Is it good or not for people with autoimmune disease to consume herbal medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be good if...: There are literally thousands of herbs with medicinal benefits. Some of these may be very beneficial for people with autoimmune disease and some may aggravate their condition. People with autoimmune disease should not take herbs without professional guidance, but with the help of an herbalist, naturopath or holistic md, medicinal herbs individualized for you can be extremely beneficial.
