Alternative Homeopathic Therapy for Endometriosis
1 in 10 women in the UK which is about 1.5 million women (Endometriosis UK) suffer with Endometriosis. It is the second most common gynecological condition in the UK. Women can suffer from it their whole lives, from puberty to menopause. It can affect a woman’s fertility and often causes chronic pain, heavy bleeding, fatigue. It can really impact and compromise day to day life.
The Endometrium is the tissue that lines the inside of the womb. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue like the lining of the womb grows in other places such as the ovaries, Fallopian tubes. It can cause painful, heavy periods medically known as dysmenorrhea. There can also be pelvic pain and cramping that can begin before the menstrual period. Some women experience pain during intercourse. Some females experience pain with their bowel movements. It can even be a key factor in infertility. Conventional medicine offers surgery, using the contraceptive pill or coil and / or taking pain killers such as Ibuprofen.
Endometriosis Hyperplasia: Thickness & Flare-ups
An Endometriosis flare up can cause severe pain, tiredness, and even brain fog. As Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease in which the body mounts a response, high levels of oestrogen and stress hormones worsen the inflammation, causing more discomfort for the sufferer. Sometimes my clients tell me that flare ups are made even worse for stress and poor sleep.
Endometrial Hyperplasia is when the lining of the uterus becomes unusually thick because it has too many cells. This problem can be caused by too much oestrogen or not enough progesterone. Homeopathic therapeutics can be great at restoring hormonal balance naturally and without side effects.
As well as Homeopathic therapeutics we also tackle managing their stress levels. This can be with gentle exercise like yoga or walking, good nutrition and making sure there is good quality sleep. To help my clients enjoy deeper sleep we discuss good sleep hygiene, supplements, breathing exercises as well as using indicated Homeopathic remedies.

If you have Endometriosis, it can be more difficult for you to become pregnant. Around 40% of women with Endometriosis may experience infertility. As well as experiencing painful sexual intercourse, egg quality can be affected, there can be adhesions present and ovarian cysts that block implantation.

Sometimes clients have Ovarian Endometriosis or ‘chocolate cysts’, these are cysts filled with menstrual blood. If you have this problem, you can experience pain in your lower tummy or back, which is worse during your period. You will also experience heavy bleeding and possibly pain during sexual intercourse.

Homeopathic treatment offers natural and safe management of Endometriosis, providing relief of symptoms like pain, inflammation, adhesion and scarred Fallopian tubes. Homeopathic therapeutics focuses on the underlying cause of these health problems, treating at a deep level as well as helping with symptoms.
With Endometriosis there is usually a hormonal imbalance involved, which can also affect the client at an emotional level. Homeopathic remedies are fantastic at supporting emotional and mental symptoms as well as physical.

One key difference is that when Homeopathic therapeutics are prescribed it is by symptoms rather than conditions, as illness is experienced in different ways by different people. The Homeopathic remedy is selected based on the individuals’ symptoms and the approach of the Homeopath is holistic, supporting at all levels, physically, mentally and emotionally. The aim is to treat the symptoms but also address the underlying cause of the problem.
