Autoimmune Disorders in Kids Treatment
The proper functioning of the immune system is vital to our health and wellbeing. It is comprised of cells and chemicals that attack viruses, bacteria and other infection-causing bodies, and can determine everything from how frequently we succumb to colds and flu during winter through to how our digestive system chooses to ‘behave’.
Unfortunately, it is possible for the immune system to turn against us and start to attack the body’s own cells rather than those of an infection or virus. This is referred to as an ‘autoimmune reaction’. These incidents are typically categorised as ‘organ-specific’ or ‘non-organ specific’, and can vary in severity. They can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, muscles, connective tissue, red blood cells, and blood vessels.
That’s where Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic comes in. Our practitioners offer natural treatments for autoimmune disorders in kids and adults who might be experiencing pain or other symptoms associated with a dysfunctional immune system.
What Can Cause Your Immune System to Break Down?
There are numerous risk factors that can cause your immune system to stop functioning properly. Genetics is one major factor; if immune system problems run in your family, your likelihood of experiencing similar problems are increased. Environmental factors such as drugs, bacteria and environmental irritants can also contribute.
Gender is a major point of consideration, with women accounting for about three quarters of people with dysfunctional immune systems. Hormonal changes in women, particularly during the child-bearing years and especially during pregnancy, childbirth and later in menopause, can instigate autoimmune reactions. So too can infection, with some infections resulting in a more severe reaction than others.
