3 Juicing Recipes for Endometriosis 

Below you’ll find 3 juicing recipes for endometriosis. I’ve also listed why each of the juices is special for managing endo symptoms:

1.    Powerful Pain-Fighting Pineapple Juice 

This endo juice has pain-fighting action courtesy of pineapple, ginger and turmeric.

Pineapple contains bromelain which seems to cause the body to produce substances that fight pain and swelling.

Meanwhile, ginger and turmeric are both spices that have natural analgesic properties that make them effective for pain.

The reason I’ve added black pepper powder is because research has shown that it increases the bioavailability and nutrient absorption of turmeric by ten-fold. We don’t want to miss out on that! You can barely even taste it in the juice. 

So, here’s the easy but powerful recipe:

What you need 

• 1 cup fresh pineapple 
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 cup coconut water 
• ½-inch ginger 
• ½ tsp turmeric 
• 1 pinch black pepper powder 

Directions 

1. Wash all your fresh produce well.
2. Into a high quality juicer , add 1 cup of freshly chopped pineapple (frozen can also work).
3. Next add 2 celery stalks and ½ inch of ginger.
4. Let your juicer run and collect all the juice squeezed.
5. Into your freshly made juice, add 1 cup coconut water, ½ tsp turmeric powder and just a pinch of black pepper powder. 
6. Mix everything up and enjoy with a straw! 

2.    Anti-inflammatory Red Juice 

Next up is this anti-inflammatory juice which has a lovely deep crimson color. 

That’s because it’s filled with beets which are supportive veggies for endometriosis. 

Beets help facilitate liver’s detoxification process, are filled with antioxidants that stave off oxygen-stealing free radicals, help reduce inflammation and last but not least, feed the body with the much-needed nutrient : folate. 

This juice also contains carrots rich in beta carotene, apples that contain essential vitamins and minerals, cucumber which is a water-rich refreshing veggie, ginger which is a powerful anti-inflammatory spice and lastly, lemon juice which is cleansing & alkalizing to the whole body.

What you need 

• 2 carrots 
• 1 beetroot 
• 1 red apple
• 1 cucumber 
• 1-inch ginger 
• ½ lemon

Directions 

1. First things first, you are going to wash all the veggies and fruits thoroughly. 
2. The next step is to peel the beetroot, carrots, ginger and cucumber. 
3. Now chop them up into sizeable chunks and pass them through the juicer . 
4. When you have collected your vibrant red juice, squeeze in juice from half a fresh lemon. 
5. Ta-da! Your anti-inflammatory endometriosis juice is ready to enjoy! 

3.    Fertility-Boosting Green Juice 

For many women, endometriosis is associated with a high risk of infertility. However, there are many foods that can support your body in activating the ready-to-conceive button. 

You will need celery – a veggie with low sugar content. Celery extracts have been shown by research to contain properties that improve fertility, reduce inflammation and have antibacterial action.

Spinach is a leafy green that contains key nutrients for fertility including folate, iron and zinc. These nutrients improve egg health and promote ovulation. 

Oranges are rich in Vitamin C, potassium, calcium and also folate which is good for ovulation and healthy eggs production in the ovaries. 

What you need 

• 2 celery stalks 
• 1 red apple
• 1 orange
• ½ cup baby spinach
• ½ lemon 

Directions 

1. After washing all the ingredients properly, chop up the celery, apple and orange into chunks that can pass through your high quality juicer .
2. Add the chunks and also the spinach. 
3. Now juice them up, baby! 
4. Once you have your fresh juice ready, squeeze in half a lemon into your glass. 
5. Serve immediately or keep it in the fridge for up to a day.
