Herbal Allies for those with Ovarian Cysts and Endometriosis

Q: Dear Susun and Justine,

Thank you for your dedicated and loving work. Would you please direct me to information in your writings about treatments for ovarian cysts and endometriosis. I am seeking information to help my beautiful daughter with her pain.

Thank you, M.

 

A: Hello M., here are some resources for you. On our websites are these question and answers with Susun:
Chickweed and Castor Oil Packs
Comfrey Leaf Poultices 

More raves about chickweed ...

and of Poke

.... and Seaweeds:
An Ally for Women's Mysteries
Seaweeds and Nettle

Violet leaves

Red Clover

Plaintain

... and Calendula.

Also, I encourage you to explore the past threads, and post one of your own if you would like, on our online forum. It is a great resource!

I would imagine much of what we do for a woman dealing with endometriosis, and even ovarian cysts, would be similar to what we would do for one dealing with fibroids or infertility.

I hear and understand your concern for your daughter. If you do choose to post at the forum, it might help to elaborate a bit - does she have other health concerns, how long has she had the cysts or endo, how do they manifest, how old is she, what is her diet like, etc?

I understand good fats to be important for people to produce healthy needed hormones. Same with good exercise. There are many theories on the causes of endometriosis, as you may already know. You can read more here. One of the theories is that it is a result of a poorly functioning immune system. In case this is true for your daughter, either of you may appreciate reading this article on strengthening our immune system.

The advantages of working with nourishing - nourishing our immune, endocrine/hormonal, and reproductive systems - is that harm is rarely a concern. The worst that could happen is still having the cysts and/or endo but also having a stronger healthier body. If it were me, I would be focusing on this - nourishment. Nourishing my immune system, mostly with the foods and life habits in the article above; nourishing my hormonal systems with healthy fats in my diet; and nourishing my reproductive system with herbal infusions like Red Clover blossom, perhaps Violet leaf (as a food too). I may even extend to work with one of the herbs listed above - though just one so it has my focus.

If I can help you any more M., please let me know. If you choose too, we would love to hear what you and your daughter feel is the right thing/s for her, and how she is faring. We wish you and your daughter the best!

Blessings,
Karen Joy
