Do you have ovarian cysts? You can help manage symptoms better by making these 3 powerful refreshing and detoxifying juicing recipes for ovarian cysts!
Did you know that 9 in 10 women suffer from at least one of these issues: uterine fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, ovarian cysts and other hormonal imbalance disorders?
Ovarian cysts is probably one of the most common reproductive disorders in women of child bearing age and menopause. They are sacs filled with fluid that develops on the ovaries.
Most women will develop at least one cyst in their lifetime, according to science. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the occurrence of these cysts is the highest in pre-menopausal women whereas 14.8 percent of women may get them after menopause.
Lots of women want to know how to dissolve these cysts naturally.
Natural remedies try to look into the cause of the disease, not just treat its symptoms. So of course, when it comes to natural remedies, one of the biggest factors to look into is your diet. Diet is key to better health. One of the ways to help shrink ovarian cysts is by adding a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily diet.
Smoothies and juices are excellent ways of enriching your diet with these antioxidant-filled foods.
Juices are also much easier to consume and even more palatable than smoothies. They contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and some fiber, especially if you use a blender to extract your juice, rather than a juicer.
Below are 3 juicing recipes for ovarian cysts. I have explained the benefits of each ingredient used in the juices and how good they are for your health, as someone suffering from ovarian cysts. Here’s to cyst-free ovaries!
3 Juicing Recipes for Ovarian Cysts
1. Daily Cyster Juice
The first juicing recipe I want to share with you is this Daily Cyster Juice. Yes, you should try to drink this juice daily. You can make a bigger batch and store it in glass or PET plastic bottles in your refrigerator. Simply triple the recipe below and you’ll have fresh juice to last you three days!
The Daily Cyster Juice contains beet, celery, apple, carrot, lime and ginger.
Beets contain Vitamin A, B-vitamins, Vitamin C, phosphorous, potassium, iron, and copper, among others. It also contains a compound called betacyanin that supports the liver’s ability to clear toxins out of the body. Plus, the alkaline nature of beetroot helps balance the acidity in your body. This in turn reduces the severity of many symptoms of ovarian cysts. Don’t forget that beetroot is a blood building food which helps replenish iron and other minerals lost during heavy bleeding associated with ovarian cysts.
Celery is very alkalizing. This alkaline nature of celery helps balance the acidity in your body, which in turn reduces the severity of many symptoms of ovarian cysts including pain, inflammation, heavy bleeding and more. Celery also contains high amounts of folate, potassium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin K.
Apples are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin K, copper, potassium and manganese. Due to its good potassium content, eating apples can help with ovarian cysts caused by potassium deficiency. If you use a blender to juice, you can benefit from some of the fiber content of apples, which helps in eliminating wastes stuck in the gunk.
Carrots are rich in a special estrogen-detoxing fiber that is very beneficial for those with ovarian cysts, an estrogen dominant disorder. You will especially benefit from the fiber in carrots if you use a blender and strainer to extract your juice as this will retai some fiber as compared to juicing. Some helpful nutrients in carrots include calcium and Vitamin K. Vitamin K helps in reducing heavy bleeding, which is a major symptom of ovarian cysts, by helping in coagulation of blood.
Lime has the vitamins A, E and K as well as minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, among others. The acidity of limes can clear the excretory system and stimulate bowel activity, which is important for detoxifying the body, especially when you suffer from bloating, constipation and unwanted weight gain with ovarian cysts.
Last but not least is ginger which is a potent anti-inflammatory herbs that relieves pain and induces a healthy flow during menstruation. It is a natural remedy for many ovarian cyst symptoms such as digestive distress, nausea, cramping and painful periods. It is also useful for inhibiting the growth of ovarian cancer cells, which is very useful for those with persistent and severe ovarian cysts.

