Lifestyle Changes and Home Remedies for MS
To help relieve the signs and symptoms of MS, try to:
- Get plenty of rest.
- Exercise. If you have mild to moderate MS, regular exercise can help improve your strength, muscle tone, balance and coordination. Swimming or other water exercises are good options if you're bothered by heat. Other types of mild to moderate exercise recommended for people with MS include walking, stretching, low-impact aerobics, stationary bicycling, yoga and tai chi.
- Cool down. MS symptoms often worsen when your body temperature rises. Avoiding exposure to heat and using devices such as cooling scarves or vests can be helpful.
- Eat a balanced diet. Results of small studies suggest that a diet low in saturated fat but high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in olive and fish oils, may be beneficial. But further research is needed. Studies also suggest that vitamin D may have potential benefit for people with MS.
- Relieve stress. Stress may trigger or worsen your signs and symptoms. Yoga, tai chi, massage, meditation or deep breathing may help.
Alternative Medicine for MS
Many people with MS use a variety of alternative or
complementary treatments or both to help manage their symptoms, such as fatigue
and muscle pain.
Activities such as exercise, meditation, yoga, massage,
eating a healthier diet, acupuncture and relaxation techniques may help boost
overall mental and physical well-being, but there are few studies to back up
their use in managing symptoms of MS.
