Endometriosis in Ayurveda

Endometriosis management is evolving in modern medicine. The cause is unknown and cure is not yet in sight. Diagnosis confirmation is mostly by invasive procedure. Managing symptoms and operative interventions are generally adopted approaches.

Ayurveda views Endometriosis as increase in systemic Kapha dosha in Rasa and Rakta dhatus (i.e. plasma and blood tissues)

The treatment protocol is first to understand which dosha is pushing the Kapha in endometrium. Then manage the condition by herbal formulas that treat causative doshas, burn the cellular ama (toxins), cleanse the Rasavaha srotas (channels) and heal the reproductive tissue.

Some bodywork treatments are also advised on case-to-case basis.

Endo treatment aims to:

  • Halt the spread

  • Reduce pain & other symptoms

  • Restore normal cycle

  • Endeavor to eliminate root-cause; where directly related to doshic imbalance*.

  • Rejuvenate tissue for fertility (where required)

Endometriosis, being stubborn condition, may need more patience and perseverance. As a rule of thumb, the complete treatment protocol (scroll below) will have to be followed atleast for 3 months for the results to be seen.

However, duration of treatment may vary from person to person.

*Prima facie root cause for endo is regarded as doshic imbalance, however there may be other causes at the subtle levels.

Fertility, infertility
Reproductive health

In Ayurveda, great emphasis is placed upon ‘health of parents’ before pregnancy; especially detoxification of mother’s body prior to conception. Mother’s physical and mental health before and during pregnancy will determine actual birthing process and will influence body and mind of the child.

Preparing for conception:

  • Basic focus of therapies like Abhyanga is to strengthen and nourish the whole body, with care given at each tissue level.

  • Therapies like Shirodhara and Nabhi Puran help calm the mind, improve the receptivity and open the healing channels of the body.

  • Kati-vasti for women’s health help improve the Agni of reproductive organs while women’s health Marma therapy can help unblock the channels.

  • Therapies like Perineal steaming can be used to further aid the conception process as necessary.

  • The willingness for reproduction (crudely termed as libido) can be enhanced by working on Kamanadi - the energy channel linked with reproductive organs. This is performed as as add-on to any of above Ayurveda therapy.

  • Lack of fertility, to some extent, is related to some deficiency in all tissues. Fertility and infertility are also directly related to Shukra and Artava, seventh tissue and the treatments aim at improving the quality of that tissue with Herbs from Aphrodiasic category like Gokshura are chosen to nourish reproductive organs; aphrodisiacs under Ayurveda are not sexual stimulants.

  • Detoxification of body is performed and tissue are strengthened through a combination of herbs and dietary recommendations. This was Ayurveda makes sure that all systems in body and mind are performing optimally at the time of conception.

related health issues

Acknowledging its importance, Ayurveda identifies menstruation as a separate bodily channel- Artava vaha srota.

In ancient literature there are many recommendations about female reproductive health.

By conducting pulse diagnosis as the first step, menstrual problems like Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Amenorrhea, PMS and other reproductive organ conditions are managed using traditional herbs, nutrition, lifestyle recommendations and Marma therapy where necessary.

Ayurveda views CFS as form of Dhatu-dushti (ailments of one or more of 7 tissues) caused due to dosha imbalances. The treatments identify which dosha is more prominent in causing CFS, affecting which dhatu and treat accordingly using herbal remedies. bodywork treatments, dietary recommendations and emotional therapies.

Rasayana (rejuvenation) treatment protocol is also follwoed in some cases to strengthen the tissues.

These are the times when your body needs your assistance, in absence of which the symptoms become troublesome.

Depending upon the symptoms experienced, the treatment plan is developed comprising primarily of herbal formulations to alleviate the symptoms, by bringing body back in balance.

Depression,
Mood Swings

Depression is more common in women than men for a range of reasons, mainly as they care for others, sometimes at the cost of their own health and wellbeing.

Certain types of depression are unique to women. Pregnancy, the postpartum period, perimenopause, and the menstrual cycle are all associated with dramatic physical and hormonal changes. Certain types of depression can occur at different stages of a woman’s life.
