Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi, this is Heather Kamins for Expert Village. Lupus is a complicated disease. There are
still a lot of unanswered questions about it and really no two people have it exactly
the same way, no two cases are exactly the same. It makes since that there are different
types of medicine that could help different people. Some alternative treatments include
acupuncture and herbs, different nutritional approaches, meditation. There are a lot of
different things you can try. The most important thing if you are going to try one of these
therapies is to make sure you have a practitioner who is licensed and that you references so
that you know that they are reputable. It's also important to coordinate with your doctor
about any other types of therapies you are doing especially if it involves taking herbs
or other supplements or changing you diet. A lot more doctors are becoming receptive
to alternative treatments and you just want to make sure that everyone is aware of what
everyone else is doing.
