Ovarian cysts pose a major problem for a lot of women and consequently a visit to the doctor to discuss ovarian cyst removal is becoming fairly routine. Cysts are thought to be caused by an imbalance of hormones often coupled with a resistance to insulin. The majority of cysts will go away without any treatment but there are others that can grow and cause a lot of pain. Despite the huge numbers of women suffering from the effect of an ovarian cyst, conventional medicine has not advanced, and women are still being given birth control pills and sent home to “sit and wait”. Unfortunately this process too often ends with a relatively small cyst having grown to the size of a small grapefruit, with the only option being its removal by surgery.
Unfortunately for women, conventional medicine simply serves to mask the symptoms of an ovarian cyst and its effects are only temporary. The shocking truth is that surgery alone can only remove any cysts that are present on the ovaries, but cannot prevent them from coming back. The good news is that a change in diet can effectively start to shrink a cyst and prevent it from coming back plus there are many natural treatments and remedies that a woman can do at home to relieve pain and regulate her hormones and menstrual cycle.
One of the best natural ways of ovarian cyst removal is to change to an alkaline diet since cysts do not flourish in alkaline situations. But what is an alkaline diet? Basically it is a diet that emphasizes fresh fruit, vegetables, roots and tubers, nuts and legumes. Centuries ago our ancestors would have lived on a very different diet from what most of us eat today. It would have consisted of very little processed food and plenty of plant based foods. With the growth of agriculture new foods were introduced into the Western diet such as grains, livestock, milk and dairy products. Also sugar and salt intake increased dramatically. These foods when digested, all release acid into the blood whereas our ancestors' diet of fruit and vegetables released alkaline. Our blood is slightly alkaline with a pH level between 7.35 and 7.45 and the theory with an alkaline diet is that it should be used to try and maintain this level. Not only will an alkaline diet help your cysts but you will lose some weight a feel a whole lot healthier too.
This is just one lifestyle change that can be effected in the war against ovarian cysts but there are many other issues that can contribute to the formation of ovarian cysts, such as stress and lack of exercise.
So many women are led to believe that medication and surgery are their only options when treating their ovarian cysts, but trust me when I tell you that there are many natural treatments and lifestyle changes that can help with ovarian cyst removal and prevent cysts from coming back.
