Diet and supplement changes for resolving endometriosis naturally along with suggested holistic modalities that can speed the healing process.
Official statistics estimate that between 6-10% of women suffer from endometriosis.
From the size and selection of menstrual pain remedies at the pharmacy, however, it seems that most women are completely unaware that curing endometriosis naturally is indeed possible.
What are Endometriosis Symptoms?
Endometriosis occurs when the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows and thrives beyond the uterine cavity. The most common location for endometrial lesions to occur is the lining of the abdominal cavity, called the peritoneum.
Women with endometriosis suffer most commonly from pelvic pain, especially during the menstrual cycle. This pain can be debilitating and even threatening to health from excessive blood loss.
In addition to pain and bleeding sometimes all month long, endometriosis is also credited with as much as 50% of cases of infertility.
Other signs and symptoms of endometriosis include the following: (1)
- Pain before and during your period. Note that toxic feminine hygiene products can exacerbate the problem.
- Lower back pain.
- Pain during or after intercourse.
- Fatigue, infertility, chronic pelvic pain not just during your period.
- Painful bowel movements, constipation, diarrhea, painful urination during your period.
- Irregular or heavy periods.
When endometriosis involves the ovaries, tissue can grow and bleed over time forming what is called chocolate cysts. (2)
Conventional Treatments of Little Help
Unfortunately, if a woman visits her gynecologist about symptoms or complications related to endometriosis, only medication to control the pain or surgery for severe cases is all that is typically recommended.
If infertility is the result of endometriosis and a woman wishes to get pregnant, expensive fertility treatments are the order of the day.
This approach does not resolve the problem, however. In fact, it may actually worsen a woman’s hormonal balance over time causing other health issues later.
Endometriosis Relief Naturally
Fortunately, there is growing recognition that the pain and inflammation which characterizes endometriosis can be improved dramatically or even resolved completely with diet.
I myself suffered from endometriosis starting when I was a teenager. Diet change alone with no other treatments whatsoever completely resolved the problem. I’ve been in complete remission now for well over 20 years.
If you are also experiencing symptoms of endometriosis, there is hope! Whether the problems are new to you or longstanding, diet change combined with holistic therapies as needed work extremely well.
The reputable clinic Biodynamic Wellness in Solana Beach, California reports that the following dietary changes and holistic therapies below have proven to be very helpful to patients battling endometriosis.
If you need more detailed assistance, this clinic does zoom or phone consultations for those who do not live in the area.
Dietary Recommendations
Change of diet is crucial for natural resolution of endometriosis. Suggestions include both food and supplements to encourage the process.
- One tablespoon of high vitamin cod liver oil TWICE daily for 60 days. After that, a daily teaspoon per day is sufficient for maintenance. Please note that most cod liver oil brands on the market extract the oil using heat. This processing alters the integrity of the oil and destroys nutrients. This source and this source both carry high quality brands that are raw and tested for purity.
- Traditional Diet with special emphasis on daily dietary fats. These include raw butter, ghee, and/or X-factor raw butter oil, egg yolks, organ meats and fish roe. (3) This article on five healthy fats to use in the kitchen can provide more specifics.
Holistic Therapies
Holistic therapies that can be implemented as needed in conjunction with Traditional Diet for curing endometriosis include:
- Rubus ideaus gemmotherapy, at a dosage of 1/2 tsp in water twice daily. What is gemmotherapy? It is a therapy that uses stem cell extracts of fresh buds, shoots, roots or stems from embryonic or mature plants. This modality is helpful for tissue regeneration, positive growth development and drainage of toxins. Rubus idaeus is derived from the shoots of the red raspberry bush. It is an effective remedy for drainage of the uterus and pelvic region. It also helps to tonify the uterus. Contact the staff at Biodynamicwellness.com for where to source.
- Use a castor oil pack once daily or nightly over the liver and pelvic region. Details on how to make and use a castor oil pack properly for reducing pelvic inflammation can be found at the link.
- Coffee enemas can be a helpful addition to the process as needed. See the linked article for details.
Are you are one of the millions of women suffering month after month with the debilitating effects of endometriosis?
Instead of bombarding your body with drugs or resorting to surgery to manage the problem, try diet change first!

From where would I get the shoot of red raspberry bush? It is not a common fruit where I live. Please help? Also, can you please suggest a diet for a vegetarian woman? I live in India. It is requested to suggest the meal/vegetable/fruits which are available in India.
Hi, I was just wondering if the “TBL” of (fermented?) cod liver oil refers to tablespoon, just because that is a higher dose than I have heard recommended (I usually hear of it being taken in teaspoons). Thanks!
This is the dosage recommended by biodynamicwellness for healing purposes only. Short term.
i totally agree with you sarah that endometriosis is the dietary disorder , it can be completely cured with diet plan , all you have to identify the certain food which is causing inflammation in your body and completely remove it from your diet, the rule of thumb is cut the gluten , dairy , meat , sugar etc from your diet, take essential vitamins and mineral supplement, increase vitamin D intake , my friend reversed her endometriosis condition she had laparoscopy to remove her big chocolate cyst , again her cyst came , then she changed her diet plan and hit the gym, she increased her vitamin d intake , taken cinnamon powder to lower the insulin spike and finally she cured her endometriosis . you guys can also cure this condition go with sarah what she tells in this article it is 100% effective, you may also like to read more about this here .

Are Uterine Fibroids Endometriosis?
I had endometrosis 10years.ineed acure
I had endometriosis for 18 years and i never thought i would ever get a cure due to the terrible symptoms i had and this made it impossible for me to get pregnant even after 12 years of marriage and it was a serious issue. I got to know about Dr. Aleta who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cure and let her contact details, i contacted Dr. Aleta and she actually confirmed it and i decided to give a try too and use her herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 this december and i am grateful to God and thankful to her for medicine too. If you have (Endometriosis, PCOS, Fibroid, Ovarian cyst, Ectopic Pregnancy or any infertility issues) just reach her on (aletedwin @ gmail. com) she has professional advise and a cure too.
This is a great write up, I was also a victim, having uterine fibroid for many years. The size of my fibroid was very large as a grapefruit in my womb, trying to conceive was so hard. My difficulty was not only getting pregnant, but keeping the pregnancy. I occasionally had reoccurring bouts with dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to fibroid tumors. I even came close to having a hysterectomy, but due to future/possible complications, I refused. I learned about some herbs mixture prepared by Dr.Leonard and that was my breakthrough to a long standing problem. I already gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, very healthy, happy, and bright. I forgot to mention that my non-existent sex drive returned within just a few weeks of starting the herbs, this was a pleasant surprise. If interested and ready to give a try check out his blog: curetouterinefibroid.blogspot.com/ or contact me for my detailed experience; vicjack39 @ gmail.com.

I follow this blog regularly and love it! I am curious to know of anyone who has experienced healing with this protocol in extreme situations. I have been having problems with endo and a fibroid that has taken up 90%of my uterus. It is a single submucosal fibroid that has tripled in size in just 7 months. My cycles are regular. But my bleeding lasts anywhere from 14-20 days each month. I cycle every 28-30 days without fail. My bleeding this month has not stopped. I have been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for 38 days. Causing me to become anemic. There is a high likelihood if my bleeding doesn’t stop a transfusion will take place. My hemoglobin is in the mid 7 range.
My doctor has also recommended a myectomy for the fibroid.
Anyone experience anything like this? Did using this method or similar methods work?
Anyone have surgery?
Any suggestions for someone who may need a partial hysterectomy? For making the best of it using traditional methods?
