Endometriosis (EM) is one of the common gynaecological conditions causing menstrual and pelvic pain and affects 10 percent –15 percent of women of reproductive age.

Herbs (herbal prescription, extract, and patent), acupuncture, microwave physiotherapy, and Chinese herb medicine enema are all examples of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments for EM (CHM enema).
