Understanding Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune disorders occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues and organs.

Autoimmune Disorders Through the Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda views health as a state of balance between the body, mind, and environment. While autoimmune diseases are not described as a single disease category in classical Ayurvedic texts, their underlying mechanisms can be understood through several fundamental principles.

Ama Formation
Ama refers to improperly digested metabolic waste that accumulates within the body. Ayurveda considers Ama to be a significant contributor to chronic inflammatory conditions. The accumulation of Ama may obstruct bodily channels and disturb normal physiological functions.
Dosha Imbalance
Autoimmune conditions often involve imbalances in one or more Doshas:
