Endometriosis in Ayurveda
Endometriosis management is still evolving in modern medicine.
Diagnosis is mostly by invasive, expensive procedure. Pain management and operative excisions are generally adopted approaches in managing symptoms.
-
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.
-
Natural treatments may be explored by those with laparoscopically diagnosed endometriosis or those experiencing symptoms.
All that is necessary is your belief in alternate medicine.
-
Endo treatment aims to:
1.Halt the spread
2. Reduce pain & other symptoms
3. Restore normal cycle
4. Endeavor to eliminate root-cause; where directly related to doshic imbalance*.
5. Help rejuvenate tissue for fertility (where possible)
*Prima facie root cause for endo is regarded as doshic imbalance, however there may be other causes at the subtle levels.
-
It varies with your unique endo journey.
Endometriosis, being stubborn condition, may need more patience and perseverance.
A typical duration for a treatment plan will range between 4-6 weeks. Herbal protocol will typically continue for 3 months.
As a rule of thumb, the complete treatment protocol will have to be followed at least for 3 months for the results^ to appear. However, duration of treatment may vary from person to person.
Herbs for 3 months of treatment are included as part of treatment plan.
-
Treatment plan starts with initial consultation.
Based on outcome of consultation, the practitioner will advise a sequence of Marma therapies and Nabhi Puran treatments.
In some patients with high degree of toxins (ama) accumulation, a detox program and couple of healing treatments are recommended to facilitate opening of healing channels.
-
Treatment plan varies from person to person; some may require 1-2 treatments, some more.
A typical treatment plan is as below.

Some endo symptoms managed include
Pelvic pain
The main symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain and may be often linked with menstrual periods. Endometriosis related pain is often described menstrual pain that's far worse than usual cramping. The pain also may become worse over time.
Ayurveda views pain as real but rejects the notion that its a new normal.
In addition to pain relief treatments, Rasayana (rejuvenation) treatment protocol is follwoed in some cases to strengthen the pain tolerence.
Painful periods,
excessive bleeding
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. The menstrual issues can be managed using traditional herbs, nutrition, lifestyle recommendations and Marma therapy where necessary.
Read how Marma Therapy is useful in treating such problems here.
Infertility
For some people, endometriosis is first found during tests for infertility treatment.
Fertility and infertility are directly related to seventh tissue and the treatments aim at improving the quality of that tissue with herbs and dietary changes.
The body needs to be cleansed of toxins prior to treatment, which is done by many bodywork therapies for body & mind and then therapies like Perineal steaming can be used.
Pain during
natural acts and urges
Pain during intercourse is common symptom. Ayurveda may offer some options to alleviate such pain.
Pain may be experienced during bowel movements and urination. Some herbs may be incorporated as part of treatment plan if you are experiencing these issues or bloating/constipation/diarrhea.
