Ovarian Cyst Remedies

Dear Resh,

It seems that Blackstrap Molasses is helpful for many with cysts. For me, it is something I would want to try.

You might also want to try charcoal poultices over the ovary with the cyst at night. Here is a link to a story about a woman who use charcoal therapy for a cyst and endometriosis. Castor oil packs may also be a good option. I have used both for many things and always find them helpful. (Castor oil packs should not be used during menses, however.)

(The story is about half way down the page of the link above.)

If you decide to try castor oil or charcoal, I can share some more links with more information about how to use them.

Hi Nic, Try the castor oil, it's for all body cysts. Warm it, apply to the cyst. Put a piece of cotton cloth full of oil also, then cover with plastic, then put a hot pad on it for one and half hour. Then u can wipe and sleep. Do it 3 to 4 times a week and see what will happen, it will shrink more and more day by day. I cured myself of many kinds of cysts with castor oil, one of them was ovarian cyst (4cm) after one week it disappeared , hope this will help, mollases is good also I drink one teaspoon daily.

Hi Helen, can you please tell me, did you put the oil on your lower abdomen on ovary area with heat as you did with the cysts on your skin? How often did you do it?
Thanks

Hi Sheree , yes I put the castor oil on the abdomin area on the ovary then put a cotton thin cloth then cover with plastic then the heat pad for one hour and a half three to four times a week before you sleep then remove the oil from your skin with tissues then wipe with water and sodium bicarbonate it will remove the oil. It's the cure for Cysts.

Hello, I had a dermoid cyst 4 cm for 6 months. It wasn't growing but my gyn wanted it out because it can twist and cause you mega pain and dermoid cysts CAN become cancerous. ( although really rare). I was terrified about surgery!! SO I tried everything for 3 months. I followed the mary parker project for 3 months lost lots of weight I actually shouldn't have lost and had absolutely no energy.

Then someone told me about the beet/ aloe/ molasses remedy and castor oil packs. I used these for 3 months non stop. Beet drink from beets in the garden, and I slept each night with a warm castor pack. I also took tons of milk thistle, vitamins and vitex and vitamine E - all that everyone recommended. I felt my energy rising really quickly. I also drank only 1tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glas ( 350 ml) of lukewarm water 3 times a day. I had tons of energy and felt like I could take the world with Gods help. I also used a terminator 11 from Don croft for 2 weeks straight. I thought all this would certainly shrink the cyst so surgery was not necessary.

Unfortunately after 3 months of this, the cyst was still the same size. I had surgery last week they left my tubes etc intact and I was back on my feet the next day feeling 100 % thanks to the good condition I was in before the surgery. No nausea, no pain, back at home in 1 day caring for kids and hubby. Now after 10 days, I have the energy for 10.. It didn't help to get rid of the cyst, but I got all my energy and positiveness back. The cyst is gone, but I am keeping to the diet just because I feel so great. Surgery was so easy, don't worry about it, it is not hardly as bad as you imagine. But make sure you are in good shape before the surgery. Hope this helps you with your fight against cysts.

I think I would do the same as you. I would also avoid ALL cow milk, avoid all gluten foods, and all refined sugar products. Take milk thistle, to help your liver and kidneys, and vitex would probably do wonders for you. Check up on Vitex for you. It takes a while to get result on this, I had a really terrible heavy period 7 days per 27 days and it is now after 4 months very light, 3 days per 28 days. I am 39. I had surgery for dermoid cyst last week. I tried it all too, but I had no success, but I was in great condition because of all this and was feeling great 1 day after surgery. Good luck Tina

I suggest a complete reboot to your system. Eat tuna or salmon.. Every day for a hundred days.. This will replace every molecule with the 72 essential elements.

Good lord. If you eat tuna every day for 100 days, you'll probably end up with mercury toxicity. There are high levels of mercury in many large ocean-going fishes, and tuna is one of them. It might "re-boot your system" but in a bad, bad way.

Thanks so much for the advice. I started to ACV and drop of iodine everyday. Now, I am starting to break out only after a week! My skin has been clear until this point. Any suggestions?

The mercury thing is well overdone.. Have a look at... Truehealth. Org.... If your not convinced I'll eat my hat.

