How to get rid of small Bartholingland cyst - #25416

In Ayurveda, Bartholin gland cysts relate to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha and accumulation of ama (toxins) due to sluggish Agni (digestive fire). Managing this condition naturally involves addressing these imbalances and promoting overall prakriti (constitution) and dhatus (tissues) health.

First, prioritize dietary changes. Emphasize warm, light, and easily digestible foods to stimulate agni. Foods like moong dal, barley, and cooked vegetables are beneficial. Avoid heavy, oily, or excessively sweet foods that increase kapha and ama, such as dairy products, refined sugars, and processed foods. Drink warm water or herbal teas like ginger and turmeric to aid digestion and flush out ama.

Incorporate regular lifestyle habits to balance kapha. Moderate daily exercise such as brisk walking or yoga can help stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, essential for reducing cysts. Practicing deep breathing and meditation can manage stress, which may further help in maintaining dosha balance.

Local application can be beneficial as well. Try applying a warm compress to the affected area to encourage drainage and comfort. A turmeric paste, made by mixing turmeric powder with warm water or coconut oil, can be applied externally due to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Do this 1-2 times daily, leaving the paste on for about 20 minutes before gently washing off.

Triphala powder can be used internally as it supports digestive health and detoxification. Take half a teaspoon with warm water before bed. This aims to regulate your gut health, consequently helping your body’s natural detox pathways.

Herbs like Guggulu, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, may be used with caution and under expert guidance to aid in detoxifying the system and supporting tissue health.

Hydration is crucial, so consume adequate water daily to aid the elimination of toxins. Additionally, consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to explore deeper personalized treatments, such as panchakarma therapy, can be helpful. Medical intervention might be necessary if the condition persists, recurs frequently or becomes more severe. Ensure to visit a healthcare provider if the cyst causes discomfort or signs of infection occur, like redness or fever.

Hello Mariya,

In Ayurveda, bartholin’s cyst can be correlated to -Yoni granthi(vaginal cystic swelling) or Yoni kanda(growth in vaginal area) -rooted in Kapha dosha accumulation, often combined with pitta, especially if inflammation or discharge is present. - srotorodha(blockage of bodily channels) leads to fluid accumulation ans swelling - emotional factors like repressed emotions , sexual dissatisfaction or stress can also be aggravating factors

PATHOGENESIS -Kapha dosha aggravation-> sticky, heavy, qualities block the ducts of the bartholins gland. -pitta dosha aggravation-> leads to inflammation, discharge and heat -the blocked gland collects mucus and fluid-> leads to cyst formation -over time, if untreated, it can become chronic and hard
