The Endometriosis Natural Treatment Program: A Complete Self-Help Plan for Improving Health and Well-Being

by Valerie Ann Worwood, Julia Stonehouse

Endometriosis is a common medical condition in which the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus. Painful menstruation and infertility are two of the numerous symptoms, and it can take up to eight years to diagnose. This groundbreaking book offers practical, easy-to-implement ways to alleviate symptoms and improve overall health and well-being. It explores the environmental toxins, cosmetics, dietary habits, and other lifestyle issues that may be partially to blame for the condition. The authors outline a program for eliminating certain foods, changing habits, and using supplements and essential oils to begin healing the condition, incorporating aromatherapy, diet, sitz baths, and other methods. They suggest slow yet steady lifestyle changes that focus on whole, unprocessed foods, detoxification, self-massage, essential oils, stress reduction, herbal remedies, and supplements to address nutritional needs. The books also includes checklists and self-tests to help women implement the plan for treatment.

I had some problems with endometriosis even after a surgery. This book helped me to relief symptoms and I can maintain my health using only natural remedies. I mostly like essential oils part.

I do not have endometrosis but picked up this book to see if there are helpful suggestions for improving health and menstrual cramps.

Most of it is information I already know. A good primer for people who have no exposure to alternative medicine.

Geranium essential oil and hip massage were useful tips i picked up for cramps.