In august, I got a pelvic exam and was told that there was about a 5cm cyst on my ovary. I immediately started employing some natural methods, when I returned the next month, I was told that it was down to about 3.5cm, but still there, nonetheless. Then by ultrasound, I was told it was an endometrioma (or chocolate cyst) on my right ovary (which is more serious than just a functional cyst, which it was they first thought). When I researched it, the only real treatments I saw or read about were bleek, --surgery was the main option. That worried me tremendously. And I haven't had children yet, so I got even more worried, so I was faced with an awesome opportunity, not an obstacle.

So this is what I did and I wanted to share it with people. I don't know if it was a combo of all the things I did or just one thing.... In no particular order, although #1, was the very first thing I did and I did the juice fast within a week of learning about the cyst....

1. Always believed I could heal myself

2. Visualizing the cyst shrinking (over and over and over)-for weeks

3. Didn't listen to fearful stories. I avoided them or immediately discarded them. 4. Writing & journaling about my feelings, especially those concerning my reproductive organs, fears, concerns, worries, and relationship woes

5. Forgave people that I needed to forgive

6. Asked my guides, healers, angels and archangels to help me heal myself and guide me on how to do that & meditated on healing

7. Asked my body what it needed from me (& listened)--sometimes it would say exercise, sometimes sleep, sometimes it would be- 'eat blueberries'

8. Honored my feelings (released anger and frustration appropriately, practiced acceptance also)

9. Asked the cyst to kindly leave my body--thanked it for its presence first

10. Prayers of others (friends)

11. Rubbed castor oil on me and put heating pad over my abdomen

12. Biomat

13. Infrared sauna

14. Ear acupressure

15. High impact exercise (5-6/days per week)

16. Chinese moxibustion stick

17. Night/dream healing from a close friend

18. Icy-hot patches for pain

19. Healing crystal directly over skin

20. Acupuncture with scannar and laser

21. Ginger oil on the skin over my abdomen

22. A 7 day juice fast

23. Black strap molasses (in beet juice or almond milk) (p. S. When mixed with almond or soy milk, it is DELICIOUS! )

24. Increased my intake of raw foods

25. Decreased dairy intake

26. Decreased sugary & processed foods

27. Apple cider vinegar and water drinks

28. apple cider vinegar douches (1-2x/month)

29. honey & cinnamon drinks

30. Increase in using tumeric

31. Took milk thistle

32. Increased intake of ginseng

In december, I got a follow up pelvic exam and ultrasound to confirm that the cyst was GONE! For anyone reading this, if any of this resonates with you, then employ some of these therapies. If they don't resonate with you, then discard them and do whatever feels right for you. You body will tell you.

Hi my name is Pilar and I just loved what you wrote, I have the same problem , a 5.5 cms ovarian cyst, I'd like to contact you if is possible is about the list of what you did, for example did you practice the moxibustion daily, weekly or monthly? what about the ear acupressure? that was done by a specialist, or by you learning where the acupressure points of the body are? I read that you were healed in about 5 months, if you fasted for 7 days, what was your average diet the remaining time? I will go on a raw diet, maybe a 70% and 30% wholesome cooked food, do you think this is ok or I should just stick in the raw food? how is the ginger oil applied? sorry they are so many questions, but I was very impressed with your method, I firmly beleive that one can cure oneself, in the power of faith and prayer, have a blessed week!! I will thank you forever for your help :)

To Beky from Highland Park:

Your response resonated so much with me. I had a fluid-filled ovarian cyst last fall and healed it completely with nutritional/emotional/herbal therapies like the ones you described. However, I've just been diagnosed with a 12cm dermoid (solid) cyst- do you think nutritional/herbal remedies would be enough to heal it? Most of the literature out there says surgery is the only option for a solid cyst. That almost makes sense to me since a fluid-filled cyst could just eventually deflate/drain whereas a solid one has nowhere to go... They are suggesting I get surgery within the month, and "not to wait"- so I don't know if it's foolish or effective to spend a few months focusing on remedies such as yours. What do you think?

