Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue characterized by fibrosis and thickening of various tissues. It can be limited to the skin or affect multiple organs, and its course ranges from slowly to rapidly progressive. Penicillamine, glucocorticoids, and other drugs are used to treat scleroderma, but none of these treatments has a high degree of efficacy. This article reviews several promising natural treatments for scleroderma, including para-aminobenzoic acid, vitamin E, vitamin D, evening primrose oil, estriol, N-acetylcysteine, bromelain, and an avocado/soybean extract.
硬皮病是一种结缔组织自身免疫性疾病，其特征是各种组织发生纤维化和增厚。它可局限于皮肤，也可累及多个器官，病程从缓慢进展到快速进展不等。青霉胺、糖皮质激素和其他药物用于治疗硬皮病，但这些治疗方法均没有很高的疗效。本文综述了几种有前景的硬皮病天然治疗方法，包括对氨基苯甲酸、维生素E、维生素D、月见草油、雌三醇、N-乙酰半胱氨酸、菠萝蛋白酶以及一种鳄梨/大豆提取物。
