Natural and herbal remedies to many illnesses and diseases have long been regarded as alternatives to conventional medications but have over the years gained momentum with some doctors and health practitioners as viable, supplemental options when seeking treatment for their malady.
Ovarian cysts are very common among women during their child-bearing years. They are small sacs filled with fluid, and they can form in one or both of the ovaries.
It is not uncommon that a woman have ovarian cysts without her even knowing about it. Oftentimes, cysts don't cause any symptoms for a woman, which is the reason they are left unnoticed. Many times ovarian cysts are found during routine pelvic exams. If they don't cause any symptoms, no treatments are necessary. If they do cause symptoms, typically birth control pills or hormones are prescribed.
Cysts generally develop due to some hormonal imbalance and over time will shrink and disappear. In order to facilitate that shrinkage there are natural, herbal treatments that can help.
Typical symptoms of ovarian cysts include pelvic pain, irregular or absence of menstruation, nausea and vomiting, and even fever or chills. If you have these symptoms, and they bother you, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible. Again, if you prefer using some natural remedies instead of medications, there are some herbs that may help you.
Some of the herbs that have been used in treating ovarian cysts include chasteberry, bee pollen, milk thistle, wild yam, red clover, and black cohosh. Also, a famous Australian herbalist, Robert McDowell, recommends Bach Flower remedies (walnut, red chestnut, honeysuckle, wild oats). You can use them together with herbal medicines or alone.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a type of chronic ovarian cyst meaning that is recurring and there is no known cure for it. It too is caused by hormonal imbalances and if left untreated it can lead to infertility, diabetes, and heart disease.
Although there is no cure there are ways to control polycystic ovarian syndrome. Many herbal remedies or supplements can help regulate and restore hormonal imbalances that may cause PCOS to flare up.
Some herbs that are typically used as a PCOS treatment to regain hormonal balance include milk thistle, white peony tea, saw palmetto, and dandelion root. Vitex is also used, but it is not recommended if you are undergoing some infertility treatment or using birth control.
Uterine fibroids are another condition that is very common among women. They are solid muscle tissues that develop on the uterus. Herbal fibroids treatment options include poke root, ginger, dandelion, milk thistle seed, and chasteberry.