Here's the real deal, been reading comments about ACV and others. Here's what will work though some of the comments are good but the molasses is still a sugar very much better than white and better for diabetics, Sugar is our main cause of a lot of problems and our life style and everything we eat/buy in the store has it or fructose in it we're Sugar Junkies. Sugar, caffeine, Vit C citris should all be avoided while doing the following to get rid of cysts. You need to take 6 drops potassium iodine SSKI in water with teaspoon ACV or 1 drop of 5-2% Lugols Iodine both found on-line or at drug stores. Supplement with Vitamin E, Selenium to control the interaction on T3-T4 and your thyroid, the selenium will help metabolize estrone& I6 Alpha to good estrogen and take Dong Quai, chinese herb that will help regulate estrogen and take as long as you can find it take Natural Progesterone pills/tablets. The iodine will need to be monitored by your Dr for your thyroid level if you continue longer than 30 days. Start slowly to make sure you are not iodine sensitive. As with the old Iodine on cuts and in water to kill bateria the Iodine will work on any one of the three types of cysts that get infected by menstral bleeding and cause pain and growth. These have worked for 90% of those and more that have tried this.

May God Bless. I hope to have e-books on this and other cures (some of which have worked on me and saved /prolonged my life) soon and possibly on kindle if I can find the time to complete writing and publish to my web pages and others.

Just a month ago I was diagnosed with 5.5cm ovarian cyst and 6 small fibroids. Doctor prescribed me birth control pills and said that most likely I will need a surgery in few months. I already had one surgery 9 years ago and I was on birth control pills long time after that. However, we want to have a baby now. I decided enough is enough; I don't want to have surgeries every 5-10 years and I wont drink birth control pills.

I found this website and it really inspired me. I could not believe that people can treat such problems themselves. Immediately I went to store and bought some beets, carrots, aloe and molasses. I squeezed fresh juice, added some apple to improve the taste. I put a big jar of juice in a fridge and it was enough for a whole week. Every morning and afternoon I made a mix of juice, aloe vera, molasses and apple cider. No precise measurements, only as much as I could drink. Since I also had fibroids, I bought vitex, milk thistle and yellow dock tinctures and I mixed in the juice. I found them on this website: http://www.uterine-fibroids.org/herbal-treatments.html

Also, I was drinking herbal teas couple times a day, usually few different at a time (dandelion, milk thistle, nettle, red clover.. ). In addition I bought moringa and maca powder, I added some kelp powder, that is good for thyroid ( I don't recommend it for cysts). That was extremely nasty and I made myself to drink just couple times. Moringa and maca are bitter, kelp made everything taste like a green swamp.

I put castor oil packs almost every night.

I tried to eat less dairy and meat, but actually it was more difficult than I thought.

One really good book I would recommend is "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" by Christiane, Northrup. It talks a lot about emotional side of healing in addition to physical healing. I cried reading this book. I let go some emotions. I think every woman has to find out for herself, what the problem was that the cyst appeared.

I don't know is this a coincidence, or it really worked. I went to a different doctor today and he saw only 1.5cm follicle cyst, that he said is nothing to worry about, because I am about to ovulate. He said that could be two possible fibroids, but they are really small. I don't know if it worked, or was it a mistake by one of the doctors. Also, I had a two months of vacation, after stressful job with extreme overtime and had time to relax and ate tons of rasberries, from my parents garden, that are good for women. I still cannot believe myself that a large cyst is gone.

I feel compelled to post on this site as a way to say thank you to all that have shared what has worked for them. I have not come on this site in some time but found myself with a 2. 9cm hemorraghic cyst. I had all the symptoms of bloating, fullness, pain on side etc. I was very worried because I also want to start to TTC soon and having a cyst can complicate things. I started eating just a bit healthier, cutting down on sugar and junk food and just eating more green veggies, I'm also on prenatal vits. I read on here about the castor oil packs and decided to try it because I figured it couldn't hurt things. I made a simple pack by soaking a couple of cotton washcloths in castor oil and putting a heating pad over it. I left it on for about an hour or so. The next day I felt a bit better but not completely gone. I tried it again and left the heating pad for a longer amount but not more than 3 hours. Well the NEXT day I felt a slight burning sensation in my abdomen/stomach area and the symptoms slowly all went away, thank God!

I don't exactly know if it was the diet, vits, castor oil packs or the heat but I just know I feel all better now, and back to normal. My gyn says she was not worried about the cyst because they are normal and they come and go, and that might have been the case with this one too but I really think that the castor oil with heat is what truly made the biggest difference. I have read that one way of knowing that these types of cysts have actually dissolved is by the burning in the stomach which I definitely felt. My hopes in posting this is to help anyone that is looking for alternate ways to eliminate cysts.

Crystals are a good idea! What kind? white clear quartz?

