Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have a 24 year old woman coming who has both a large adnexal cyst and a 2 cm dermoid cyst on her ovary. Does anyone know if the dermoid cyst might be responsive to herbs? I have worked successfully with ovarian cysts using phlegm and blood moving herbs, but haven't worked with this kind.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi Karen, My understanding, since I had a dermoid cyst myself many years ago, is that they commonly contain hair, and sometimes teeth and bone fragments. I don't think the approaches you mentioned will address this. As my gynecologist at the time explained, this is one of the things ovaries can do... it seems to me to be a jing issue, more than accumulation and stagnation. She described it as kind of like being pregnant without a blueprint. That's my 2 cents. Andrea Beth Traditional Oriental Medicine Happy Hours in the CALM Center 753 N.
