Traditional treatment of endometrial hyperplasia is therapy using traditional medicine methods.
Such treatment is carried out using medicinal plants and other safe for health means. Let's consider the most popular and effective folk methods of treating endometrial hyperplasia.
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with leeches
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with leeches or hirudotherapy is one of the effective methods that has been known since ancient times. Treatment with leeches is a medicinal method that refers to folk treatment, but is not prohibited by official medicine. The essence of this method is in the medicinal properties of leeches. In the oral cavity of the leech there are small chitinous teeth that bite the skin to a depth of 1.5 mm and suck 5-15 ml of blood. The duration of one session of leech therapy is from 20 to 50 minutes. Due to the bite, after therapy, lymph and capillary blood ooze from the wound. The duration of treatment is from 8 to 12 sessions.
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with leeches consists of three main factors
- Reflex factor – the leech bites the skin at biologically active points, which are a neurovascular tangle. That is, the effect of leech treatment is similar to reflexology.
- Mechanical factor – during the procedure, regional blood flow is unloaded. Lymph flow promotes irritation of the lymph nodes and their production of protective cells – lymphocytes. Due to this, general and local immunity increases. Thus, after 12 courses of hirudotherapy, the lymph in the body is completely renewed.
- Biological factor – the saliva of one leech contains about 150 biologically active substances that have a beneficial effect on the human body.
The medicinal leech has thrombolytic, draining, decongestant, bacteriostatic, reflex, immunostimulating and analgesic properties. Treatment with leeches has advantages over drug treatment and surgery. This is explained by the fact that hirudotherapy has a complex effect on the entire body, correcting the work of all organs and systems. Such treatment is used not only in gynecology, but also in obstetrics and urology. The treatment plan is made by a hirudologist based on the recommendations and conclusion of an andrologist or gynecologist.
Endometrial hyperplasia is one of many diseases that can be treated with leeches. Hirudotherapy can treat adenomyosis, myomas, fibromas, menstrual irregularities, cervical erosions, inflammatory and functional ovarian cysts, bartholinitis, climacteric and premenstrual syndrome, inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs and other pathologies. In case of endometrial hyperplasia, leeches normalize hormonal functions and the immune system. The duration of such treatment depends on the severity of pathological foci and the form of the disease.
Herbal Treatment for Endometrial Hyperplasia
Herbal treatment of endometrial hyperplasia is a folk medicine method. Very often, doctors prescribe women douches with medicinal herbs, tinctures or decoctions. That is, the medicinal properties of herbs are recognized by official medicine. Herbal infusions are used to treat endometrial hyperplasia. You can restore normal functioning of the body with a collection of motherwort, calamus root, nettle leaves and other medicinal plants.
Herbs are used to prepare decoctions and infusions. The duration of such treatment can be from one to three months. Let's look at the most popular and effective recipes for treating endometrial hyperplasia with herbs.

Take the infusion 2-3 times a day, one teaspoon, washed down with water. The duration of such treatment is 90 days, that is, three months.
- Juice and celandine therapy
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia should be comprehensive. This implies the simultaneous use of several medications. So, let's consider juice treatment. First of all, it is worth noting that the duration of such treatment is 4 months. During the first month, you need to drink freshly squeezed carrot and beetroot juice, 50-100 ml per day. Before each meal, you need to take a spoonful of flaxseed oil, washed down with cold water. In addition to juices, twice a month, a woman should douche with celandine infusion. In addition to the juices described above, it is recommended to take an infusion of aloe juice, Cahors wine and flower honey (ingredients are taken in a ratio of 1:2:1 and infused for 14 days in a dark place).
The tincture of Cahors, aloe and honey should be taken during the second month. In the third month, stop douching with celandine. At the beginning of the fourth month, take a week-long break from treatment, and then continue using flaxseed oil.
- Treatment with nettle
Nettle is a medicinal plant that has proven itself in all areas of medicine. To treat endometrial hyperplasia, it is necessary to prepare an alcohol tincture. Pour 200 g of nettle with 500 ml of vodka and leave for two weeks. The resulting infusion is consumed in the morning and before bed, one spoon at a time. This treatment restores the immune system, which helps restore the functional abilities of the uterus.
You can make a medicinal decoction from nettle. To do this, grind the plant thoroughly and pour 250 ml of boiling water over two spoons of nettle. Boil the future decoction in a water bath for 15 minutes, cool, strain and take 5-6 times a day, in small sips.
- Peony and Plantain Therapy
Peony extract is an effective remedy for the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia. The extract is diluted with water 1:2 and taken one teaspoon three times a day. The medicine helps restore hormonal balance and prevents further development of endometrial hyperplasia.
Plantain infusion also has medicinal properties that help in the treatment of women's diseases. Crushed leaves of the plant pour a glass of boiling water and leave until cool. The decoction should be filtered and taken before meals throughout the day.
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with orthilia secunda
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with orthilia secunda is the most successful and popular folk method of treating this pathology. An alcohol infusion or decoction can be prepared from the herb. To prepare an alcohol infusion, the herb must be dried and placed in a dark glass jar. The orthilia secunda is poured with 500 ml of alcohol or vodka and infused for two weeks. In this case, the jar with the infusion must be shaken every day.
Take an alcohol infusion of the orthilia secunda, one teaspoon three times a day, for two weeks. The medicine must be washed down with plenty of water, and the duration of therapy is three months.

Pour 500 ml of boiling water over a spoonful of the herb and let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Drink the resulting decoction an hour before meals. The duration of treatment is three months.
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with homeopathy
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with homeopathy is considered a very effective method that gives good results. But classic homeopathic drugs are not suitable for the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia, since the effectiveness of such treatment will be very low. In order to cure the disease, you need to contact a homeopathic doctor who will select medications based on the individual characteristics of the woman's body. Most often, in homeopathy, such drugs as Genicoheel, Mastometrin, Kalium carbonicum and others are used to treat endometrial hyperplasia.
The peculiarity of homeopathic treatment is that the cause of the disease is eliminated first, which leads to the disappearance of painful symptoms. Homeopathy is effective in the treatment of almost all forms of this pathology. For example, if a woman has polyps, then before prescribing drugs, the body is diagnosed. Homeopaths use electropuncture and the VRT method, that is, the vegetative resonance test. Diagnostic methods give a complete picture of the disorders at the cellular level and the general condition of the body.
Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with homeopathy is a real help for the body to recover. The drugs help the body to start working on its own as it should. Homeopathic remedies restore hormonal balance, due to which the factor that provokes the development of hyperplasia disappears. Women regain a regular menstrual cycle and their general well-being improves. After treatment with homeopathy, the disease does not recur, the drugs do not cause allergic reactions and other side effects. Many patients note the effectiveness of the treatment already in the first month of using homeopathic remedies.
