How to stop endometriosis growing back

Recurrence is common, even after surgery.

A naturopathic strategy to address how to stop endometriosis growing back includes:

• Long term anti-inflammatory nutrition
• Ongoing hormone regulation
• Detoxification support
• Reducing xenoestrogen exposure
• Mineral rebalancing
• Stress reduction

Reducing toxic burden is key. Endocrine disrupting chemicals can influence oestrogen signalling. Supporting liver detox pathways and ensuring adequate minerals such as zinc, magnesium and selenium strengthens resilience.

Endometriosis natural progesterone

Progesterone plays a regulatory role in balancing oestrogen effects.

From a naturopathic perspective we support natural progesterone production by:

• Supporting ovulation
• Reducing stress load
• Correcting mineral imbalances
• Supporting thyroid function

Herbs such as Vitex agnus castus can support luteal phase function and increase progesterone levels naturally (Van Die et al 2013). Vitamin C and E raise progesterone (by 53% and 67% respectively. Henmi et  al 2003; Takasaki 2009). B6 is also important for progesterone production and estrogen modulation. Progesterone support must always be individualised, and it is safer to start with naturally increasing progesterone levels rather than taking synthetic progestins.

What is the best supplement for endometriosis?

There is no single best supplement for endometriosis. What works depends on the individual and their biochemistry.

Commonly used supplements (and a couple of herbs) may include:

• Omega 3 fatty acids
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• Selenium
• B6
• N acetyl cysteine
• Curcumin
• Ginger
• Chaste Berry (Vitex agnus castus)
• Chinese Peony

This all depends on individual testing and presentation.

Precision is more powerful than quantity.

How I Use HTMA in Endometriosis Support

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis provides insight into long term mineral patterns and potential heavy metal burden.

Minerals are critical for:

• Detoxification pathways
• Hormone metabolism
• Nervous system regulation
• Thyroid and adrenal balance
• Inflammatory control

HTMA allows us to:

• Identify mineral deficiencies and excesses
• Assess stress patterns
• Detect heavy metal trends
• Create a structured mineral rebuilding protocol

Rather than guessing, we rebuild strategically. When mineral balance improves, detox pathways function more efficiently and resilience increases.
