70-80% of the immune cells in our bodies are based in the gut.
There is a close two-way interaction between your gut microbiome and our immune system.
Any damage to the gut mucosa from antibiotics, viral infections, stress, toxic chemicals, food allergies, sugar etc trigger the gut-based immune system, driving systemic inflammation and, ultimately, driving chronic inflammatory diseases.
If there is too much inflammation the immune system can over-react, sometimes leading to an auto-immune situation.
Luckily our immune systems are incredibly resilient and can be repaired and healed, providing the damage is stopped.
A Naturopathic programme will support gut healing and immune re-balancing with herbs and nutrients to reduce inflammation naturally.