2. Detoxifying Juicing Recipe for Ovarian Cyst
This is another amazing juicing recipe for ovarian cysts.
It features beet, pear, spinach, celery, cucumber and lemon to make a deep cleansing, anti-inflammatory and gut friendly juice!
Pears, just like apples, contain fiber that helps cleanse wastes and toxins from the intestines. The fiber is also liver-supportive, by helping bind to excess estrogen in the gut, and driving them out through bowel movements. Excess estrogen is a major cause and aggravator of ovarian cysts, so consuming fiber-rich fruits like pears is key.
Beetroot is not only a great liver-detoxifying veggie, it also helps build blood and replenish lost iron from excess bleeding due to ovarian cysts.
Spinach packs quite a punch in terms of nutrition. In each serving, it contains a ton of Vitamin A and Vitamin K, not to mention powerful antioxidants. It also contains iron which makes it a good blood building food. If using kale, it’s even better because this cruciferous vegetable contains diindolylmethane (DIM), a compound that develops when you eat foods that are loaded with indole-3-carbinol. This compound is very effective at helping the body process and eliminate excess estrogen.
As we saw from the other juice above, celery is alkalizing and it is a great source of antioxidants that fight free radicals known to steal oxygen from healthy cells, causing them to become lifeless and prone to cancer. Celery also reduces inflammation and helps manage healthy weight.
Cucumber is not just filled with water. It contains Vitamin A, essential for a healthy reproductive system, andVitamin K that helps in blood clotting and prevention of heavy prolonged bleeding, one of the symptoms of ovarian cysts.
Lemon is high in Vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects cell from oxygen-stealing free radicals. It is also cleansing, helping clear waste stuck in the intestines. The alkalizing effect of lemon in the body helps reduce acidity which is one of the causes of inflammation and disease in the body.
What you need

- 1 beetroot
- 1 cup baby spinach or kale
- 2 celery sticks
- 1 cucumber
- 1 lemon
- ½ cup of water

Directions

- Next, peel the beet.

- Pour the beautiful red juice into a glass or your favorite mason jar.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge and drink up within 3 days.
3. Pain Relief Juicing Recipe for Ovarian Cysts
Pineapple is one of the best pain fighting foods. It contains an active compound called bromelain which triggers your body’s ability to fight pain and reduce swelling. It also helps decrease inflammation, which is a major aggravator of ovarian cysts.
Carrots contain significant amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin K. They also contain calcium, biotin, iron and potassium. The fiber in carrots (some of which is retained if you use a blender and strainer to get the juice), binds to excess estrogen in the digestive tract and transports it safely out of the body through the bowels. By doing so, there will be less estrogen getting reabsorbed and floating in the body and fewer chances of it worsening estrogen dominant disorders like ovarian cysts and their symptoms.
Cucumbers are hydrating, rich in electrolytes and also alkalizing. An acidic body is high in inflammation, which is the root cause of disease including reproductive disorders like ovarian cysts and endometriosis. By alkalizing the body, cucumbers help bring the body’s pH to balanced levels which fights inflammation, promoting better health and healing.
Ginger is a strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving agent. It also promotes blood circulation in the body including the reproductive system, which helps promote regular periods, ovulation and fertility. Research shows that ginger inhibits ovarian cancer cell growth (source).
Turmeric is from the same family as ginger and is a rhizome, just like ginger. It has similar properties too – it acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory and has natural analgesic or pain relieving properties. Turmeric is good for bringing down swelling, redness, inflammation and pain from within the body.
What you need
- 2 cups fresh pineapple
- 1 carrot
- 1 apple
- 1 cucumber
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 inch turmeric root or ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (where to get it)
- High speed blender (where to get it) or high quality juicer (where to get it)
- Smoothie drinking jar & straw (where to get it)
Directions
- Scrub and wash all fresh produce thoroughly to remove dirt.
- Next, remove the peels and skins of the carrot, pineapple, ginger and fresh turmeric root.
- Chop up the ingredients into chunks and add them to your blender or juicer. If using a blender, add about ½ to 1 cup of water, then filter through a fine mesh sieve to get your juice.
