🌿 Understanding Cysts & Herbal Approaches to Support the Body Naturally
Learn what cysts are, where they commonly appear, and how herbal medicine may support the body’s natural ability to manage lumps, swellings, and immune resilience.
🔬 What Are Cysts?
Cysts are abnormal sac-like swellings filled with fluid that the body cannot drain easily. They can occur in various parts of the body and may cause discomfort depending on their size and location.
Common Types of Cysts:
-
Breast Cysts: Often harmless and more common in women over 40.
-
Ovarian Cysts: May become large, affecting digestion and circulation. PCOS may require targeted herbal treatment.
-
Skin Cysts: Visible swellings on or under the skin.
-
Internal Cysts: Found via scans (ultrasound, X-ray), and may be asymptomatic or disruptive.
🌱 Herbal Medicine & Cyst Support
Herbal medicine offers targeted support for cystic conditions, focusing on:
-
Immune modulation to help the body reabsorb cystic tissue
-
Anti-inflammatory herbs to reduce swelling and discomfort
-
Lymphatic stimulants to promote drainage and detoxification
Conditions like styes, skin lumps, or internal cysts may benefit from carefully selected herbs that support hormone balance, tissue repair, and circulation.
