Are there any alternative medicines for scleroderma patients?

Condition analysis:
The Scleroderma Research Foundation conducts research based on scientific methods. Unfortunately, many alternative therapies have yet to be studied under such methods. There is not yet enough evidence to support any of these treatment options. We do advocate for behavioral and lifestyle changes such as yoga, biofeedback and meditation that may help increase flexibility and reduce the mental stress from having scleroderma or other illnesses. If you are aware of any scientific evidence that supports any type of therapy – alternative or otherwise – we encourage you to Contact Us so that we can forward the information to researchers and clinicians who may benefit from the data.

Instructions:
Ginger: Scleroderma leads to digestion problems. Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, difficulty in swallowing and heartburn are just some of the symptoms of scleroderma. Ginger is a great antibiotic, antioxidant and antimicrobial agent, which fights bad fats. It also boosts immunity. Finely chop ginger and add it to a cup of boiling water. Stir for a couple of minutes and turn off the flame. Wait for 15 minutes. Strain the tea into a cup and enjoy a warm cup of ginger tea. Drink around 4-5 cups of ginger tea every day.
