ALL NATURAL and EFFECTIVE Bartholin Cyst Remedy

Bartholin Cysts are extremely painful and are known to come back repeatedly for years even after being drained by a physician. What the doctors aren’t telling you is that there is an herbal remedy that can take care of your cysts without having painful needles inserted into your vaginal area. There is an herbal poultice you can make for fairly cheap that will open the Bartholin gland naturally and help remove the liquids inside of it. (I’ve been treating my cysts with this mixture and haven’t had mine return for many years now. Everyone’s bodies are unique; I sincerely hope it helps you like it did for me.)

First, you want to know for sure that what you have is a Bartholin cyst. Bartholin’s cyst is the name for the fluid-filled lump that can appear and close off the ducts of the Bartholin glands. The Bartholin glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening and are responsible for secreting lubricating fluid into the vagina.

This Bartholin cyst can cause a few different symptoms including pain in the site of the cyst, fatigue, anxiety, depressed moon, insomnia and inability to get comfortable due to its location. The most common treatments for the symptoms include pain killers, injecting the cyst with a needle and draining it (which can be EXTREMELY and excruciatingly painful) as well as sitz baths and even depression medication in very few cases.

Poultices have been used for centuries to aide in the healing of wounds and illnesses. We have pulled away from them due to the encouragement of pharmaceutical companies. They make much more money doing painful procedures and selling you prescription chemical medication, that don’t always work, than they do selling herbs.

If you suffer from Bartholin gland cysts and need a remedy I sincerely encourage treating it with a goldenseal poultice.

You can purchase goldenseal here at Amazon for $17.38 or you can find it at your local health store, GNC, Sprouts, Whole Foods and etcetera. I personally use the Nature’s Way Goldenseal Root, 570 mg, 100 Capsules.

You can also use the Nature’s Answer Alcohol-Free Goldenseal Root, 1-Fluid Ounce for $28.37 which is already in liquid form and really simplifies the process. The only reason I don’t use the liquid is it will expire before I am able to use all of it. The capsules up above have a longer shelf life which means it’s less likely any of it will get wasted, and I will get my moneys worth. But if that doesn’t matter to you the extract really makes treating your cyst quite a bit easier.

If having an organic product is important to you, there is also the Herb Pharm Certified Organic Goldenseal Extract for Respiratory System Support – 1 Ounce for $17.38. I know it says for respiratory system but it can be used as a poultice to treat your Bartholin cyst as well.

So now that you have your main product, you will also need access to a sink, a small bowl to mix your poultice in, some gauze and some clean fresh underwear (which will help hold the gauze in place).

Also, I suggest doing this during nighttime and sleeping with the poultice on. If the poultice works properly, it will open the cyst up and drain it of its gunk; not an experience you want to go through when you are at work or walking around the mall and what not. Also, walking at all with a giant piece of gauze stuck between your vaginal lips really isn’t comfortable. If you want to prevent making a mess on your sheets and mattress I suggest laying down a towel or wearing a menstrual pad to catch the liquids from your cyst.

(This was NOT painful for me. I can’t say for sure if it will be painful for you or not, because everyone’s body is very unique, but I personally did not experience any pain. It happened entirely in my sleep and I don’t remember it opening up.)

STEP ONE:

If you purchased the powder capsules go ahead and open up 3 to 4 capsules into your small bowl. Mix it with two to three droplets of water (for added strength you can use Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar [16 Ounce] instead of water if you have it on hand) You might have to add extra water to soak all of the powder and make it wet. If its wet it will be easier to absorb the medicine into the skin and gland causing it to open up naturally and release its toxins.

If you purchased the extract you don’t have to mix anything. Go ahead and open your bottle up.

STEP TWO:

Clean your vaginal area and the cyst as best as you can with some soap and water. Dry it off well before continuing to the next step.

STEP THREE:

gauze

Prepare a small square of gauze the size of your cyst and soak it in the water/powder mixture you created in your small bowl.

