How to prevent another bartholin's gland cyst from forming

Here's the topic I posted a couple of weeks ago - I finally was able to resolve these cysts internally using a combination of homeopathy and other things. You might have an iodine deficiency... as I think I do... In any case, here's what I wrote:

For all the women suffering with these – I have so much compassion for you! I’m 37 and I’ve had them six times in the past six years, and I feel desperate and devastated every time.

This last time I finally, finally managed to do something that worked and let me avoid the hospital. I basically gathered ALL the resources I could and did everything all at once so I’m not sure which of these things, or which combination of things, is what did it – but in any case the cyst resolved – as in was reabsorbed WITHOUT BURSTING – within four days, and I’m so, so grateful.

*a note that it’s really important to consult with a registered Naturopath or Homeopath to consider your specific situation.

But meanwhile this may help some of you.

Here’s what I did – I’ll list things in what I think is the order of most importance:

1. homeopathic protocol including:

- one dose of homeopathic calcarea fluorica 30 ch (for continued treatment, one dose a week)

- the cell salt version of calcarea fluorica 6x three times a day

- liquid iodine, Trophic brand, beginning with 10 drops the first day, 12 drops the second, 14 the third (continue with 14 drops / day)

------------ this might be enough for some people, but I had to add:

- Unda numbers 1, 20, and 243 (for help with lymph drainage): take 5 drops of #1, wait a minute, take 5 drops of #20, wait a minute, take 5 drops of #243, wait a minute – and repeat 3x/day

----- DO ALL THIS FOR THREE MONTHS -----

2. clay packs

- I used dry pure green clay (you can get it in health food stores in the cosmetic section, just make sure it doesn’t have anything added to it) and mixed it with enough water to make a paste. Mix the clay and leave it for at least an hour before using – it will keep indefinitely so no need to worry about mixing too much or leaving it (way) longer than an hour

- use a thin strip of cotton, place a pile of clay in the middle – enough to cover the whole cyst area, about 1cm deep

- place the clay directly against the cyst

- cover the cotton with a strip of wool

- put underwear overtop

----- CHANGE THE CLAY PACK EVERY HOUR OR EVERY TWO HOURS DURING THE DAY, OK TO LEAVE IT ON LONGER AT NIGHT

3. 1 dose of homeopathic Pulsatilla 200ch (for pain)

4. Chinese herbs

- I was taking a herbal formula (tea) prescribed by a TCM practitioner for cleansing the liver and strengthening the kidneys (again, it’s important to be diagnosed in person by a TCM doctor to get the right combination of herbs for you)

5. Avoiding alcohol, sugars, dairy, gluten, other things you think you might be sensitive to

6. sitz baths with salt (not epsom, sea salt), and tea tree and lavender essential oils

* of all these things, the homeopathic protocol was by far the most important, so you could just try that. Or the clay packs.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
