Natural endometriosis treatment

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that can have devastating consequences on overall health. During endometriosis, the lining of the womb starts to grow in other areas in the reproductive system, causing a lot of pain, menstrual irregularities, and in many cases, infertility. Traditionally hormonal therapies, painkillers, and antidepressants are prescribed to help alleviate symptoms, but recently plant-based endometriosis treatments are proving promising, and popular amongst patients.

A word from our specialist

"Many conditions that lead to chronic pain often respond poorly to conventional pharmaceutical medications. More and more is being understood about how the endocannabinoid system interacts with the more well known pain pathways to work synergistically with these conventional medications. Chronic pain comes with a variety of associated symptoms such as poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog and reduced appetite – all of which treatment with medical cannabis can improve."
Dr David Tang

Clinic Director

Can natural treatments benefit endometriosis symptoms?

Yes. When applied appropriately, natural endometriosis treatments have shown to alleviate a wide range of both physical and mental symptoms associated with the condition, but, due to years of prohibition and stigmatisation, there are a lack of reputable clinical trials that establish how alternative plant-based treatments affect endometriosis directly.

However, evidence does show that certain plant-based products interact with our bodies endocannabinoid systems, which gives it the ability to modify the messages it typically sends. For patients with endometriosis, natural, alternative treatments can target a range of symptoms, such as reducing the sensation of pain, or boosting the production of serotonin to benefit mood. 

The specialist doctors that work at Releaf are authorised to recommend endometriosis plant-based products to patients who have been unsuccessful in managing their symptoms and condition using traditional, licensed options.
