🌿Why I Started Healing My Endometriosis Naturally

I Was Tired of Feeling Dismissed
After years of painful, heavy periods, bloating, nausea, mood swings, and even pain when I wasn’t on my period, I finally got diagnosed with endometriosis. But that diagnosis didn’t come with support — it came with ultimatums.
My turning point came during my last two doctor visits. I shared that I might eventually want to try for another baby, and asked if they’d consider another excision surgery. Instead, I was met with the same cold list of options I’d heard before: birth control, a drug to put my body into temporary menopause, or a full hysterectomy — at 30 years old.
Even though I declined them all, she knew I was frustrated. I was referred to a specialist, hoping that maybe this time I’d be heard. But the same thing happened again. Another appointment, another list of dead-end options. I left that office feeling disappointed, unheard, and honestly — like I didn’t matter. No one seemed to care about the pain I was in.
So I Took My Healing Into My Own Hands
That was when I decided I couldn’t keep doing this the way they wanted me to. I started researching everything I could about natural ways to support endometriosis — things that addressed why I felt this way, not just ways to mask it.
So far, I’ve explored anti-inflammatory foods, supplements, daily meditation, and one of my favorite healing tools: castor oil therapy. I use a pelvic castor oil pack like this one and apply organic castor oil 3–5 times a week to support circulation and reduce inflammation naturally.
Some days I still struggle, but I can already feel a shift — not just physically, but emotionally too. I’m calmer. I feel more in control. I don’t feel like I’m waiting around for a doctor to “fix” me anymore.
This Isn’t Just About Symptoms — It’s About Taking My Power Back
Western medicine gave me quick options, but they all felt like dead ends. No one was asking what was actually causing my inflammation. No one wanted to talk about hormones, gut health, or quality of life. I felt like they wanted to treat me like a chart instead of a human.
So now I’m creating space for myself — and for anyone else walking this road — to learn, explore, and heal. Naturally. Gently. At our own pace.
To Anyone in the Same Place I Was...
You’re not alone. It doesn’t have to be this way forever. There are other options, other tools, and other women who truly understand what you’re going through. Don’t rush into the first prescription they offer. Take a breath. Ask questions. Do your own research. And most importantly — trust your gut.
