Summary
see also Menstrual
Problems
Endometrial tissue in the tissue that lines the inside of
the uterus. With the health concern endometriosis this
same type of tissue is found outside of the uterus. This is
most commonly near the uterus on the ovaries, fallopian
tubes, outer surface of the uterus, ligaments that support
the uterus, and other surfaces of the abdominal cavity. Very
rarely it may be found in other parts of the body.
This endometrial tissue outside the uterus responds to
the menstrual cycle in some ways like the tissue within the
uterus including thickening and bleeding. This process
then leads to problems of discomfort and pain with each
menstrual cycle.

Essential oils based

Also consider:
cypress, eucalyptus, geranium
Suggested protocols:
Dr. David K. Hill in his presentation on Hormonal Balance gives
this important observation, "Frankincense should also be
considered for disorders of the uterus such as fibroid
cysts, etc. Use it to reduce existing abnormalities or
consider it to prevent their formation. Frankincense will
also balance the endocrine system. Use it by placing 2 or 3
drops under the tongue every night and every morning."
Pain and Cramps - here are two protocols
folks have found successful:
- Take 8 -12 drops of
sandalwood internally in a capsule at the outset. On
the second day take 6 - 8 drops of sandalwood in a capsule.
- Apply 2 - 4 drops
each of cypress and rosemary topically to the abdomen.
Use a warm compress on abdomen after applying oils.
Experiences and Testimonials of others
Pam - A 16 year old
relative has very painful menstrual cramps. We think that
she may have ovarian cysts and/or endometriosis. Anything
that may help her?
Lisa – I know personally someone that
has used FM Assist and
it helped a lot. Someone may have to play with the dose to
find the exact match for their situation. Also the
MJ Assist is a formula
for pain that may also help. If you search the Internet for
PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) you will find a lot of
information this imbalance and that it may be linked to
blood sugar abnormalities. My acquaintance has to limit her
carbohydrates, which seems to help with less ovarian cysts,
which cause the pain.
Tara - I have PCOS and under my doctor's
care I take a prescription medication. With this
medication I still had bad cramps and I started using the MJ
Assist. This has helped me a lot but the results did
not come instantly. I take 2 every 4 hours for my joyful 2-3
days of pain and I drink a lot of water. Soon I hope to add
the LLW and experience
the added help this may bring.
Pam - My 16 year
old niece has crazy painful menstrual cramps. We think that
she may have ovarian cysts and/or endometriosis. It runs in
her family. Should I just recommend clary sage? Is there
anything else I could be recommending? Should I just have
her apply the clary sage to her lower abdomen using some
carrier oil?
Lisa - I think the primary help for that
is FM Assist. I have used it with my daughter and it
worked. You may have to play with the dose to find the
exact match. Also the MJ Assist is for pain that may also
work. If you search the internet for PCOS (polycystic
ovarian syndrome) you will find a lot of information where
they are finding this imbalance may be linked to blood sugar
abnormalities. It’s worth a try. Our daughter has to watch
her carbohydrates, which seems to help with less ovarian
cysts, which cause the pain.
Tara - I have PCOS and my doctor has put
me on a low dosage of Metformin. I found out a lot about how
my body should be working from reading about it. I still
have bad cramps but the MJ Assist has helped me a lot but
you can't just take one and expect results instantly. I have
taken 2 every 4 hours for my joyful 2-3 days of pain and
drink a lot of water.
