Ayurveda for Endometriosis
How Ayurveda Addresses Endometriosis
Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to managing endometriosis. This treatment modality focuses on addressing the root causes of your symptoms while supporting your body's natural healing processes.
Naturopathic Approach to Endometriosis
Naturopathic management of endometriosis emphasizes reducing inflammation, modulating immune function, and supporting hormonal balance to slow disease progression and manage symptoms. Anti-inflammatory nutrition protocols eliminate inflammatory triggers and emphasize omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber to support estrogen metabolism. Botanical medicines including turmeric, resveratrol, and pycnogenol help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Hormone-modulating herbs and supplements support healthy estrogen metabolism and progesterone production. Functional testing can identify immune dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammatory markers. Pelvic floor therapy addresses musculoskeletal pain patterns. Lifestyle interventions including stress management, regular movement, and sleep optimization support immune and hormonal health. This integrative approach aims to reduce pain severity, improve quality of life, and support fertility when desired.
