Autoimmune disorders are the condition in which the body's immune system destroys healthy cells. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a chronic auto immune disease of unknown origin results in the formation of auto antibodies, which cause widespread tissue damage and inflammation in the affected organs. In India, the prevalence ranges between 14 to 60 cases per 100,000 people. The lack of specificity in the early signs and symptoms of SLE, as well as the fact that it can affect people of all ages, including children, makes the diagnosis challenging. The Raktapradoshaja Vikaras, with symptoms viz Mukhapaka, Dourbalya, Siroruk, Raktapitta, Angamarda, Indralupta, Agnisada, and Jwara as described in Ayurvedic treatises, can be compared with the symptoms of SLE. Due to the Nidanas stated, Vata and Pitta Doshas gets vitiated resulting in Agnidushana. The Apakwa Anna becomes Amla in Rasa leading to Anna Visha. When this Vishamsa of Anna combines with Dosha, Dhatus and Malas leads to different diseases. Raktapradoshaja Vikaras can be treated with, Upavasa, Raktamokshana Virechana and Raktapittahara kriya.
