Integrative Autoimmune Specialists
Holistic care to restore balance for a healthier immune system
Understanding autoimmune diseases and how we can help
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs. This confusion causes the immune system to target its tissues, leading to various health challenges. Once diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, you may be at a higher risk of developing additional autoimmune disorders. Unfortunately, autoimmune diseases are becoming more common in Australia and other Western countries. Many people are also experiencing autoimmune-like symptoms without a precise diagnosis, adding to the complexity of managing their health.
Naturopathic Solutions
Our naturopaths are autoimmune specialists, taking a holistic approach to immune conditions. We take an integrated approach, addressing the root causes, such as inflammation, stress, and immune system imbalances, and conducting thorough functional medical screening to reduce your inflammatory symptoms whilst quieting the abnormal immune response.
Nutritional Support
Our nutritionists create personalised dietary plans that support your immune function and reduce inflammation. We will introduce you to foods and recipes that best support your immune health, ensuring you feel most energised. By identifying and addressing certain triggering foods, intolerances, allergies and lifestyle behaviours, we help to calm autoimmune responses and improve overall health.
PHYSCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT
Autoimmune conditions can often be triggered or worsened by chronic stress. Our psychologists work with you to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing, helping to reduce the impact on your immune system and support long-term healing.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture supports autoimmune conditions by reducing inflammation, calming the nervous system, and improving energy flow. It helps regulate immune function and alleviate symptoms associated with chronic autoimmune disorders.
How naturopathy can support autoimmune health
Autoimmune conditions are complex and multifactorial, often triggered by pathogens, stress, chronic gut inflammation, genetics, allergies, and food intolerances. As autoimmune specialists, the team at Darling Health regularly treats a wide range of autoimmune conditions, including:
- Coeliac Disease
