For years my daughter suffered from painful periods with symptoms such as bloating, water retention, upset stomach and very tetchy moods. Her periods were irregular and she found it very embarrassing on the odd occasion that she was caught out by the appearance of her period. After a recent visit to her doctor she was diagnosed with a cyst on both of her ovaries and came home with a prescription for some medication that was supposed to shrink the cysts and assist with pain relief. After reading some of the possible side effects she decided not to take the medicine and began some intensive research into a natural cure for ovarian cysts that would work with her body.
No one knows the real reason for ovarian cysts but they are thought to be caused by a hormonal imbalance. The trouble with conventional treatments are that they only work as a temporary relief from any current symptoms and do not work at preventing the formation of cysts. Natural remedies, on the other hand, work with the body and get to the root of the problem by naturally correcting hormonal balances within the body and flushing out any toxics that may be doing some harm.
My daughter found that many women recommended making changes to their diets including lots of vegetables and vegetable juice, no red meat but plenty of chicken and fish, and lots of water with some lemon juice and a hint of baking soda and absolutely no fast food, pizzas, soda or coffee. But what excited her most was the discovery of a beets and molasses drink that can be made at home and which a lot of women say they are having success with as a cure for ovarian cysts. Anyway she tried the drink and the veggie diet and when we last chatted she said she was on the second day of her period without having to take a single painkiller, no bloating and no upset stomach. Also she was only having mild cramps such as one would expect, and was drinking herbal teas for comfort and pain relief.
The beet and molasses drink is easy to make. All you need to do is in a bowl mash one or two slices of either fresh or canned beets with a fork, then pour about a tablespoon of aloe vera on top of that, finally add about a tablespoon of molasses on to that. This can then be eaten as is, or if you prefer, it can be put into a blender and drunk from a small shot glass. For best results the drink needs to be taken first thing in the morning before eating. As with any natural cure, do not expect results over night but take the drink regularly for at least a couple of months and, if you have the same experience as my daughter, you should start feeling a whole lot better in a relatively short period of time.
This is just one little known secret cure for ovarian cysts but there are many other natural remedies that are easy for a woman to do at home and it really does seem to be a case of try it and see. What works for some women may not work for others, but the key is getting to the root of the problem and working from within your body to get a result that works for you.
