    Unfortunatly you will not find any natural cure for this condition. You can stop hormones which is a temp. fix only, or surgically have the ectopic tissues removed.

    Contrary to common misconceptions about the disease, there is no cure. There are, however, several methods of treatment which may alleviate some of the pain and symptoms.

    How Supplements Can Help

    You can begin with daily doses of two herbs traditionally paired together: chasteberry and dong quai. They can help balance hormones that cause endometrial pain. They also relax the uterus, a benefit also true of the herb wild yam.

    Because endometriosis is thought to be a condition of “estrogen excess,” taking a daily lipotropic combination, which makes the liver more efficient at clearing extra estrogen from the body, can help. A suggested combination might contain milk thistle, choline, inositol hexaniacinate, methionine, and dandelion.

    In high doses, calcium and magnesium can relieve menstrual pain by lowering levels of prostaglandins (body chemicals produced by the uterine cells that cause cramps). If you decide to take a high-dose calcium/magnesium supplement for painful cramps, take it only during your period.

    Other supplements, which you can include simply because they have so many positive effects throughout the body, may also help with endometriosis. Vitamin E balances hormones, reduces inflammation, and boosts the immune system.

    Evening primrose oil (or the less expensive borage oil) and flaxseed oil provide essential fatty acids that help control inflammation and block cramp-causing prostaglandins.

    Vitamin C can hasten the healing of tissues damaged by cysts and scarring; it also helps control heavy bleeding by strengthening capillary walls.

    Consider acupuncture treatments. This therapy, in conjunction with Chinese herbs, has been seen to alter and balance the body’s hormones and to provide pain relief for endometriosis.
