676. How To Manage Endometriosis Naturally
Description
1 in 10 women deal with endometriosis.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrial lining inside the uterus grows outside it, often attaching to organs like the bladder, intestines, or muscle tissue. This tissue is estrogen-sensitive, which can cause inflammation, pain, and other symptoms, especially around your period.
Here are some of my tools for natural endometriosis relief:
Daily Red Light Therapy Using red light therapy daily is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool. Red light helps stimulate blood flow and reduce inflammation. Consistent, daily use of a quality red light device can offer ongoing relief. Look for a wireless, therapeutic-grade device that can wrap around your abdomen or lower back.
Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Movement Dry brushing around the abdomen stimulates lymphatic flow, which can reduce bloating and discomfort. Moving lymph fluid helps clear out excess estrogen, which is often linked to symptom flare-ups.
Acupuncture, Massage, and Chiropractic Care
Acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic adjustments release tension, relieve pain, and enhance circulation. These therapies help manage endometriosis symptoms by targeting the nervous system and muscles, aiding the body in regulating pain responses.
Anti-Inflammatory Supplements Supplements like ginger, curcumin, Boswellia, and devil's claw are highly anti-inflammatory and support pain management. Consider blends such as Inflamese Plus, which combines these ingredients to support the body in addressing pain and inflammation, particularly beneficial for endometriosis.

5. Dietary Adjustments to Reduce Inflammation Endometriosis symptoms can worsen with inflammation, so eliminating processed foods, reducing alcohol intake, and cutting down on sugars can be beneficial. Opting for an anti-inflammatory diet, rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and leafy greens, can help regulate hormone levels and minimize monthly flare-ups.
6. Hormone Balance with Dutch Testing Monitoring and managing your estrogen and progesterone levels is crucial in managing endometriosis. High estrogen levels can worsen symptoms, so keeping a close eye on hormone health through DUTCH testing is key.
7. Stress Management Stress has a direct impact on inflammation and hormone levels. Find daily practices to reduce stress — whether through deep breathing, mindfulness, setting boundaries or gentle movement — helps prevent symptom flare-ups.
