Natural Treatments for Dysautonomia

Introduction: Moving Beyond Symptom Management

For years, I believed that “healing” meant simply managing my Dysautonomia symptoms taking medications, drinking electrolytes, and resting whenever my body crashed. But over time, I realized this condition doesn’t just happen randomly. Dysautonomia is often tied to deeper issues like chronic infections, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and even unprocessed stress.

🌱 Instead of asking, “What pill will make me feel better?”, I began asking, “Why is my body struggling in the first place?” That shift in perspective changed everything. Healing became less about masking symptoms and more about giving my body the tools to repair itself.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the natural treatments that helped me restore balance and how you can use them to address Dysautonomia at its root.

🌿 Natural Treatments for Dysautonomia

1. Nervous System Regulation

Because Dysautonomia stems from dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), calming and retraining your nervous system is essential.

Practical methods to try:

• Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Deep breathing, humming, or cold exposure

• Mind-Body Practices: Yoga, meditation, somatic therapy

• Heart Rate Variability Training: Biofeedback to reset ANS balance

• Trauma Release Therapy: Addressing stored emotional stress that keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight

2. Nutrition & Diet for Healing

What you eat can either heal or inflame your nervous system. A nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet makes a huge difference.

Foods to add:

• Wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, bone broth → Omega-3s & collagen for nerve support

• Leafy greens, avocados, nuts → Magnesium & B vitamins for adrenal health

• Herbal teas, ginger, turmeric → Natural anti-inflammatories

Foods to avoid:

• Processed sugar, gluten, dairy, and seed oils

• Excess caffeine & alcohol, which stress the adrenals

3. Hydration & Electrolyte Balance

Low blood volume and dehydration often worsen Dysautonomia symptoms like brain fog, dizziness, and fatigue.

Tips for better hydration:

• Add high-quality salts (like Himalayan or Celtic salt)

• Use electrolyte powders or coconut water

• Include magnesium & potassium to support nerve signaling

4. Healing the Gut & Microbiome

Your gut and nervous system are deeply interconnected. If your gut lining is damaged or your microbiome is imbalanced, your nervous system will feel the effects.

Gut-healing strategies:

• Bone broth, fermented foods, and probiotics to repair the gut lining

• Remove food intolerances like gluten, dairy, and artificial sweeteners

• Support digestion with enzymes and stomach acid supplements when needed

5. Balancing Hormones & Adrenals

Hormonal imbalances especially cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid hormones—are often overlooked in Dysautonomia treatment.

Natural ways to rebalance hormones:

• Adaptogens like Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Maca

• Nutrient-rich foods with selenium, zinc, and iodine for thyroid support

• Cycle syncing and seed cycling for women

➡️ One of the biggest breakthroughs in my healing journey came from targeted supplements. For example, BOOST helped restore adrenal function and balance cortisol, while Hormone & PMS Support stabilized estrogen and progesterone levels. Instead of masking symptoms, these gave my body the building blocks to function again.

6. Treating Chronic Infections & Toxins

Many Dysautonomia patients have underlying infections or toxic load that disrupt the nervous system.

Hidden triggers may include:

• Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus

• Mold toxicity or heavy metals

Safe detox strategies:

• Infrared sauna therapy for gentle detox

• Liver support (milk thistle, dandelion, castor oil packs)

• Parasite cleanses & biofilm disruptors (oregano oil, neem, mimosa pudica)

7. Exercise & Movement – The Right Way

Exercise can be a double-edged sword with Dysautonomia. Too much cardio may worsen symptoms, but the right movement can aid healing.

Best options:

• Rebounding (mini-trampoline) for lymphatic flow

• Walking & swimming for circulation

• Gentle strength training to build stamina gradually

Avoid pushing your body into exhaustion listen to your limits.

8. Mindset & Emotional Healing

Healing Dysautonomia isn’t only physical it’s also mental and emotional. Shifting your mindset creates resilience.

Powerful mindset practices:

• Stop identifying as “sick” see yourself as healing

• Reframe symptoms as signals, not punishments

• Surround yourself with supportive, positive people

💡 Key Takeaways: Where to Begin

Healing doesn’t happen overnight. Start small and build momentum:

• Calm your nervous system (deep breathing, vagus nerve work)

• Clean up your diet (reduce inflammation & balance blood sugar)

• Heal your gut & support adrenal health

• Address chronic infections and toxic exposures

• Use targeted supplements like BOOST or CALM to rebuild balance

Consistency matters more than perfection. Each small step strengthens your body’s ability to recover.
