Endometriosis: The Effects of Chinese herb Bupleurum(revised edition with references)

By Kyle J. Norton  Health article writer and researcher; Over 10.000 articles and research papers have been written and published on line, including world wide health, ezine articles, article base, healthblogs, selfgrowth, best before it's news, the karate GB daily, etc,.

Some articles have been used as references in medical research, such as international journal Pharma and Bio science, ISSN 0975-6299.

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood, instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Bupleurum, a medicinal root found in East Asia,  is a plant belonging to the umbelliferae family used in Chinese medicine for treatments of infections with fever, hemorrhoids, and indigestion, etc.

The Effects
1. Liver Protective effect(1)
Bupleurum has been used in Chinese medicine to cleanse the liver(2) caused by accumulation of environmental toxins which helps to improve the protein and fat metabolism thereby helping to regulate the levels of estrogen(3) that cause menstrual pain(4).

2. Improved digestive system(5)
It is also said to improve the digestive absorption of vital vitamins and minerals by strengthening the microorganisms in the digestive tract. This is essential for women with endometriosis, because some have been found to have low levels of vital vitamins and minerals leading to menstrual disorder.

3. Nervous system(6) and hormone balancing(4)
Bupleurum is not a tonic medicine, but when used together with other herbs it increases the medicine's effectiveness. The combination of buplerrum and peony helps in treating hormonal imbalance that cause menstrual cramps and abdominal pains, premenstrual syndrome(8), and strengthens the nervous system thus reducing symptoms of endometriosis such as anxiety, depression, etc(4).

4. Abdominal pain
Since it helps to increase the metabolism of protein and fatty acid, it helps to balance the production of prostaglandins hormones that control the uterine muscles. As we know, over-production of certain members of protagslandins hormones are the main cause of abdominal pain(8).

5. Anti inflammatory effects
Bupleurum stimulates the liver function in reducing inflammation(9) caused by endometriosis implants and adhesion.

Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Lactuca virosas, also known as wild lettuce, bitter lettuce, and opium Lettuce has been used as a sedative and a pain killer medicine in traditional medicine in treating premenstrual syndrome and other chronic pains.

The effects
1. Nervous system(1)
Lactuca virosa contains lactucopicrin which helps to calm the overactive brain cells that cause nervous tension for women with endometriosis during menstrual cycle such as insomnia, tiredness, irritation, and depression(1). It also helps the muscle to relax, including the uterine muscles resulting in reducing the symptoms of menstrual cramps(1).

2. Immune system
The antioxidant properties in lactuca virosas helps to strengthen the white blood cells in the bloodstream in fighting against the invasion of bacteria, virus, and inflammation caused by endometrial implants and adhesion(2).

3. Circulatory system
Lactuca virosas also contains high levels of flavones which helps to protect the capillary walls from broken off and enhances the circulation of blood in the body including blood flow to the abdomen leading to lessening the period flow, and menstrual cramps(1). It also contains coumarin, a substance with a bitter taste and has a property of thinning the blood which helps to increase the blood flow(3)(4) and transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells resulting in strengthening the function of the circulatory system.

Since lactuca virosa is mildly toxic herb. Overdoses may cause liver and kidney damage. If you liver diseases, please consult with your doctor before applying lactuca virosas.

Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.
Corydalis ambigua has been used in Chinese medicine as a pain reliever and sedative medicine in treating menstrual pain and symptoms in menstrual cycle for women with or without endometriosis.

1. Sedative
Since corydalis ambigua is highly sedative(1), it helps to reduce period pain(2)(3) as well as tension of nervous system(1) that reduces symptoms of endometriosis during menstrual cycle such as sleeplessness, tiredness, irritation, and anxiety(4).

2. Emmenagogue
Corydalis ambigua is also an emmenagogue herb which helps to release the qi in the abdomen caused by blood stagnation(5) thus it stimulates the blood flow to the pelvic area and uterus that helps to relieve menstrual cramps(2)(3) for women with endometriosis.

3. Blood tonic
Corydalis ambigua is said to strengthen the overall health in the body including the circulatory system(5) which helps to increase the transportation and nutrients to the body cells, thereby improving the information transmitting between cells(4) and reduce the risk of abnormal cell division(6)causing endometriosis.

 4. Antispasmodic
Cordalis ambigue is said to increase the blood flow(5) to abdominal region caused by blood stagnation thus it helps to relieve muscle spasm(2)(3)  resulting in lessening the menstrual pain during the menstrual cycle for women with endometriosis.
