Endo Treatment Options: Natural

Endo Treatment Options: Natural

While medical options remain the most effective in terms of endometriosis treatment, you may find some natural remedies useful too. Whether you’re looking for additional relief or you’re hoping to avoid medical treatment entirely, there are a number of natural treatments you could try.

Here, we’ll look at some of the most effective natural remedies available to treat endometriosis. Remember that before trying any of these remedies, it’s important to seek advice from your healthcare practitioner. 


Switch to a Low-Fat Diet

One of the simplest natural treatments for endometriosis is switching to a low-fat diet. There have been some studies carried out which have shown that chemicals known as dioxins can increase the risk and severity of the condition. To reduce your intake of these toxins, you can cut back on the saturated fats you consume. 

Cutting back on red meat and high-fat dairy products can make a small difference to the symptoms you experience. Increasing your consumption of fruits and vegetables can also lower your risk of developing the condition.


Heat Therapy

If you’re looking to relieve the pain associated with endometriosis and you don’t want to turn to pain relief medications, heat therapy is a good alternative. 

Placing a heat pack onto the affected area can take the pain away quickly. This is because it helps to relax the muscles within the pelvis, helping to reduce the cramps. You could also take a warm bath or use a hot water bottle.


Eva™

Eva™ represents a drug-free option that combines 2 different treatments: heating and TENS.

  • Graphene Heating Technology increases the blood flow and relaxes your tissues;
  • TENS Technology blocks the transmission of pain signals to the brain and stimulates the production of endorphins.

Castor Oil

One of the most common natural treatments for endometriosis is castor oil. It’s been used for decades to treat the condition and can prove particularly effective during the beginning stages of the condition. When you first feel the cramping, massaging castor oil onto the abdomen can help to relax the muscles. It’s also said to help get rid of excess tissue. 

You can apply it with a warm compress if preferred and it can also be mixed with essential oils to really relax the body.


Progesterone Cream

Another natural treatment that is frequently recommended is progesterone cream. This is said to stop the endometrial cells from proliferating. This in turn helps to slow down and, in some cases, reduce the size of uterine growth.  

You can typically find this product in drug stores. It can be applied on the upper chest, wrists, inner arms or inner thighs. You should seek advice from your doctor regarding the dosage before you try it.


Turmeric

Turmeric is considered one of the best spices in terms of its health benefits. It contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties which can help to manage the symptoms of endometriosis. There has even been a small amount of evidence presented in studies to suggest it can prevent endometrial growth. You can either consume turmeric tea or take turmeric capsules if preferred.


There are a lot of natural treatments advertised to combat endometriosis and its symptoms. However, the ones mentioned above are some of the most effective you can try out. 

It’s important to remember that when it comes to endometriosis treatment, the medical treatments available tend to be the most effective.
