If you look at the meaning of the pathology, the diffuse changes in myometrium, which are often direct evidence of adenomyosis, are a serious pathology with which even traditional medicine can not always handle adequately. So is it really that people's treatment, which, according to many doctors, is significantly inferior in effectiveness to classical methods and medicines, can solve the problem?
It is difficult to say that in the case of endometriosis it is more effective: classical treatment regimens or alternative prescriptions, because in most cases women combine them. Classical hormone therapy always carries the risk of various complications. Still, in fact, it is aimed at causing an artificial menopause. And although doctors say that this phenomenon is reversible, a return to the previous state does not always guarantee recovery and the opportunity to conceive a child, but you can get new health problems not only of the reproductive system.
Women understand this and do their best to reduce the rate of such treatment. And many people refuse from him in favor of alternative means, which are much safer. And would you refuse them in logic if the traditional treatment of diffuse changes in the myometrium still does not give stable results and the disease subsequently recurs.
What are the effective ways of alternative treatment of endometriosis in the bins of alternative healers? Consider several popular recipes that may help to heal some of the patients and, in the end, to experience the joy of motherhood.
Glinotherapy. Perhaps a method of treating diffuse changes in myometrium clay to some women and it seems doubtful, after all it is a thermal procedure, which for this pathology is considered highly undesirable, but many women who get rid of endometriosis say that this method helped them.
True clay is not suitable for treatment. It is believed that the best effect can be achieved using a blue or gray variety of clay, and it is better to buy it in a pharmacy to be sure that the composition does not contain sand and other unwanted impurities.
For one procedure, 500-800 g of clay will be needed. From evening it should be filled with warm water, so that it slightly covers the clay. Overnight, the clay will be saturated with moisture and settle to the bottom.
In the morning, excess liquid is drained and mixed well, so that the mass becomes homogeneous and resembles homemade sour cream in consistency. Now warm the clay on fire, placing it in an enamel saucepan. Some of the liquid evaporates.
Hot clay should be laid on the prepared maple and form a large cake with a thickness of about 2.5 cm so that it covers almost the entire lower abdomen from the navel. With the help of oilcloth, we shift a warm cake to the belly, wrap it on top with a warm cloth and go to bed exactly for 2 hours. During this time the clay will take on itself the disease and all the bad from the woman's body. Hold it for more than 2 hours can not, because the reverse process begins.
After the procedure, the stomach must be washed with warm water and tuned for recovery, which usually comes after setting 6-8 clay compresses. Treatment is carried out daily, 1 treatment per day. But there is an important condition for the effectiveness of this method: for each subsequent procedure you need to take fresh clay, and used, absorbing all the negative, throw out.
Products of beekeeping. To treat endometriosis, honey and propolis can be used. These valuable substances contain antimicrobial components and a sufficient amount of useful substances to restore metabolism in damaged tissues and make them function properly. An important condition for safe treatment is the absence of allergies to the products used.
Honey and propolis is used to make a composition, which is then impregnated with tampons. Tampons are injected deep into the vagina at night. The same composition of 2 tsp. You can take it inside before eating or apply it as a compress to the area of the lower abdomen.
To prepare the medicine, you need 100 g of honey and a piece of propolis weighing about 8-10 g, which must first be finely crumbled. A mixture of honey and propolis is heated in a water bath for a quarter of an hour, after which we filter several times through a pair of layers of gauze. It is recommended to store the finished product in the cold, preheating before use until a warm state.
To enhance the effect in the composition for impregnating tampons, you can add aloe juice (a three-year plant). For 1 tsp. Honey mixture take a little fresh juice of aloe and well soak in the composition prepared from cotton wool and gauze tampon (you can use ready-made pharmacies "Tampax", "Obi", "Cotex", etc.).
Treatment with leeches. Hirudotherapy is considered to be an effective method for treating many diseases, but treatment with endometriosis and other pathologies should be performed by a specialist using special medical (and not marsh) leeches.
Onion treatment. Onions in alternative medicine are used to treat a variety of diseases, from colds to women's diseases. Onions cooked in milk are used to make tampons to treat diffuse changes in the myometrium of a moderate and pronounced stage.
