Natural Care And Treatment For Endometriosis
Sharon Hopkins
Endometriosis is one of the main reasons for female
infertility. It affects nearly 5 to 10 per cent women and can
occur anytime from the beginning of the menstrual period till
the menopause period. In rare cases it may appear even after
the menopause. You can be affected even after hysterectomy
surgery or menopause due to the estrogen replacement therapy or
continuous hormones production after the menopause. In this
condition, endometrial tissue that lines the inside of the
uterus, grows outside the uterus to latch itself on other
organs such as ovaries, fallopian tubes or the ligaments which
supports the uterus. This tissue responds to the monthly cycle
hormones which causes a bleeding without any passage to exit.
This causes inflammation and scarring of the tissue, one of the
causes for infertility in women.

repeated three times and should be avoided during menstruation.
• Acupressure helps in relieving pain caused due to
endometriosis. When the pain starts press the area on the
inside of your leg about two inches above your ankle bone.
Press with your thumb to locate the spot that feels tender.
Another area is to press is the web of your hand. Press at the
base where the bones of your thumb and index finger meet. If
