Ovarian Cyst Natural Solutions

As nasty as they are, ovarian cysts are also relatively common.  Once the doctor has determined that you have cysts they may talk to you about the traditional treatment options that are available, usually involving pain medication, the Birth Control Pill and even surgery. But there are ovarian cyst natural remedies that can also be used to relieve your pain and even reduce the size of your cyst.

Herbal Treatments: Compared to synthetic hormones or even surgery, ovarian cyst natural cures are definitely worth looking at.  

Both traditional and alternative medicine suspects that your ovarian cyst has been in part caused by an imbalance in your hormone levels.. To address this the herbalists use specific plants to bring the body back into balance, treat the cyst and help to prevent further cysts occuring by helping the body eliminate toxins..

The only drawback to using ovarian cyst natural remedies is that they take time to work.  It is generally recommended that you continue to take your herbal remedies for around 6 weeks.

The top 5 herbs for treating your ovarian cysts are: Red Clover, Milk Thistle, Chasteberry, Dandelion, Black Cohosh

It is always best to seek advice from with a naturopath or herbalist to clarify the best herbal remedies for you, as well as your dosage.  Also, you always want to let your doctor know if you are taking any herbs as an ovarian cyst natural remedy.

Bach Flowers – Bach Flower Remedies are another example of natural remedies: Honeysuckle, Walnut, Red Chestnut, Impatiens, Wild Oats

Castor Oil – As strange as it may seem, castor oil is actually a reallt effective treatment option for your cysts.. It works as an ovarian cyst natural cure by literally dissolving the cyst. If you have been unfortunate enough to have a ruptured cyst you can use a Castor oil pack to relieve the pain and repair the damage.  

Now don’t go drinking it. To use Castor oil you need to make a Castor oil pack and apply that to your skin.  A castor oil pack not only helps your cyst, it may also help your digestive system and decrease inflammation.  It can help with constipation, gall stones, liver problems or headaches as well. It can also improve circulation and stimulate the elimination of toxins. It is not recommended as a natural cure for ovarian cyst if you have one that is cancerous.  Also, a castor oil pack is not to be used while you are having your period, or if you are pregnant.  

Diet – There is a theory that your diet may help to dictate not only whether you develop cysts, but whether your cysts become malignant or not.  Foods which have a high proportion of carbohydrates or estrogen are alleged to be significant culprits.  This is because when you eat a diet high in carbohydrates and gain weight, the fat cells tend to store estrogen.  Also, a high carbohydrate diet can wreak havoc with your insulin levels.  Excess estrogen and insulin are two hormones which are associated with ovarian cyst problems.  
While not technically a natural cure for ovarian cysts, some think that significantly reducing or eliminating foods high in carbohydrates and estrogen can be very helpful if you have ovarian cysts.  A vegetarian diet is also recommended by some to help with ovarian cyst problems.
