Yes natural treatments including herbal remedies, vitamins/minerals & topical essential oils can really improve the quality of lupus patients lives. I take a significant amount of vitamins and supplements daily and love using essential oils on my sore joints. I know I feel better physically & mentally when I do this self care. I also like adding herbs and spices into my diet that have anti inflammatory properties. Some people swear that acupuncture works to lessen their pain.
