Multiple Sclerosis
Signs, Symptoms, Relief producing productsMultiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. There are three types of multiple sclerosis. The first, and most common, is the 'relapse-remitting' form of the disease, where an attack with full-blown symptoms is followed by a period of remission when the body returns to its former state or to a slightly worsened state. In some individuals, however, the disease can take a more chronic, progressive path with very few instances of remission. Rarer still is the case of the 'galloping' multiple sclerosis, where the disease moves quickly through the body and causes rapid debilitation.
Symptoms of MS vary greatly. They may include tingling sensations, numbness, slurred speech, dizziness, blurred or double vision, muscle weakness, poor coordination, tremor, unusual fatigue, muscle tightness or spasticity, problems with bladder, bowel or sexual function, and paralysis. Occasionally there may be mental changes such as forgetfulness or confusion, and rarely, people have seizures. These symptoms may occur in any combination, may come and go, and may vary from very mild to very severe.
The exact cause of what triggers the onset of an autoimmune disease has not yet been conclusively established. These diseases occur when the body attacks its own tissues, thus affecting the functioning of that system of the body.
Multiple sclerosis strikes the central nervous system. The nerves are surrounded by insulating matter called myelin -- a soft, white, fatty substance that forms a protective sheath for the nerves ... Multiple sclerosis is a disease where the myelin breaks down and ... can slow down or even block the flow of signals to and from the central nervous system to the rest of the body, impairing such functions as vision, strength, or coordination.
There are many natural remedies that offer an alternative. Not only can they soothe the over-active and misguided immune system, but they can also help to restore the body’s self-healing mechanisms and natural balance.
Herbal and homeopathic remedies are 100% natural and gentle, yet effective to use without the potential side effects of prescription medications. Herbs such as sarsaparilla and yarrow can be used to detoxify the bloodstream. These herbs are able to cleanse the blood and act as natural anti-inflammatories for muscles and joints. Boswellia, Devil’s Claw, Ginger and Turmeric are effective for treating the symptoms of autoimmune disorders. Other herbs such as yucca can reduce muscle pain and stiffness, and if used as a shampoo, may help those who suffer from skin disorders.
Tissue salts and homeopathic ingredients are also highly effective aids to restoring balance, health and vitality, as they do not over-stimulate the immune system. They are nutroceuticals (nutritional substances), which can help to relieve the symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases and improve functioning. Ingredients such as Natrium sulphate, Kalium phosphate and Natrium phosphate can optimize the nervous system and lift the mood.