To produce a therapeutic tampon, a small bulb is needed, which is cleaned from dry husks and boiled in milk until soft. Use only the onion, which is cooled and kneaded into small pieces. Lay the composition in gauze, folded in 2 layers, and tied, shaping the tampon. Homemade onion swab should be placed deep in the vagina for 2-3 hours, leaving a "tail" outside for easy removal. Minor burning is not considered an excuse to refuse treatment.
Treatment with beets. Alternative healers from ancient times know that with the help of beet juice can cure such a serious disease as cancer. True, with this, you have to drink 600 ml of juice every day or eat beets kilograms. For the treatment of endometriosis, such victims are not required. It is enough 1-3 times a day before eating to drink no more than half a cup of juice. Treatment of beet juice for a longer time, it will take at least 2 weeks for the disease to recede.
Healing grains. We will not judge the effectiveness of this method of treatment, but try it at least because it does not bring harm, and the benefits to the body will be unambiguous. To treat adenomyosis, hemp or linseed seeds that need to be poured with boiling water, and let them brew. Infusion is drunk three times a day before meals for 2 or more weeks, until the symptoms of the illness go away. Such treatment can be conducted courses several times a year to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Herbal Treatment
Many probably heard about the treatment of hormonal disorders with herbs. Plants that contain substances that are identical in action to the native estrogens produced in the body of a woman can gradually restore the hormonal balance. But there are also such herbs that have a truly curative effect in the case of diffuse changes in the myometrium, caused again by hormonal failures (according to most doctors).
Even gynecologists are positive about such female traumas as the boron uterus and the red brush. They are often advised to resort to alternative treatments for these plants, understanding that hormone therapy is not the best way for a young woman and future successor of the genus.
Boron uterus - a plant that has antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, absorbable and soothing effect on the body. She also has analgesic and immunostimulating effects. It helps to restore uterine tissue and improve the functionality of the woman's reproductive system.
For medicinal purposes, the entire surface part of the plant harvested during the flowering period is used. Raw materials are used for the preparation of medicinal potions:
- Tincture of alcohol. On a glass of vodka you need to take 25 g of dry grass and keep the composition for a month in a cool dry place. Take tincture twice a day for 35 drops, diluting them in 2 tablespoons. Water. The course of treatment is 21 days. You can repeat it in 2 weeks. This prescription is also suitable for the treatment of fibroids or uterine fibroids, often associated with endometriosis.
If a woman against a background of diffuse changes in myometrium has problems with the conception of a child, tincture begins to take immediately after the end of menstruation three times a day in the same dosage. The break between the courses of treatment will be less - only a week. A full course of infertility treatment will take at least 6 months.
- As an option for the treatment of erosion of the cervix, endometriosis, menstrual irregularities, inflammatory and adhesions, fibroids, infertility, a medicinal female collection of 3 herbs can be used: borage uterus, wintergreen and winter salmon. For half a liter of hot water you need to take 9 tablespoons. Mixture of herbs, withstand the composition of 15-20 minutes in a water bath, cool, drain and take 3 times a day for half a century. Drink the infusion before eating.
- Another effective option for the treatment of endometriosis is the combination of two beneficial herbs for women: the hog uterus and the red toothbrush. The second plant has an antimicrobial effect, promotes the purification of the female reproductive system from all unnecessary, normalizes the hormonal background and promotes the restoration of immunity weakened by the chronic pathological process.
In the boron womb we use only a finely chopped ground part, and in a red brush - an underground one, i.e. Root, which must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and crushed with a knife. For 200 g of hot water we take 2 tbsp. Prepared mixture of herbs, we maintain the composition for a quarter of an hour in a water bath, remove from heat and insist for another half an hour. The cooled composition is filtered.
Take infusion of herbs three times a day before eating 2 tablespoons, flavored with natural honey. The course of treatment is 2 weeks. For the treatment of endometriosis, 3-4 such courses are required, the interval between which is 7 days.
