A Brief Classical Review on Mechanism of Autoimmunity

Abstract

The rising incidence of autoimmune diseases is straining the healthcare system's capacity to care for patients with autoimmunity. Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system attacks self-molecules as a result of a breakdown of immunologic tolerance to auto-reactive immune cells. Autoimmune reactions reflect an imbalance between effectors and regulatory immune responses.
The healthy and joyful long life is the main priority of Ayurveda. Health and disease is an integral element of an individual’s life. Ayurveda explained the concepts related to health and diseases in details, also the knowledge of aetiology, symptomology, therapeutics, numerous methods to sustain healthy status and causes behind falling sick. Ayurveda has explained many basic principles of the disease manifestation. Autoimmunity can be understood when one’s vyadhi-kshamata has been reduced.
Therefore, this review article attempts to explore the explanation of autoimmunity in our classics.
