Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a problem that I and all my herbal colleagues see a great deal in our work. It can profoundly affect a women's life and is clearly a condition that is on the rise. I won’t get into the many theories here as to why that is happening but rather just want to offer several practical thoughts.

The first is to strongly recommend you find a good herbalist to help you treat endometriosis. Many health conditions are suitable to self-treatment, this is not one of them. Any herbalist who has been in practice for a while will have a healthy respect for just how variable endometriosis can be as well as how difficult.

In my own practice there are several herbs that I have seen give considerable help with endometriosis, click on the links below to read more about them in the A-Z.

Raspberry leaf strengthens and tones the uterus, it always helps, often a lot, at least a little.
Wild Yam releases deep 'hardenings' in the body
Cramp bark relieves painful spasm
Lady's mantle helps irregular bleeding
Shepherd's purse helps excess bleeding

Lastly I want to mention that in many of the women I have worked with I have seen close connections between endometriosis and the metabolic syndrome. Eating a low carbohydrate, high protein diet and so gettting the insulin levels under control has made a huge difference to their clinical outcomes.
