Give it a Try!

Castor Oil Packs used to enhance circulation and promote healing
Time 45-60 mins
Supplies:  Castor Oil, Flannel Fabric, Plastic bag, old towel, heating pad

Place an old towel over whatever surface you want to lie and relax on.  Soak one side of the flannel fabric with the castor oil.  Place over abdomen, place plastic bag over flannel and place heating pad over plastic bag.  Rest and relax for at least 30 mins.

This feels great and really promotes relaxation which will reduce stress, which in return will hopefully reduce those extra estrogens!!!

Yoga
Time 20-90 mins
Supplies: DVD or Gym/Yoga membership
Gentle yoga for all you experiencing a lot of symptoms with your endo: check DVDs that say gentle, relaxation, stretch.
Hot Yoga may be ideal for those needing to detox and body can handle something a little more strenuous. 

Yoga helps you learn to listen to your body, which in return can help you make the best decisions for body regarding different therapy choices.

Massage
Time: 15-90 mins
This will reduce stress and aid in pain management.  There are specific abdominal massage techniques that are said to help break apart adhesions and stimulate ovaries.  

Look up Maya fertility massage, or self fertility massage see if it would be something that would interest you.  I have been adding this into my day for a week now and am loving it!