But before resorting to treatment with female herbs, one must necessarily study contraindications to their use. And this gastritis and stomach ulcer, obstruction of the fallopian tubes, pregnancy and lactation, individual intolerance.
For the normalization of the menstrual cycle, hormonal background and immunity, removal of inflammation in the uterus, spasmodic pains and nervous tension associated with feelings about the disease and its effect on the childbearing function, one can drink the course of the herbal preparation "Female comfort-1". In its composition we find dry extracts of the following plants:
- angelic chinese (root),
- stemblist vasilistnikovy (root),
- viburnum vulgaris (bark),
- chamelium yellow (root),
- atraktylodes lanceolate (root),
- Chinese (root), Chinese
- ginger medicinal (rhizome),
- lovage medicinal (root).
The drug is available in the form of tablets elongated form, which should be taken 1 piece three times a day for 1.5-2 weeks half an hour before meals.
And such herbs as hemlock and marjin root can be used not only for oral administration, but also for local treatment in the form of douching. For internal reception is intended tincture, which is prepared on the basis of alcohol (half a liter of vodka) and a mixture of herbs (5 tablespoons). Insist the formulation for 14 days in the dark. Take it you need 1 tbsp. Three times a day before meals. Tincture can be washed down with water or diluted in ¼ cup water in advance.
For daily douching, prepare a decoction of herbs (2 tablespoons vegetable material per 1 cup boiling water (boil for 5-10 minutes, insist half an hour) .To take tincture and syringe should not more than 14 days.
Another useful herb for female diseases is calendula (marigold). The flowers of this plant are used for the preparation of medical infusions. And infusion in turn is used for oral administration, impregnation of tampons and syringing. On a glass of boiling water you need to take 2 tablespoons. Flowers of a plant. We insist the composition with the lid closed before cooling down.
To treat endometriosis, you can apply and celandine, which can defeat even a cancerous tumor. But you need to consider that this plant is poisonous, so exceeding the recommended dose is fraught with severe intoxication of the body.
From the ground part of the plant you can prepare an infusion or a decoction, taking a glass of boiling water 1 tbsp. Without a hump of chopped grass. Take this medicine before eating 50 ml three times a day. The course of treatment is not more than 2 weeks.
I must say that folk treatment with the use of medicinal products and herbs gives good results. With light and moderate changes in myometrium and endometrium, it sometimes even avoids hormonal therapy and surgery. It is important to adhere strictly to the treatment regimen and be patient.
In this case, the use of alternative recipes is best done after an accurate diagnosis is established. A good doctor will not resist the use of recipes based on herbs, but on the contrary will give recommendations that will help make herbal treatment even more effective.
Homeopathy
From what point of view, do not begin to consider the creation of the universe, it is difficult to contradict the fact that in it, and in particular on our planet, everything is thought through to the smallest detail. A man is not just given life, but everything is given that could support it. What we do not yet know about the healing properties of the various components of the world around us does not mean that they do not exist at all. And the development of homeopathy, successfully using in the treatment of people even those substances that are considered poisonous, is a direct confirmation of this.
There are not many diseases before which this unconventional science is powerless. Diffuse changes in myometrium and endometriosis do not belong to their category. Homeopaths, without fear, undertake to help a woman overcome the disease without the use of unsafe hormone therapy. But the approach to the treatment of this pathology in homeopathic doctors is different, because in the foreground they have not available symptoms, but the hidden causes of health disorders.
The goal of homeopathic treatment is not temporary concealment of symptoms, as many patients who do not trust this "pseudoscience" think. Homeopaths try to find the root of the problem and treat not the disease itself and its manifestations, but the entire body so that it can regain its strength and cope with the disease on its own.
The sources of pathological changes in the tissues of the urogenital system are found in homeopathy in the human genome. Such diseases as cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, adnexitis, uterine myoma, polokistoz ovaries, endometriosis and some others, according to classical homeopathy arise because of the predisposition to them, laid down in many generations. And the cause of this predisposition is gonorrhea, transferred by someone from distant relatives and leaving its mark in the genetic code, which is transmitted from generation to generation.
