5 Natural Remedies For Ovarian Cysts

Natural Remedies For Ovarian Cysts

Cysts occur commonly in numerous tissues and organs and are often named according to their particular anatomic location (for example ovarian cysts, bladder cysts, breast cysts, liver cysts, kidney cysts, pancreatic cysts, vaginal cysts, skin cysts, thyroid cysts).

Specifically, ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets in an ovary or on its surface. Women have two ovaries — each about the size and shape of an almond — on each side of the uterus. Eggs (ova), which develop and mature in the ovaries, are released in monthly cycles during the childbearing years.

Many women have ovarian cysts at some time. Most ovarian cysts present little or no discomfort and are harmless. The majority disappears without treatment within a few months.

However, some ovarian cysts, especially those that have ruptured, can cause excruciating pain and serious symptoms.

5 Natural Remedies For Ovarian Cysts:

Echinacea

Taking echinacea, a traditional Native American herb, may help alleviate some types of cysts. Marilyn Glenville, president of the Food and Health Forum at the Royal Society of Medicine, suggests that taking echinacea for 20 days interrupted by a three-day break in the middle may increase white blood cell count and effectiveness by breaking down the abnormal cells that make up ovarian cysts. Echinacea may also help treat acne cysts.

Dandelion

Eat dandelion greens as an herbal remedy to reduce the occurrence of cysts in your body if you are a woman. Dr. John R. Christopher, founder of the School of Natural Healing, indicates that cysts grow due to potassium deficiency. A 1-cup serving of raw dandelion greens contains 218 mg of potassium, a considerable portion of the 2,000 mg of this mineral you require each day.
Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can help shrink and dissolve ovarian cysts caused by potassium deficiency. It is high in potassium and recommended by many health experts.
