Is endometriosis based on a genetic or familial factor?

Condition analysis: 

Several studies have shown that the incidence of endometriosis is much higher in women having a sister or mother who has already had endometriosis. There was a study conducted involving more than 150 women with endometriosis; of these, 18 (12 percent) were found to have a mother or sister with endometriosis. However, in the same group of women, only two (1.5 percent) showed that they had a mother-in-law or sister-in-law who had endometriosis. This clearly shows that there is a familial tendency with endometriosis. As one can see from these figures, there is almost an eight-fold increase in the risk of endometriosis in women whose mother or sister has been diagnosed as having the disease.

Equally important was the finding that Endometriosis on a familial basis tended to be at a more advanced stage when diagnosed and also that it acts more aggressively. It has been suggested that Endometriosis might result from an inheritable immunodeficiency state.

Instructions: 

Castor Oil: An age-old effective remedy for endometriosis is castor oil. Castor oil helps the body get rid of excess tissues and toxins. It should be used at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, when cramping is first noticed. This will help reduce the severity of symptoms throughout the cycle.

Mix eight drops of lavender essential oil and one-fourth cup of castor oil.

Soak a washcloth in this mixture, fold it and heat it in the microwave until it is comfortably warm. Place the warm cloth directly on your lower stomach.

Put a piece of plastic on top of the cloth and place a hot water bottle on top of that.

Use the pack once a day for 30 to 60 minutes.

Rinse off the oil with lukewarm water after each application.