If you have the extract go ahead and put some droplets of the extract onto the gauze. I’d say maybe somewhere between 3 and 5 drops of extract. (Cover the gauze with extract so it will cover your cyst but don’t put so much extract that its dripping off of the gauze either.)

STEP FOUR:

Place the gauze onto your cyst in between your vaginal lips. Try to place it in the spot that seems most tender (that is most likely where your Bartholin Gland is and we need that gland to open naturally and relieve itself of its toxins).

STEP FIVE:

Put your under wear on then put your extracts & powders away. The extract and powder WILL temporarily dye surfaces so be sure to clean it up well so you don’t have some unsightly yellow stain on your countertop for a week.

STEP SIX:

Go to sleep. Lay in a comfortable position that is most relaxing to you. Keep that gauze in place in between your legs. When you wake in the morning the cyst should have opened itself up and drained. You might need to repeat the process a few times but its far less painful than having a gynecologist sit in between your legs and poke with your vagina with painful needles.

sleep

Use the medicines the world has provided… the universe always provides.

Please feel free to comment below if this worked for you, or if it didn’t. Do you have a different process for dealing with Bartholin cysts?
Have you tried this poultice on cysts other than the Bartholin gland?

Love and Light to you all. Take care!

        1. Hello Saloni! Thank you so much for the question. Since goldenseal is an all natural antibiotic and enhances immune function by increasing antigen-specific antibody production it shouldn’t increase the swelling at all. If you’re concerned about an allergy I suggest inquiring with your Gynecologist if it’s an option for you. But goldenseals effect on the body should reduce inflammation and open your natural pores in the skin to relieve it of its toxic contents so you can avoid having a doctor open it up with a scalpel or needle.

  3. I did this and is it normal for that area to be burn when I put gauze with oil on it? Next morning, I got an open area that kinda look like hole. Not one but two different size of holes in the same area. Did this happened to you?

    1. Hello Amanda! I did experience a little bit of stinging but it went away fairly quickly. I ended up with only one opening to my cyst, but I have heard of there being two. Those holes you are seeing are most likely from the glands opening to allow the stuff inside to come out.

      I hope that this procedure helped you. Love and light to you and yours.

  4. I had the torture of getting a cyst drained this past June. I prayed for a better way!! OMG!!! I tried this yesterday (December 1,2017). Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
    At first I didn’t think it worked because I work nights and I only put the gauze on a short time (4 hour) during my day sleep.
    When I woke up the cyst was still swollen. While I was working it starts to drain. I wasn’t in any pain like the first time, I will be doing this again today.

  5. I will be trying this tomorrow, thank you for sharing!! This is my second cyst and I don’t want to get it drained again. Can I ask did the gauze stick to the cyst or just come away in the morning? Just asking as I’ve had an experience with gauze on a finger and it was stuck and very painful. So just wanted to check? Could I use cotton wool or does it have to be gauze? Thanks again so appreciated.

    1. Hello Hyssoap! There is a chance the guaze might stick to the skin a little bit, but cotton balls would be fine to use as well! The most important thing is to keep the goldenseal near the surface of the skin so it can properly get into the cyst and drain it naturally. Good luck to you! I hope you find some relief!

    1. Hi Amanda! It’s real, but if you need additional reassurance feel free to consult a Homeopathic Physician for feedback. Golden seal root has been a life saver for me. You should be able to find the capsules at walgreens in the herbal supplement section. It will be harder to find goldenseal extract; for that I might suggest a naturalist food store like Sprouts or Whole Foods; however in my experience those stores charge more than most online outlets like Amazon.

  7. I use goldenseal root in a poulstice for tooth infections OUCH!! It helps a lot. Tastes yucky but worth it. Found it at Central Market. Would use it for your blog reason too if I had that. Saves time, trouble, money, trips to doctors, waiting for an appt., pharmacies, etc. I sit at home, comfy all bundled up by woodstove w my dog and rest for a while, let goldenseal root do the job. And our body pain can spark at anytime, not just 9-5 M-F ! So why not try it! Thankyou Golden seal root!

