Top 6 things to help with an endometriosis flare-up.
Top 6 things to help with an endometriosis flare-up.
After years of suffering from endometriosis flare-ups, trying different things. I have found the top 6 things to help with an endometriosis flare-up, which are my favorite! One of the things I have learned during my journey as an Endometriosis Coach is that I need to find ways to relax during a flare-up. Relaxing during an endo flareup is definitely a challenge.
Below are a couple of the things I use to help relax during an Endometriosis Flare-up.
- Heating Pad. This is top of the must-haves for me. I am that woman who has the heated seats on in her truck 365 days a year. For me, a heating pad is like a hug. I always make sure to have a large one to wrap around my lower back. During a flare-up, you can find me relaxing with a heating pad and my favorite blanket.
- Warm Bath. I usually will switch between using Epsom salt and Earthley Detox Bath.
- TENS Machine. My Livia TENS unit is portable so it’s great for using if I need to go out.
- Herbal Remedies. I love my herbal tincture. I have ones that are used daily and others when needed. Two of my favorites during a flare-up are Pain Potion and Ease the Ache.
- Rest. I know this one seems easy. However, for most of us, life gets in the way. We have responsibilities like careers, families, relationships, school, etc… Resting at times can seem like a chore in itself. I remind myself that it is ok to have a rest day, it is ok to allow myself the time to rest & heal. Most people struggle with the “doing nothing” or “lazy” feeling of a rest day. Remember you are doing something very important…. listening to your body.
