Supporting Endometriosis Naturally

Updated: Apr 3

Endometriosis is a complex and often misunderstood condition that affects around 1 in 10 women—but for many, getting a diagnosis takes years. It’s more than “just a painful period.” Endometriosis can affect your whole life—physically, emotionally, and hormonally.


If you're navigating endometriosis, you’ve likely been through a long journey of pain, confusion, and frustration. But there is support available. A holistic, naturopathic approach can play a powerful role in managing symptoms, reducing inflammation, and supporting your quality of life.

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the womb (endometrial-like tissue) grows outside of the uterus—on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, bladder, or other areas. This tissue still responds to hormonal signals during your cycle, which can lead to pain, inflammation, and scarring.


It’s an inflammatory, oestrogen-sensitive, and immune-related condition—so support needs to be multi-layered, not just focused on hormones.


Common Symptoms of Endometriosis

  • Severe menstrual cramps or pelvic pain (often not relieved by standard painkillers)

  • Pain during or after sex

  • Heavy or irregular bleeding

  • Pain with bowel movements or urination (especially during your period)

  • Bloating or digestive issues (sometimes mistaken for IBS)

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Infertility or difficulty conceiving

  • Mood swings or anxiety (often linked to inflammation and hormone imbalance)

  • Pain in the lower back or legs


Symptoms can fluctuate with your cycle and often worsen over time if not addressed.


What Causes Endometriosis?

The exact cause of endometriosis is still not fully understood, but contributing factors may include:

  • Oestrogen dominance – too much oestrogen or poor clearance

  • Inflammation – chronic low-grade inflammation can worsen symptoms

  • Immune dysfunction – the body may not effectively clear misplaced tissue

  • Gut health imbalances – including leaky gut, microbiome dysbiosis, and food sensitivities

  • Liver detoxification issues – which impact oestrogen metabolism

  • Genetic predisposition – family history can increase risk


While surgery may be necessary in some cases, many women benefit greatly from targeted diet and lifestyle strategies to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and relieve symptoms.



How Naturopathic Nutrition Can Support Endometriosis

Here’s how a root-cause, whole-body approach can help support you:

  • Balance Hormones - Reducing excess oestrogen and supporting progesterone naturally can reduce flare-ups.

  • Reduce Inflammation - A high-inflammatory state can worsen pain and progression. An anti-inflammatory diet is key:

  • Support Gut Health - Many women with endometriosis also experience gut symptoms.

  • Nervous System & Pain Management

  • Targeted Supplements


Functional Testing Options

Sometimes testing can help us better understand your individual picture. Depending on your symptoms and goals, we may explore:

  • DUTCH hormone testing – for oestrogen/progesterone balance, androgens, cortisol

  • Stool testing – to explore gut microbiome, inflammation, and immune markers

  • Food intolerance testing – to uncover dietary triggers

  • Nutrient panels – to assess deficiencies contributing to pain, fatigue or hormone imbalance

  • Nutrigenomic testing – to assess genetic variants affecting detoxification and inflammation


Testing helps us create a more tailored support plan—but it’s never essential to get started.
