How to Alleviate Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Symptoms Naturally with Home Remedies

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, meaning that it is a disease in which the body's immune system damages its own cells. In MS, the body destroys myelin, the protective cover of nerves in the spinal chord and brain. Symptoms depend on the severity of MS, and can affect the memory, vision, motor and cognitive functions of the brain. Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause of disability in early adulthood. The cause of MS is unknown and may be the result of genetics or exposure to environmental toxins.
