The Natural Treatment of Ovarian Cysts - Eating the Right Foods

Thousands of women suffer agonising pains leading up to and during their menstrual cycle and in many cases this can be attributed to ovarian cysts.
A lot of cysts dissolve away naturally but it is the ones that continue to grow that cause symptoms such as swelling in the abdomen, heavy bleeding and nausea.
Traditionally treatment has been by medication or, in the worse case scenario surgery, and even then, the cysts often return.
Well the good news is that natural treatment of ovarian cysts can and does work by shrinking the fluid filled sacs and preventing them from returning.
The food we eat determines the ph levels of our blood and research shows that an acidic blood stream creates an atmosphere inside our bodies that cancers and other diseases can thrive in, whereas a blood stream that is more alkaline provides a much healthier refuge.
So it is important to cut back on the amount of sugar and processed foods that we consume, so as not to create an atmosphere that is conducive for ovarian cysts to form.
So the low down is that by eating less sugar we are less likely to suffer unhealthy insulin levels which can trigger the growth of ovarian cysts and at the same time we may well lose some weight, which isn't normally a bad thing.
Naturally it can be difficult to change your diet overnight but make a real effort to implement healthy changes to your regular meals.
I am not suggesting that you become a vegetarian, but it is important to cut down on your meat intake and eat more fish and also to fill your plate with lots of healthy vegetables.
Other foods that are vital to creating a good alkaline level are garlic, grains and most fresh fruit.
It is also a good idea to cut back on your caffeine intake which can make you nervy and edgy, preventing sleep and take leisurely sips of a herbal tea, such as camomile or mint, which help soothe and calm any inflammation.
So many women are led to believe that medication or surgery are the only options, but believe me when I tell you that natural treatment of ovarian cysts can and does work.
