Endometriosis is a painful gynecological condition where endometrial tissue growth in other parts of your body causes pain, irregular bleeding, painful sexual intercourse and in some cases, infertility. Endometrial tissue may grow in your pelvic area and on your ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder and the lining of your pelvis. Risk factors may include beginning menstruation at an early age, long-lasting periods and certain anatomical abnormalities that obstruct blood flow during your period. Endometriosis affects 10 to 15 percent of menstruating women between the ages of 24 and 40 years old. Certain herbs may be helpful for the condition combined with a personalized and well-rounded treatment plan. Both internally and externally, herbal extracts may help by enhancing the body's own recuperative powers. It is a natural method of healing based on the traditional usage of herbs coupled with modern scientific developments and advocates for the use of plant-based extracts find them to be a more gentle and a safer way for restoring health. For the treatment of endometriosis, one of the first tasks of herbal medicine is to try and re-balance the hormone levels in the body. Other herbs help to strengthen the immune system so that the body can then begin to eliminate the disease. If symptoms such as breast tenderness, PMS, acne, headaches, bloating or constipation are experienced, reducing the load on the body may help halt the progression of endometriosis. Using herbal medicine for endometriosis may involve a time commitment to achieve successful recovery.
