Are you experiencing crippling menstrual pain, or have you recently been diagnosed with Endometriosis, and want natural treatment? You're not alone, Endometriosis is now the most common hormonal condition which affects 1 in 7 women in Australia.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to chronic pain and inflammation. Treating Endometriosis requires a holistic, whole body approach to effectively reduce pain, improve gut health and support healthy oestrogen.

Understanding Endometriosis to Treat It Better:
- Chronic Inflammation: Endometriosis is often characterised by heightened inflammatory responses caused by immune dysregulation leading to pain, tissue damage, and increased oxidative stress.
- Leaky Gut & Gut Dysbiosis: Emerging research suggests a connection between gut health and endometriosis. Increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and imbalances in gut bacteria can contribute to systemic inflammation and worsen symptoms.
- High Oestrogen Levels: Endometrial lesions contain oestrogen receptors, which are influenced by monthly cyclical oestrogen fluctuations excess oestrogen, or poor oestrogen metabolism, can stimulate the growth of endometrial tissue.
- Impaired liver and gastrointestinal detoxification of oestrogen: the liver and gastrointestinal system and the primary routes of oestrogen clearance, this can be disturbed by dysbiosis as well as impaired liver detoxification pathways.
A Natural Naturopathic Approach to Treating Endometriosis:
- Anti-Inflammatory & Gut Support – Repairing leaky gut, reducing dietary inflammatory triggers and reducing dysbiosis to support immune function and reduce inflammation.
- Hormonal Balance – Regulating oestrogen levels and supporting hormonal clearance through targeted gut and liver support.
- Pain Management – Using natural anti-inflammatory compounds to help reduce menstrual and pelvic pain.
- Detoxification Support – Enhancing liver function to improve oestrogen metabolism and minimise excess oestrogen levels.
- Immune & Stress Regulation – Supporting the immune system and addressing adrenal health to promote overall balance.
- Nutritional & Lifestyle Strategies – Implementing an anti-inflammatory diet, stress reduction techniques, and movement practices to manage symptoms.
