The key to getting rid of an ovarian cyst is to equalize your hormones and diminish factors that contribute to your cyst. Too much exposure to estrogen and xenoestrogen (estrogen imitators) can disrupt ovulation and lead to the formation of cysts.

Avoid:

Processed soy products e.g. soy protein isolate, imitation meat 

They contain compounds that mimic estrogen, creating a hormonal imbalance.

Heating foods in plastic or storing hot foods in plastic

There are xenoestrogen chemicals in this material that get released into your food when heated. Use glass containers instead.

Plastic water bottles

For the same reasons you’d avoid plastic containers.

Parabens in skin care products

They are found in many healthy foods at low levels. Your metabolic system makes them less strongly estrogenic, but applying parabens directly on your skin allows the body to absorb parabens while skipping the metabolic process.

Try to:

Eat only organic meats and dairy:

To avoid additives in these products that can raise estrogen levels and promote the growth of cysts.

Use natural detergents:

Many laundry detergents contain xenoestrogen chemicals that can seep into your skin while you’re wearing your clothes.

Use herbal remedies:

These herbs can support a proper menstrual cycle, reduce ovarian pain, increase circulation to the reproductive organs and support healthy liver function, which helps us eliminate toxins and excess hormones.

For information on specific dosing, speak to a herbalist or Naturopath who can find the right amount for you.
