Endometriosis

Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that normally lines a woman's uterus begins to migrate and grow in other areas within the abdomen while still behaving like uterine tissue. That means that other internal organs may have an island of tissue that swells and sheds blood every month. Since that foreign tissue is not supposed to be there, and your organs don't know how to handle its strange behavior, you may begin to feel a lot of pain.

To help relieve the pain and balance the hormones are the treatment goals.

This is accomplished by strengthening the liver, reducing pain from cramps, normalizing hormones, reducing abnormal bleeding, dissolving adhesions, and by tonifying the reproductive organs.

The Chinese herbal treatment, when combined with acupuncture, can regulate endometriosis.
