Hello Kalpana,
SLE (Lupus) causes body pain, swelling, mouth ulcers, and headaches due to immune system imbalance. Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation and balancing Pitta and Vata. Herbs like Guduchi, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric help control inflammation. Amla and Licorice soothe mouth ulcers. Triphala supports detoxification. Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods and eat a cooling, anti-inflammatory diet. Regular Ayurvedic treatment and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms. However, autoimmune diseases like SLE require proper analysis and examination before treatment. Consult an Ayurvedic doctor for an accurate diagnosis and personalized plan.

Namaste,
I understand your concern regarding your wife’s SLE (Lupus), which is an autoimmune condition. Ayurveda classifies this under Aamvata or Rakta Dushti, where excess toxins (Ama) and an aggravated Pitta-Vata dosha trigger inflammation. While she is currently on steroids (Prednisolone) and immunosuppressants, Ayurveda can support symptom relief, reduce inflammation, and improve immunity naturally.
1.Tab.Giloy ghan vati – 1 Tab twice daily with warm water (Enhances immunity & reduces inflammation).
2.Punarnava Tablet – 1 tab twice daily with warm water (Reduces swelling & water retention).
3. Ashwagandha Churna – 1/2 teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk (Reduces stress & body pain).
For Mouth Ulcers:
Triphala Powder Gargle – Mix 1 teaspoon in warm water and rinse twice daily.
Licorice (Mulethi) Powder Paste – Apply on ulcers for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.
Avoid:
Processed foods, sugar, dairy, spicy & fermented foods (which trigger inflammation).
Cold drinks & foods (which aggravate Vata).
Excessive stress & overexertion.
Include:
Fresh home-cooked food (moong dal, ghee, soups, vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin).
Turmeric + Black Pepper in warm water or milk (for anti-inflammatory benefits).
Coconut water & Aloe Vera Juice (5 mL twice daily)
Include Ginger & Tulsi Tea
Adequate Rest – Avoid extreme temperatures & maintain an stress-free environment.
Continue Ayurveda alongside allopathic medicines to avoid withdrawal effects of steroids.
• Regularly monitor kidney function & inflammation markers (CRP, ESR) with the treating doctor.
• If symptoms worsen, consult a specialist

I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s condition.ould you share what foods she typically consumes daily, particularly if there are any that seem to worsen the symptoms like inflammation or pain? How is her sleep, and does she experience a lot of stress? Additionally, understanding her recent lab results, such as kidney function, autoimmune markers, and any other blood tests related to lupus, would help guide the treatment approach.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) is considered an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas, with excess heat (Pitta) and dryness or depletion (Vata) causing inflammation, pain, and swelling. Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Turmeric (Curcumin) can help reduce inflammation and support immune function. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is an excellent herb to balance the immune system and reduce autoimmune flare-ups. For mouth ulcers, Aloe Vera gel can be soothing, and a paste of Turmeric and Honey may help speed healing. Ghee (clarified butter) can be beneficial to reduce dryness and improve joint health.

Dealing with SLE lupus can be a bit tricky, especially when there's pain, swelling, ulcers, and all the symptoms you're describing. Integrating some Ayurvedic practices into her routine might help complement the current treatment she's on. Of course, keep working hand in hand with her current healthcare team because they've got all the specifics. But here's some general tips from the Ayurveda perspective:
For inflammation and pain, think about her diet first—embracing anti-inflammatory foods might help. Turmeric is a classic choice in Ayurveda. You can try giving her a half teaspoon of turmeric powder in warm milk before bedtime. It might reduce inflammation over time. Fresh ginger can also help, maybe a small piece daily, either in tea or in meals.
Now those ulcers and headaches. Alright, cooling and soothing remedies could do wonders. Aloe vera juice, about 10-20 ml daily on an empty stomach, may provide some relief. It's cooling and can support healing from within. Also consider coriander seed water. Soak a teaspoon of coriander seeds overnight in water, strain and offer this to her in the morning. It cools the system and might aid digestion too.
Another thing to look at is her lifestyle. Stress and sleep can really affect inflammation—encouraging her to go to bed at a consistent time each night and practising some form of relaxation or mediation might be beneficial.
And the topic of swelling, especially, When I imagine Ankles or face, it might be due to water retention. How about, adding a bit of fennel tea to her daily routine might help. It acts as a mild diuretic.
Just remember while handling SLE, every case is different. Ayurveda can offer support but stay alert. If any new symptoms come up or things get worse, loop back with her primary healthcare provider, it's important not to replace her prescribed medications but perhaps work alongside them with these suggestions. Be patient, healing's a journey!
