The root cause approach for treating endometriosis using naturopathy is about calming the immune system and supporting the hormonal imbalance in the body - in which every body is unique in their ‘underlying drivers’.
Relying on laparoscopies alone to ‘treat’ endometriosis is like resetting the fire alarm without putting out the fire—the real problem still burns beneath the surface.
Endometriosis is a complex condition, and each person will have their unique set of underlying drivers, and a unique set of symptoms. I have discussed endo more in depth in my blog post, including various drivers commonly seen in clinic - click here.
Naturopathy considers the whole body, diet, environment and lifestyle when addressing underlying drivers of Endometriosis.
With endometriosis, there can be an estrogen dominance issue and an immune dysfunction that creates an incredible amount of inflammation in the body, leading to pain, heavy & painful periods, gastrointestinal changes, mood changes, chronic fatigue, brain fog, headaches/migraines.. the list can be exhausting.
The naturopathic aim is to find the root cause of estrogen dominance and immune dysfunction.
We do this by:
having in depth consultations to go through symptoms of the whole body, the diet, previous health history, family history and the environment
using functional hormone testing to investigate hormone levels
using functional testing to investigate causes of immune dysfunction - common issues include gut microbiome issues (consider this if you have severe bloating and change of bowel habits!), stress and nervous system dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins..
So if you struggling to manage your endometriosis symptoms with conventional medicine, you’re not alone. Consider an alternative approach with natural medicine, which can be used in combination with your allopathic treatment.
Natural medicine looks for long term solutions for optimal wellness instead of bandaid treatments.