  8. I got my first batholin cysts 3 weeks before my wedding In August 2016, I had it drained, (I thought )want home numb and still uncomfortable come to find out she had missed the glad cyst, I had to go in a second time to get it drained! After that it went away for about 1 year to the day so my anniversary lets just say it wasnt fun. Got this one drained correctly this time had a drain inserted and had it there for 6 WEEKS! Thought maybe this will be the last one. Hahaha boy was I wrong, 4 months later my third popped up that brings us to about end of January this one topped the cake, I had it drained and silver nitrate placed in the area they drained the cysts from and left it there for two days!! I had a literal chemical burn going on in my parts! So after that the Dr. ,Yanked it out i almost passes out it hurt so bad. Dr. Telling me that this procedure is as good as marsupilization, I call bull shit cause 2 weeks later I have another one! So that brings vs us up to today where I tried this natural remedy and this morning I woke up and it’s a bit smaller but still so very sensitive!! I’m also supplementing with sits baths. Please if anyone knows any other ways to get rid of these things I will forever be so so greatful, just to have multiple ways to get rid of these things besides going in and getting cut open!

  10. Thank you so much for this post. This was my first time ever having a cyst. The doctor gave me antibiotics and instructed me to try hot compresses. She said if that didn’t work she could drain it, which sounded painful. I’ve been struggling for a week with this issue and last night thought about just calling the doctor today to have it drained. Nevertheless, I found your amazing blog first. I was a skeptic, but when in pain you will try almost anything. I tried this last night and this morning it is totally gone. Pain is gone! Cyst is gone! Thank you again.

  11. Upon finding this remedy and reading the last few paragraphs of your post I broke into tears I don’t know if it’s from happiness finding the cure, having my first baby this June or the sleep deprivation with the pain. I love you ! Sent someone to get goldenseal extract now! At lassens! I first had this problem when I was 18, got a surgery they packed it and left it open to drain it closed up eventually and healed. Then maybe three years later again I went to e.r. Demanded it be lanced the pain imberable. Now almost 4 months post partum it’s here! Already sleep and energy deprived, its back to haunt me. Went to e.r 3 days ago, the dr. Gave me two different kinds of antibiotics( I dread) the pain is horrific. Hard to breastfeed and I’m so scared I’m transferring all the drugs to baby via milk, antibiotics and 800 mg ibuprofen. Although the dr. Said it was safe for baby the antibiotics still says not intended for pregnant or nursing. Also infant ibuprofen is 50 mg, for every 400mg put in the baby gets 1 mg through breast milk. (Not so bad, but I hate taking meds, I always end up never using the ibuprofen cause I feel the like it’s just bad for you) I had a natural home birth! No drugs! so this pain is more unbearable then that I feel! I know this will work I believe in goldenseal! Finally leading to my question, would you think it wise to keep taking the antibiotics if and when it does drain on its own? And the liquid form is alright to use full strength? Thank you!! I am so greateful!

    1. Hello Taylor, I completely understand the tears. I went through a very similar thing! The pain from these cysts is horrendous; I don’t wish it on anyone.

      In regards to your medication I really don’t know. You should call your doctor and let them know you’re applying a goldenseal poultice to the external portion of the Bartholin cyst to allow it to drain naturally. They’ll be able to let you know if there are any potential interactions or if there should be a change in the medication. I’m sorry I don’t have more information about it.

      The liquid form is fine to use at full strength since its only being placed on the outside of the Bartholin cyst (i.e. you’re not drinking it)

      I sincerely hope you find relief! Let me know what you find out. Love & Light to you and yours.

