Table of ContentsAre you prone to a problem with 'Endometriosis'? Find your imbalances and create a diet for your Reproductive System by taking the free reproductive health quiz: AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON ENDOMETRIOSISEndometriosis comes the from the word endometrium, the tissue lining of the uterus. It refers to the abnormal growth of uterine tissue outside of the uterus, often in the abdominal cavity. These growths may be adhered to various abdominal organs.The signs of endometriosis are lower abdominal discomfort, heavy menstruation and pain during intercourse. Endometriosis can cause infertility. The endometrium lining will be thick. Laparoscopy is used for diagnosis, and usually reveals "chocolate cysts", blood-filled cysts that appear black or dark brown. During menstruation, these growths begin to bleed, but the blood has nowhere to go and forms a chocolate cyst. The results is internal bleeding, inflammation, and scarring. Hysterectomy is the only definitive cure, although often the condition is managed by suppression of estrogen through various forms of hormone therapy. Endometriosis is associated with estrogen dominance in Pitta-Vata individuals with pungency. Comparing the statistics from the Joyful Belly database on estrogen dominant disorders we get:
Origins & IntroductionEndometriosis is more common in high society, among professionals. Incidence is 5 times higher in America (5%) than Europe (1%).Endometriosis occurs during the Pitta time of life (16-50 yrs old). Retrograde Apana Vayu pushes blood up the fallopian tube, where prostaglandins stimulate growth or uterine tissues outside the uterus. The cause of retrograde blood flow may be due to a blocked cervix. Nearly all women have some retrograde blood flow, though not all women develop the disorder. No one knows the cause of endometriosis, although various theories have suggested estrogen sensitivity, auto-immune components, or that the disease was present at birth. Incidence is higher among those who are childless or otherwise prevent pregnancy with birth control pill. Women who drink alcohol have a 50% higher risk of developing endometriosis. Pregnancy reduces symptoms. Endometriosis, Ayurvedically, is an example of vimarga gamanam of artava or rakta. Ama levels are generally low. A Pitta pacifying diet and supporting the liver is generally recommended. Correct posture, belly breathing, and relaxation of tension in the pelvic cavity can reduce retrograde apana vayu. Lekhana herbs may be suggested to reduce growths. Herbs should be given to restore the normal menstrual cycle, balance hormones, and help fertility. Common therapies also include herbal douches (uttara basti). Disclaimer: 'Endometriosis' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
GET STARTED
To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.5 WAYS TO HEAL YOUR BODY

About the Author
John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.
John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
