Green Tea for Ovarian Cysts
Lauren (Detroit, MI) on 08/01/2021:
I have an ovarian cyst that gets better when I drink green tea; it also helps greatly with cramps and other period issues. I only drink loose leaf green tea, and I make it by using one tablespoon in 1 1/2 cups water, at a hot but not boiling temperature, and steep for five minutes. It makes a strong cup, so you might want to steep it for a shorter period of time. I make at least two cups a day initially, but you can reduce it when your symptoms subside.

Worked Temporarily
I've been struggling with an ovarian cyst that an ultra sound found on my left ovary. I started drinking green tea for a month and the cyst shrunk significantly, I couldn't feel it anymore. However, I stopped drinking the tea and the cyst is back. I also noticed a little cyst on my right breast near my arm, it is painful to the touch so I think its just a swollen node. I've also noticed some swollen lymph nodes under my chin. I'm exercising regularly and loosing some weight, but not too much. I've come to the conclusion that I'm detoxing too fast and my lymph nodes are getting overwhelmed. I've also learned that I have an iodine deficiency that is causing an under-active thyroid, which is causing a hormonal imbalance and slowing my weigh loss. There in lies the reason why my cysts keep coming back and are hindering my success in becoming pregnant. I've been searching for alternative treatments and it looks like I will be taking some sea kelp pills to get the iodine I need to help my thyroid and get the hormones back in balance. I will also be adding the Apple Cider Vinegar 2 teaspoons with 8oz glass of water 3 times a day. I've already ordered some PH testing strips to test my alkalinity and some Apple Cider Vinegar with mother from Amazon. I'll post my results in a couple of months.
