 Very Interesting
Vitamin E is often helpful in preventing and reducing cysts, as it provides hormonal balance. The gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) available in evening primrose oil is highly recommended for building anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. They can also be found in cod or halibut liver oil, flax seed oil, olive oil, black currant oil or oil of borage. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is also helpful in combating inflammation. Bioflavonoids are plant substances that exist naturally with vitamin C and protect estrogens. They prevent estrogens from being broken down too rapidly, thereby increasing overall estrogen activity. They are abundantly available in citrus fruits, garlic, onions, peppers, cherries, berries, grape seed, currants and many other foods. In supplement form, look for rutin, hesperidin, catechin, quercetin, grape seed extract or pycnogenol. To support the health of the ovarian lining, vitamin A or beta-carotene is useful.
Herbal Remedies
Natural progesterone cream should be applied topically from the fourteenth to twenty-eighth day of the menstrual cycle. Apply 1/4-1/2 tsp. on hips and thighs to help regulate hormone levels.
Dong quai, licorice, black cohosh, chaste berry, damiana, raspberry, sage, ginseng, fennel and gotu kola regulate estrogen. Take as teas, tinctures or capsules, as directed on the bottle.