I have wild Red Raspberrys down the street, you put it in vodka and make a tincture?

Or eat the leaves wild?

I can't find beets, not near stores, am using raw beet organic powder.

How does the apple cider vinegar play in? Drink it in water separately? I usually drink this stuff anyway, I do drink WAY too much coffee. I have a squishy bump, was freaking out and couldn't sleep. Going to try the beets, aloe vera and molasses. Do you need the molasses or aloe vera though? I don't have a lot of extra money, it's the beet itself that will try to shrink the cyst?

I think it is worry, stress and coffee.

I also don't think these will burst and you will die! I think they are common, an online article said 3 or 4 women get them. I am not trying to get pregnant, I just found a squishy bump yesterday. I am 90% raw, and 100% vegan.

I just drink craploads of coffee every morning, unhappy with my job and addicted to coffee.

My period lasts 2 days only, every month, since I'm raw it's almost gone.

I'm going to stop drinking from plastic containers too, the hormones and BPA maybe cause all this. That has been my goal for a while but it's hard sometimes. Glass water is $$

Ginger and tumeric is supposed to be good or kill cancer cells? I don't even know if cysts are cancer. probably are.

I had a friend with ovarian cysts. She took iodoral for a couple of months. When she returned to her doc for a checkup he said they were almost completely gone.

Dear Mehnaaz, So good to hear from you! I suppose I am biased as a mother to many and a growing number of grandbabies...but I think it would be worth it to try! I do know several women who have had long gaps between children with no ill effect on anyone. You are still yet young for having another baby and it sounds like your GYN is giving you the go ahead to try! Risks- there are every day risks in all of life and babies have been worth every one for me. We are blessed to live in a time with much better care for complications of pregnancy than in times past. My older children have always responded very well to having a little baby in the house. My grown children are all quite amazing with little children, in part due to having siblings much younger than they. (My oldest child was 17 when his youngest brother was born.) I was 44 when that baby was born and had no complications. I wish you well - please keep us posted!

Love, ~Mama to Many~

Scroll down and read Margaret from NJ's post. Maybe her dosage will work for you also..

dear inanna, may I know

1) where you buy the herbs in pill form.

2) what is the strength (dosage)

3) brand

hope you can help me. love kim

Update to my October 21 feedback about SSKI for ovarian cyst pain. 3 weeks on SSKI (3 tablets a day) and my ovarian cyst was gone by the end of my last period. No pain, no tenderness. Yea yea!! I plan to take it every day with a 1-2 day break here and there. I may switch to 1 drop of lugol's iodine later on and see if that has the same preventative effect.

What is the product you used (SSKI) because I am hoping to find something to cure my ovarian cyst and i am willing to try this?

Hi Migurl09,

I can't name the brand per this site's policy, but I can tell you I bought mine at iherb (online store). Bottle says Potassium Iodide, 32.5 mg, 120 Tablets. I have bought other supplements from this same company at Whole Foods and think there are pretty good. Oh, I see another liquid potassium iodide on iherb from another company. Well I think that as long as you buy sski from a reputable vitamin company it will work fine.

Let me know if it cures your ovarian cyst!

I've been having pain in my lower right abdomen for the last month. Due to current health insurance status, I can't make any Dr. Appointments until next year. But a friend of mine is a general prac and she said it sounded like a cyst or fibroid. I came to to this site to find ways to alleviate the pain until I could get an ultrasound done to verify that it is a cyst. I wasn't sure what SSKI was, so I ended up getting a bottle of Bernard Jensen's brand liqui-dulse at the farmer's market. The suggested dosage is 4 drops per day, which equates to 225mcg of iodine. I've been mixing it with my water/apple cider vinegar drink for the last 4 days, and the pain is practically gone. I only get a twinge once or twice. I am shocked at how fast this seems to have worked. I'm going to continue drinking this, and if the pains subsides completely, may not ever get that ultrasound.

I'm 2 mnths pregnant & diagnosed of ovarian cyst about 11cmx 9cm, I'm 39 yrs old. My doctor told me that I have to undergo surgery if my baby is fully developed. I hope anyone out there could give the good tips to avoid such surgery. Raw beet roots, raw carrots, a leaf of aloe vera can help. What is a castor oil, where we can find for it. Thanks need your help

mirasol. Plz dnt use castor oil bcz u r pregnant. Doc dnt allow castor oil pad in pregnancy and mensturation. better b careful.