  12. Hello again! I did the goldenseal treatment last night, I may have put it on the gland inside but not the abcess itself on the side… because I had been witch hazeling and tea tree and hot baths all day that it was coming to a white clear head I could see the blood on the other side of the skin..the pain excruciating, so I didn’t want it to rupture, after finding your treatment and how you can make it come out through the gland. The night went on and I had to take another super hot bath then with a clean hot wash cloth I pressed it and it popped! The abcess drained pus and blood! Now I’m wondering if it Is still wise to use the goldenseal treatment as the open wound is sensitive… or should I just keep a cotton ball of goldenseal on the gland part? Gosh I really don’t want this to come back with a vengeance, I’m replaying the last surgeries in my mind! Also how many times do you do the treatment to prevent it? Once a month, a week? Also do you know of anything natural to take internally to kill the bacteria inside… I heard probiotics and diatomaceous earth and silica… so far just taking probiotics… I have diatomaceous earth but think it’s too strong for baby. Thank you !!! Sincerely the girl with a million questions 💜

    1. Hello Taylor! I am so incredibly happy that it was able to open it up and relieve some of your symptoms. I personally only use the goldenseal poultice treatment when my Bartholin cyst acts up, which is rare now a days for me since I started using goldenseal.

      In regards to using it while your cyst is an open wound I believe I found the answer at https://www.healthline.com/health/goldenseal-cure-for-everything “Early American medical texts refer to the Cherokees and Iroquois using goldenseal to treat cancer, mouth ailments such as canker sores, and stomach issues.

      Goldenseal is also said to increase the effectiveness of other herbs and medicines. It’s regularly combined with echinacea, an herb associated with strengthening the immune system.

      Modern research has isolated a chemical in goldenseal called berberine that might be the source of its acclaimed benefits. Berberine is an antidiabetic agent. Goldenseal is also antibacterial, antifungal, & anti-infective.

      When treating an open wound, use enough to cover the wound at least once a day, and wash the area daily to make sure nothing is trapped in the healing skin.”

      I sincerely hope this information helps. Let me know if I can help in any other way. I’m so so happy you’ve found some relief!!! 🙂 Love & Light to you and yours.

Ive been taking Silica ever since and the cyst is not about the size of a marble. I do not feel it when I wipe or walk or sit, I havent tried having sex yet because Im too scared.

  16. Eating clean, rest and lowering stress worked for me!!
    I had a cyst about the size of a golf ball last month. This was my second. The first one I got infected and I went to a gyno and he said it was so bad that he couldn’t drain in the office. He sent me home with antibiotics, pain killers and instructions to stay in an Epsom salt bath as much as possible. If that didn’t work he recommended surgery. The pain killers did not touch the pain I was in. So I took more and got very ill from the meds. That night the cyst burst and I was back to normal very fast. No surgery. Phew!
    The doc said I would probably get them all the time and to be prepared. I haven’t, thank God. But over five years later I noticed one all of a sudden. Not infected and no pain whatsoever but getting larger by the day. I did so much research and tried every home remedy I could find. I eventually I burned my skin with tea tree oil and then it started to really hurt the skin only. I wore pads all the time in case it burst. I was constantly applying something to the area. Then one day I read about someone who got relief from changing her diet. I decided to stop wearing liners or pads, stop applying anything to the area, stop taking all enzymes and cell salts, and to eat as clean as humanly possible. Pretty much doing a Paleo diet, no dairy at all. Drinking lots of water and getting lots of sleep. Even taking power naps.I am shocked that after about 10 days of this, it is almost gone! receded on its own. No bursting. And, may I add that I remained sexually active as I am in a loving relationship and he was not deterred when I explained what it was.
    I hope this helps someone else. These cysts can be so life-interrupting, painful and embarrassing. Peace to you…

