Like many autoimmune disorders, Behcet's Disease is difficult to treat and even somewhat complicated to define. Nonetheless, you can use several natural remedies to support the immune system and limit the condition's debilitating effects. Apple cider vinegar, omega-3 fats, and vitamin C can help with symptom management.

What Is Behcet's Disease?

Behcet's disease or Behcet's syndrome is considered a rare form of arthritis. The condition causes inflammation in the blood vessels throughout your body and often leads to a myriad of symptoms that seem initially unrelated.

The disease's symptoms include mouth sores, eye inflammation, skin rashes and lesions, and even genital sores. However, the symptoms can vary significantly from person to person and may even come and go. As the condition progresses, you may also experience joint swelling, inflammation in your veins and arteries, digestive issues, and neurological issues caused by inflammation in your brain and nervous system.

How Is Behcet's Syndrome Treated?

As there is currently no cure for the condition, treatment focuses on limiting the disease's symptoms. Depending on your condition's severity, your doctor may prescribe skin creams or ointments, mouth rinses, and eye drops to alleviate these surface-level issues. Likewise, you may benefit from corticosteroids or immune suppressant medication to limit inflammation in your body.

Natural Remedies Work for Behcet's

Natural remedies can help mediate some of the symptoms you may experience. Apple cider vinegar, omega-3 fats, and vitamin C are effective nutritional supplements that help manage the symptoms associated with this condition.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Taken daily as a tonic, ACV helps keep your system pH balanced and increases energy. It also supports immune health.

Omega-3 Fats

Omega-3 fats such as fish oil help treat inflammation in the body and reduce pain.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. This nutrient helps support the immune system and eliminates free radicals and other agents that cause illness.

While there is no "cure" for this condition, natural remedies paired with medical supervision and treatment can often help prevent further disease progression and relieve some of the symptoms you may be experiencing.

My sister Jacki was born with Bechets, but didn't receive a diagnoses until age 14 at USF. She was treated with Prednisone which she took for 4 years at 18 she was ticked at her guinea pig status at USF, she weaned off the steroids, watched her diet by not eating any allergy foods she had many. Started smoking Pot and as a child born with Bechetes they routinely die early teens. She lived 5 days shy of her 50th Birthday. She had a child at age 36_, was told to smoke pot by her OB. as he ate no High fiber foods, treated her chronic eczyma with simple over the counter treatments. She smoked pot chronically, and ate decently. She passed away from small cell lung cancer.

For Bechet's Disease:

Please read this article:

Potassium iodide in dermatology: A 19th century drug for the 21st century—uses, pharmacology, adverse effects, and contraindications

My husband had something that was similar to Bechets or it could have been pyoderma gangrenosum. His skin blistered and started to ulcerate in spots, it was terrifying. I ran across this article and we started him on potassium iodide 1200 mg per day divided into 4 doses (300mg 4 times a day). Yes, you read that right, mg, not mcg. It immediately started healing his ulcerations which had been rapidly worsening. He took that dose for 2 weeks and then took one additional week to wean off. Highly recommended.
