances in your body on several different levels.
All approaches are based on natural substances and look at your body as a whole rather than parts of healthy or diseased organs.
Use of melatonin in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in our body and its main objective is to regulate sleep. A study on its use that was conducted in Italy reported a significant improvement in almost all patients after the 2 years of the study.
What is the role of melatonin in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis?
As far as research goes, melatonin helps the body of a sarcoid patient on several levels:
- Eliminate free radicals
- Inhibits the production of cytokines and therefore reduces inflammation
- regulates hormone production by regulating the sleep mechanism
Controversy over the safety of melatonin in autoimmune diseases
This controversy stems from the fact that melatonin actually, by its nature, stimulates the immune system. A lot of research is being done to determine if it is completely safe to use melatonin in autoimmune diseases.
Nutritional guidelines in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis and vitamin D
The most important nutrition guideline that finds its way into all holistic sarcoidosis treatment protocols is the avoidance of vitamin D, as it is common for sarcoidosis patients to develop hypersensitivity to this vitamin. When designing a holistic approach to treating sarcoidosis, it is important to know if you are hypersensitive to vitamin D.
What are the symptoms of hypersensitivity to vitamin D?
If you are hypersensitive to vitamin D, you may experience some or all of these symptoms: nausea, thirst, deterioration in general health, kidney failure, and kidney stones.
Special cleansing diets in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Cleanse diets are designed as part of the holistic approach to sarcoidosis treatment. These include various forms of detoxification and purification of the body. In addition, herbal remedies are included. The most common herbs used in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis are:
- Echinacea
- aloe vera
- Ginseng
Possible side effects are being debated, as these herbs also have an immune-boosting effect.
Advances in Sarcoidosis Research
The problem with sarcoidosis is the lack of knowledge in modern medicine about what causes the disease. But lately, some exciting news has been reported about the discoveries of the underlying chemical imbalance and its causes. Based on this, a new treatment protocol is created with an astonishing success rate.