This trace is called a gonorrheal miasm, and it is believed that it is due to antibiotic treatment (and in traditional medicine that inflammation is suppressed by powerful drugs) that it moves from organ to organ and when it reaches the pituitary, a hormonal imbalance begins that provokes engorgement of endometrial cells where they do not belong , and their uncontrolled reproduction.
Abundant menstruation and intermenstrual bleeding during diffuse changes in myometrium and other female diseases homeopaths are considered as weak attempts of the body to purify from the gonorrheal miasm. Struggling against such a symptom, we only slow the cure.
In the opinion of homeopathists, on the contrary, one must push the organism to self-purification. Therefore, it is not surprising that the treatment prescribed by them is not easy: pains and bleeding are exacerbated, a productive cough appears, sweating is intensified. And these symptoms are considered normal at the first stages of therapy. Moreover, they say that the medicine is selected correctly. Subsequently, the woman will be sure of this, when the symptoms at one point will recede, the menstrual cycle will be adjusted and the woman will be happy to find on the test the coveted 2 strips.
To normalize the menstrual cycle and reduce the pain of menstruation, a homeopathic preparation of Tsimicifug can be prescribed at various dilutions depending on the severity of the premenstrual syndrome. It is based on the extract of the medicinal plant of the actea racemosis (crowberry high), which is considered a natural phioestrogen. Thus, the homeopathic medicine normalizes the hormonal balance.
But this in the understanding of homeopathy is not enough. It is important for the patient to choose another such restorative drug that will have a health-improving effect on the whole organism, taking into account its characteristics and concomitant diseases. And here already there are no specific schemes. The prescription of the medicine will be strictly individual.
In conventional and specialized pharmacies, you can purchase some supplements that positively influence the hormonal background of a woman and correct hyperplastic processes in the tissues of the organs of the female reproductive system.
To such dietary supplements is "Indinol", which can be used to prevent and treat anenomia, endometriosis, uterine fibroids (as part of complex therapy). Take the drug for 1-2 capsules a day, along with food course at 14-21 days.
The drug is not suitable only for those patients who are intolerant of its components, as well as pregnant women and nursing mothers. Taking antacids significantly reduces the effectiveness of the additive.
Supplements "Epigallat", which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, is able to prevent the penetration of endometrial cells into the myometrium and inhibit the growth of myomatous formations. The drug is used to treat and prevent diseases that develop against the backdrop of diffuse changes in the myometrium and endometrium. Its effectiveness is enhanced by the joint application in dietary supplements "Indinol".
The drug is taken 1-2 capsules twice a day. If you carry out therapy with two drugs at the same time, you need to take 2 capsules of both supplements twice a day. Treatment continues for six months. To prevent the recurrence of the disease, a 3-month course is sufficient.
For women's health and treatment of manifestations of premenstrual syndrome peculiar to endometriosis and other gynecological diseases, homeopaths and traditional medicine doctors can offer a woman to undergo a course of treatment with a complex homeopathic preparation "Mastodinon", which is available in the form of drops and tablets for internal ingestion. This herbal non-hormonal drug, therefore its or his reception does not have consequences, peculiar to hormonal treatment.
The drug should be taken one tablet or 30 drops twice a day. It is better to do it in the morning and in the evening. Drops can be diluted with water, tablets with water are washed down. The course of treatment usually lasts more than 3 months and if there is no improvement during this time, the appointment should be reviewed.
Drops can be taken to all patients who have no hypersensitivity reactions to the drug. Tablets are also not prescribed for women who have hereditary or acquired disorders in glucose metabolism.
Among the side effects noted allergic reactions, including swelling of the throat, headaches, dizziness, malfunctions of the menstrual cycle, digestive disorders.
Deciding on the treatment of adenomyosis and endometriosis with the help of homeopathy, a woman should remember that the treatment is long and difficult. First, she expects a worsening of the condition, caused by exacerbation of the symptoms of the disease, and then the coveted relief. Alas, not all women are willing to accept this, so they often drop out of treatment if the ailment increases, fearing complications.
