Autoimmune disorders pose as a severe threat to the medical fraternity. It is a condition wherein the immunity of the body attacks the healthy tissue, the exact reason behind this autoimmunity is not known and the risk factors involved behind  this is  also not much known. So the only way to treat the autoimmunity is to set the body right. If the body and the mind are running right then the  autoimmunity can be corrected. Some of the autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid  arthritis, systemic  lupus  erythematosus or inflammatory  bowel disease, alopecia  areata etc. to fix the body or to set the body right, there are many kinds of  aspects which are told in Ayurveda or yoga are the daily regime or the seasonal  regime or the  rithucharya as what we call it. So if we make the body to undergo detoxification regularly, at regular  intervals, that is as per the seasons or as per the ritus, then a person is  following   a right dinacharya or the daily  regime, then all these  kinds  of autoimmune pathologies can be  prevented  and also can be cured. Detoxification at regular intervals helps in flushing out the regular doshas, which can be responsible or can be a potential factor in causing the pathology of autoimmunity. Along with this a certain asanas or pranayamas has to be practised on a daily basis to overcome all these disorders.
