Herbal medicine and Endometriosis 🌿 Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Some of the symptoms include dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, pain, and infertility. Epigenetics, altered hormones (particularly oestrogen, oestradiol), inflammation, fatigue, and immune dysregulation (including autoimmunity) have been implicated in the progression of endometriosis. There is also the development of scarring and adhesions. All of these negatively impact on quality of life. 🌿 Herbal medicines have a long history of use for women’s health, due to their hormonal, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulatory properties. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 80% of the world’s population use traditional medicine for their primary health care needs, with a focus on herbal medicine. 🌿 This article, published in the ATMS Journal, discusses the potential use of herbal medicines in the management of endometriosis, including: - Cat’s claw, Chaste tree, Cramp bark, Dong quai,Feverfew, Ginger, Green tea, Japanese knotweed, Kudzu, Licorice, St John’s wort, Turmeric, Valerian 🌿 The use of herbal medicine in the management of endometriosis focuses on the actions of the herbs and their effect on the body. Herbal medicines that possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-angiogenic, anti-depressant, anxiolytic, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and hormone regulating properties have the potential to positively impact endometriosis. Further research and clinical trials are required to determine the full effect and potential of herbal medicines on endometriosis. 💫 I have the pleasure and privilege of being a coauthor on this paper with Georgia Hartmann @georgiahartmann_naturopathy .