I went out today and purchased the ACV from an organic food store and I also purchased the moringa pills as well. I will keep you guys posted and let you know the outcome.

I've been taking the Potassium Iodide for a little less than 2 months now, and it doesn't seem to have done much in terms of shrinking the cyst. Maybe I haven't been taking enough. (2 tablets of 32.5 mg each at the most, and then using iodine/iodine tablets or liquid iodine occasionally)

I think I lost 10 lbs because of the Potassium Iodide. It seems to work a lot like the Molasses-- it took away the pain almost completely. The first month, I felt that it had a detoxing effect, but then I lowered the dosage because I didn't want to hurt myself with too much iodine.

I remember reading one site that mentioned that the iodine may need 2 to 6 months to work. That seems to be a long time. I wish I enjoyed eating beets more, but it's really hard to stand the taste.

Healing and health to everyone! Don't give up.

I have only been doing iodine 6 days and I can already feel a difference. My cyst have shrank steady dramatically and pain has significantly decreased. I feel better already even my right cyst ovary pain and shrinkage. Thank you so much! I'm going to keep doing it for the 6 weeks recommended.

How much iodine did you take, April? I have a very large cyst (over 20 cm), but have tried taking drops of iodine, and so far I can only tolerate taking one drop every other day due to the back pain it seems to cause me. Thanks.

I wish you all the best; please stay diligent with both doctors and alternative treatments! Especially beware of potential conflicts (cysts can be cancerous; cancer feeds on iron; molasses is iron rich).

ATTN ALL WOMEN: Please consider (and share) my recent experience with Ovarian Cancer, for all our/our sisters/daughters sakes: I became very sick (up & down) over a decade ago (despite great health/diet/lifestyle/athleticism; then hundreds of doctor visits; meanwhile trying most "every thing under the sun" to recover, including most all the remedies here at EC)! Eventually I was (mis?)diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensativities, arthritis, etc. (and a plethora of other ailments, unusual symptoms, etc).

Fortunately, many/most of my ailments/symptoms abated after a recent radical hysterectomy, because the culprit was actually OVARIAN CANCER (OC); (found accidentally when I was preparing for a "liver gallbladder cleanse" and palpating my naval area/lower waist, and found several large rock-hard lumps, [assumed by my PCP & GYN to probably be simple fibroids; but NOT! ]).

Unknowingly, I also had ALL the precursors of OC (but not one doctor, specialist, OBGYN, or urologist, had connected-the-dots):

1) I still had my regular period/menses at age 57.

2)I had started my menses very young (9/10 years old)

3) I had never had children or used chemical birth control

4) I had suddenly become quite overweight & bloated looking in the past 2 years (despite a VERY healthy lifestyle/diet; albeit had become too ill to do much 'exercise' beyond necessities of daily living).

5)I had increasing urinary leaks/watery discharge diagnosed as "stress incontinence" (drips & surges during coughs/sneezes etc).

NOTE: Most women with OC never experience any symptoms of "illness", thus OC is called "The Silent Killer" (a deadly ailment now quite prevalent among many middle aged women)!

MY GOOD NEWS: Within months of surgery (removal of all female organs, plus some) many of my symptoms abated: much illness & pains are gone; all my body hair started growing back, as did my nails! All my skin marks/scars changed from dark purple/black to light pink, & are fading still! My skin is moist, not dry/flaking/reactive. I am no longer "freezing to death"in Hawaii/Florida; my BP is almost back to normal; my joints/muscles no longer hurt 24/7; night sweats are less troubling (hot flashes are still here, but no nearly as bad/often); and many other notable improvements.

Because of my previous great health, my hard work, strong faith in God, and dilligence, determination, and die-hard commitment to find & utilize super nutrition & alternative treatments, I chose not to do chemo as a prophylactic. My doctor was not happy about this; however he now praises me for my decision since I have repeatedly tested cancer free thus far (via blood & tissue tests, and abdominal washings).

So, please ladies, go to a Womens Center (specialists in womens issues) for your annual GYN checks if possible, esp if you have these "common denominators" or are having 'unusual' problems! Otherwise, be sure to plead with your OBGYN to watch for HIDDEN female/ovarian problems (which often are assumed to be thyroid problems or simply 'hormone' issues).

Good Luck & Best wishes to You/Yours!
