How to Treat Cervical Dysplasia Naturally
Cervical dysplasia is a precancerous growth of abnormal cells on the cervix, which usually occurs in women aged 25 to 35. Because untreated cervical dysplasia can lead to cancer in certain severe cases, it's important to treat the cervical dysplasia early and follow up with a doctor every three to six months. In some cases, natural treatment for cervical dysplasia can be used in conjunction with medical treatment.Things You'll Need

Natural Tea for Cervical Dysplasia
-
1
Brew and drink daily an herbal tea by placing the first five ingredients in boiling water, then simmer for five minutes. Strain out the herbs and drink the tea. The tea boosts the immune system with echinacea and false indigo root, and regulates the reproductive system with vitex berries. Calendula flowers heal the cervix. Burdock moderates the amount of estrogen in the body as too much can cause cervical dysplasia and certain forms of cancer.

2
Take a folic acid supplement daily. To avoid the risk of birth defects, all women of childbearing should take folic acid daily anyway, and this essential vitamin found in leafy green vegetables may help heal cervical dysplasia as well.
-
3
Insert tea tree suppositories, available for purchase at health food stores, into the vagina daily. Tea tree is known for healing the body and its internal use may help heal vaginal infections, such as those that cause cervical dysplasia.
-
4
Quit smoking. Women who smoke have a much higher risk of cervical dysplasia.
-
5
Avoid natural and artificial estrogen, including that found in the birth control pill. Women on the birth control pill have a higher risk of cervical dysplasia.
-
6
Use condoms for birth control if you are sexually active. There is evidence that some cases of cervical dysplasia are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus), which spreads from person to person during sexual contact. Condoms help prevent the spread of HPV.
