Treating Endometriosis with Seaweed

Endometriosis, a chronic and debilitating disease affecting women, can be treated with seaweed. Adding a small amount of dried powdered bladder, a common seaweed, to the daily diet effectively lengthened menstrual cycles, reduced the duration of periods, and alleviated pain in women with endometriosis. Seaweed has estrogen-lowering effects, which can help counter the estrogen-dependent nature of endometriosis. While larger studies are needed, seaweed consumption could be a low-cost and harmless potential treatment for endometriosis.
