Natural Treatment for Endometriosis with the Help of Yoga and Ayurvedic Herbs

Endometriosis is an inflammatory, painful and hormonal condition in which the endometrial tissue (which normally lines inside the uterus) starts growing outside the uterus.

Most commonly, the growth is on the outer surface of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and in some cases, it can also spread inside the abdominal cavity.

This endometrial tissue which grows outside the uterus continues to shed blood in sync with the menstrual cycle. This shedding of blood causes much pain, irritation, and inflammation associated with endometriosis.

The outside growth of tissue over time leads to the formation of scar tissue which in turn results in organs like (intestines and urinary bladder) sticking together. This can cause severe pain during menstruation, cramping, chronic pelvic pain, constipation, bloating and pain during sex.

Ayurvedic Concept of Endometriosis

According to Ayurveda, Endometriosis is a Sannipatika condition involving all the three doshas, but primarily it is considered to be a Kapha problem due to overgrowth of tissues much like a tumor. Due to the involvement of blood and inflammatory conditions related to endometriosis, it is considered as a Pitta problem.

Vata is also involved causing much pain and displacement of endometrial cells from their original location to outside the uterus. It is mainly a condition of Vata pushing Pitta, pushing Kapha out of their natural place.

Therefore, the Sannipatika nature of the disease involves the three doshas. This condition of endometriosis is very well explained in our Ayurvedic granthas like Charak Sanhita ( Chikitsa Sthan , Chapter 30 , Shloka no. 14,15 )

Endometriosis and Natural Treatment

Unfortunately, most treatments which include long term use of painkillers (NSAIDS and Hormones) normally can provide temporary relief, but also have risks of damaging the gut lining and other complications.

Ayurveda provides a total holistic approach to heal the root cause of endometriosis, including pain reduction, removing of unhealthy tissue, and healing the damage. Ayurveda provides a long term, sustainable approach, which helps in reducing chronic inflammation, balances the hormones, and improves the body’s immune power through diet, herbs, rasayanas and physical therapies like Yoga and meditation.
