Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy: Natural progesterone can reverse endometriosis by helping to restore proper hormone balance, without side effects, says Dr. Lee. Natural progesterone can stop the spread of endometrial cells by blocking the activity of estrogen that otherwise stimulates the growth of the aberrant cells. Dr. Lee suggests using natural progesterone cream from days six to 26 of the monthly cycle, stopping just before menstruation begins. After four to six months of this treatment, the monthly pains and bleeding due to endometriosis will usually subside. Dr. Lee prefers transdermal (absorbed through the skin) natural progesterone in cream or oil formulation, because it is absorbed more efficiently and the effect lasts longer, without the emotional highs and lows from oral drops. A woman addressing endometriosis will probably need to use 1⁄8 to 1⁄2 teaspoon of cream per day or three to ten drops of oil per day, says Dr. Lee. The cream may be applied to the palms, face, neck, upper chest, breasts, inside of the arms, or behind the knees.
