AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis comes the from the word endometrium, the tissue lining of the uterus. It refers to the abnormal growth of uterine tissue outside of the uterus, often in the abdominal cavity. These growths may be adhered to various abdominal organs.
The signs of endometriosis are lower abdominal discomfort, heavy menstruation and pain during intercourse. Endometriosis can cause infertility. The endometrium lining will be thick. Laparoscopy is used for diagnosis, and usually reveals "chocolate cysts", blood-filled cysts that appear black or dark brown.
During menstruation, these growths begin to bleed, but the blood has nowhere to go and forms a chocolate cyst. The results is internal bleeding, inflammation, and scarring.
Hysterectomy is the only definitive cure, although often the condition is managed by suppression of estrogen through various forms of hormone therapy.
Endometriosis is associated with estrogen dominance in Pitta-Vata individuals with pungency. Comparing the reports from the Joyful Belly database on estrogen dominant disorders we get:
- Endometriosis - Typically Pitta-Vata individuals with high pungency and low toxicity
- Uterine Fibroids - Typically Kapha individuals with average toxicity & blood stasis
Origins & Introduction
Endometriosis is more common in high society, among professionals. Incidence is 5 times higher in America (5%) than Europe (1%).
Endometriosis occurs during the Pitta time of life (16-50 yrs old). Retrograde Apana Vayu pushes blood up the fallopian tube, where prostaglandins stimulate growth or uterine tissues outside the uterus. The cause of retrograde blood flow may be due to a blocked cervix.
Nearly all women have some retrograde blood flow, though not all women develop the disorder. No one knows the cause of endometriosis, although various theories have suggested estrogen sensitivity, auto-immune components, or that the disease was present at birth. Incidence is higher among those who are childless or otherwise prevent pregnancy with birth control pill. Women who drink alcohol have a 50% higher risk of developing endometriosis. Pregnancy reduces symptoms.
Endometriosis, Ayurvedically, is an example of vimarga gamanam of artava or rakta. Ama levels are generally low. A Pitta pacifying diet and supporting the liver is generally recommended. Correct posture, belly breathing, and relaxation of tension in the pelvic cavity can reduce retrograde apana vayu.
Lekhana herbs may be suggested to reduce growths. Herbs should be given to restore the normal menstrual cycle, balance hormones, and help fertility. Common therapies also include herbal douches (uttara basti).
Disclaimer: 'Endometriosis' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4
ENDOMETRIOSIS IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4 -
TISSUE DISEASEIf you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease.
Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions.
You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category.
It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first.
This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease.
Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body.
This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence.
Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.

Symptoms Tell A Story
The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms.
Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances.
Symptoms show you where your body is weakened.
Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself.
Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics.
If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms,
it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
