Nature’s Rx for Endometriosis
A year ago, my mentor’s friend, who had suffered for years from Endometriosis, sought a natural path to healing. Together, they worked on reversing this painful degenerative condition and avoiding surgery by changing her diet and using natural supplements. There are some very effective natural solutions recommended for endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a condition associated with inflammation, scarring, cyst formation, and other organ damage. Women suffering from Endometriosis experience intense pelvic pain one week prior to periods, heavy menstrual flow, constipation, bladder problems, fatigue, anemia, and low backaches.
Medical model treatment for Endometriosis involves using estrogen-based medications, such as oral contraceptives or hormone-replacement therapy. If drug therapy fails, a hysterectomy may be recommended.
It is suggested that anyone with Endometriosis should run blood tests to check thyroid function. Hypothyroidism can mimic some of the symptoms of Endometriosis, such as menstrual pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. For some women, food allergies can exacerbate symptoms as well.
Natural Treatments for Endometriosis
It typically takes one to two months before a person feels better. Significant improvement may take as long as six months. Therefore, patience is required in this whole process of natural treatment. Does it work? Absolutely.
Using a three-pronged approach is very effective in reversing endometriosis naturally:
1. Stopping Pain and Inflammation
Because endometriosis can be such a painful condition, choosing herbs and supplements that specifically address this can be very helpful.
Salicin for Pain Relief: Use salicin, the aspirin-like compound found in herbs like white willow bark. Unlike aspirin, white willow bark does not contribute to peptic-ulcer formation. Another option is meadowsweet, which also contains salicin. Look for meadowsweet in either capsule or tincture forms and follow label instructions for dosages.
Cayenne for Circulation and Pain Relief: A remarkable case was documented on a television program featuring alternative medicine. A woman scheduled for a hysterectomy due to advanced endometriosis decided to delay the operation and take a cruise with her husband. During the trip, she experienced severe pain. A nurse on board recommended an old-fashioned remedy—taking cayenne powder several times a day with water. Within one day, the patient was pain-free and enjoyed the rest of the cruise. She never had the surgery and had remained endometriosis-free for ten years by continuing to take cayenne daily.
Cayenne is known for its ability to stimulate circulation, relieve pain, and support the heart. The active compound, capsaicin, blocks pain signals and acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Enzyme Therapy for Inflammation:
The most effective enzyme supplement for endometriosis is superoxide dismutase (SOD). It fights inflammation and acts as the most potent antioxidant. The best SOD supplement is derived from whole food sources like wheat sprouts and is micro-blended with red algae and wild-crafted blue-green algae, which are rich in minerals.
Start with one tablet, gradually increasing to six tablets daily for two weeks, then reduce to a maintenance level of two tablets per day. It is essential to drink at least eight glasses of water between meals when taking this supplement.
Systemic enzyme therapy can also help break up fibrin formation, reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, and improve circulation. Enzymes support tissue repair, remove waste, and enhance overall health. Use a blend containing amylase, lipase, protease, lactase, bromelain, and papain.
Castor-Oil Packs for Pain Relief:
Castor-oil packs can help ease discomfort in the pelvic region. This therapy, developed by Edgar Cayce, involves soaking cotton flannel in cold-pressed castor oil and applying it over the affected area with a heating pad. Using this method three to seven times per week can significantly reduce pain and inflammation.
Primrose Oil to Diminish Inflammation: Take up to six capsules of organic primrose oil daily. Royal Brittany is a recommended brand due to its high-quality sourcing.
2. Balancing Estrogen Levels
A therapeutic diet plays a crucial role in balancing hormone-related symptoms. The endocrine glands take messages from the brain and translate them into specific organ functions through hormone release. Important dietary elements for hormone balance include:
Fruits and Fresh Smoothies: Support blood sugar modulation, adrenal function, and thyroid health while providing essential calcium and magnesium.
Coconut Oil: One of the healthiest saturated fats, coconut oil supports thyroid function and weight balance, offering anti-aging and anti-cancer properties.
Carrots: Their fiber tones the bowel, binds toxins (including excess estrogen), and lowers cholesterol.
3. Supporting the Liver
A key component in endometriosis treatment is ensuring optimal liver function. The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing and removing excess estrogen from the body. Supporting liver function helps regulate estrogen levels naturally.
Turmeric for Liver Health:
Turmeric contains curcuminoids, which have powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying properties. It also aids in hormone balance and cellular repair. Start with one teaspoon of turmeric at bedtime with water, increasing to two teaspoons within a week.
Other Liver-Supporting Foods:
Beets, cabbage, and artichokes are excellent choices for enhancing liver detoxification.
Wild-crafted microorganic algae, rich in chlorophyll, helps detoxify the liver and strengthen the immune system.
