Our team at The Akasha Center works collaboratively to create individualized treatment plans, combining the best of modern medicine with holistic care to restore balance and support long-term wellness.

Conventional Medical Support

We start by addressing symptoms through conventional treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids. These therapies help reduce inflammation and manage acute symptoms while preventing further tissue damage.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition plays a key role in managing autoimmune diseases. We create personalized dietary plans designed to reduce inflammation, support gut health, and address nutrient deficiencies. Common approaches include eliminating inflammatory foods and incorporating nutrient-dense, immune-supporting options.

Gut Health Optimization

Since gut health is closely tied to immune function, we prioritize repairing the gut lining and restoring microbiome balance. Treatments may include probiotics, prebiotics, and gut-healing nutrients like L-glutamine and zinc.

Stress Reduction Techniques

Chronic stress can exacerbate autoimmune conditions by triggering inflammatory responses. We offer stress management tools such as meditation, mindfulness, biofeedback, and yoga to help reduce flare-ups and improve overall well-being.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can alleviate inflammation, improve circulation, and support immune system regulation, making it a valuable addition to autoimmune disease management.

Herbal and Natural Therapies

We incorporate natural remedies to reduce inflammation, regulate the immune system, and provide symptom relief. These may include adaptogenic herbs, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.

Functional Medicine Testing

Our advanced diagnostic tools help identify underlying triggers such as food sensitivities, toxin exposure, and hormonal imbalances, allowing for a more targeted treatment approach.