  21. Hello! So happy to have found this page. And hoping to try this tomorrow.
    I’ve had a pretty unique situation, and kind of a long one. Lol. I’ve had my large cyst for almost 15 years now. Thankfully not painful or any irritation for the past 10.
    The first time it happened I was in a very toxic relationship which I believe contributed in a large part to it forming. I remember the morning it came about I was in so much pain I practically crawled into the emergency. Begging to be seen. I was sent to a specialized unit and was in hospital for 10 days. It went from marble size to my entire left side of my labia/vagina completely swollen and hard as a rock. They were unable to insert a needle and I was on morphine for 6 of the 10 days in hospital. No one, not one doctor diagnosed me with Bartholin abscess because of the extreme swelling. They thought it was an allergic reaction.
    Anyways, I went home. Was on multiple drugs a day to fix a handful of things they thought it may be. the swelling was still there but slowly coming down. Finally after being bed ridden for 2 more weeks out of hospital I made the decision to see a natural path. It changed my life. I left the toxic relationship, and started on a journey towards a much healthier lifestyle. BUT, here I am at 36, 2 natural births later, and the swollen, golf ball is still there. And has been with me for 15 years now. I am so ready for it to be gone from my life.
    I am praying so hard that this works. It feels like it’s finally time to let this shit to. To be honest I’m super scared to do it. And nervous about it draining and being open to infection. I feel traumatized from my experience in the hospital and have kind of left it as is for so long because it hasn’t affected me (or so I thought). But I’m a true believer in natural remedies and think I’m ready to finally have this gone.

    Sorry for the long post. I think I needed to get that off my chest. Lol. Haven’t talked about it to anyone.

    Thanks again for sharing this and I’ll come back to update my progress.

  24. Hi! I’ve been dealing with my first Bartholin’s Cyst for about 6 months now. Various home remedies and treatments (sitz baths, silica tablets, serrapeptase, silica spray, bentonite clay, etc.) have aided in gradually making the cyst smaller over time, but it grows right back to the size of a small almond within minutes of me getting aroused in any way. It’s been extremely frustrating. Anyway… I went to my local health food store earlier today, got both goldenseal extract and powder (just in case!), and have just applied the gauze soaked with goldenseal extract the way you’ve outlined here. My first question- if the cyst doesn’t end up draining overnight, how many more times would you recommend continuing this method before moving on to something else? What’s the longest amount of time that you’ve seen this process take to work? I’m willing to stick with it for as long as it takes if it’s just a matter of time, but I want to set realistic expectations as best I can. My second question- is there any harm in slightly inserting the goldenseal poultice near the vaginal opening in an attempt to get as close to the duct as possible? The gauze is currently covering the entire outside of my cyst and as much of my most tender spot as I can get to, but will opening up the duct require me to “go deeper”?

    1. Hello JH07 Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I’m sorry you’re going through this! I know how painful it can be.

      If the cyst doesn’t drain in one night I would attempt it for a few more nights. I also recommend adding a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar to the goldenseal to increase it’s strength slightly.

      The longest I’ve seen this process take is 2 days but I have heard of some Bartholin cysts taking longer to drain entirely.

      There shouldn’t be any harm if the goldenseal poultice is near the vaginal opening. I sincerely hope you find some relief. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Love & Light to you and yours.

  25. Hi! I’ve been doing the goldenseal poultice for 5 nights now, and unfortunately, the cyst still hasn’t drained 😦 It has gotten noticeably smaller though so I will continue to use it since it seems to at least be helping. Do you happen to know how Bartholin cysts can get smaller if it’s not through draining? I guess I just don’t understand how these cysts can possibly shrink with the duct still being blocked… where does the fluid go? Since doctors are no help at all when it comes to understanding the pathology of it all, I figured I’d post the question here.

    1. Hello JH07 I’m so sorry to hear it isn’t working. 😦 There is a small percentage of people that don’t respond to the goldenseal poultice.

      Also, the liquid within the cyst can be reabsorbed into the body. The cyst can reduce in size on its own or burst under the skin. When the cyst bursts under the skin, the fluid is absorbed back into the body. Two types of cysts commonly occur underneath the skin, epidermoid cysts and sebaceous cysts. Both usually appear as flesh-colored or whitish-yellow smooth-surfaced lumps. Epidermoid cysts form when surface skin cells move deeper into the skin and multiply. These cells form the wall of the cyst and secrete a soft, yellowish substance called keratin, which fills the cyst. Sebaceous cysts form inside glands that secrete an oily substance called sebum. When normal gland secretions become trapped, they can develop into a pouch filled with a thick, cheese-like substance. Common sites include the back of the neck, the upper back and the scalp. Bartholin’s gland cysts may cause a recurring, tender swelling on either side of the vaginal entrance. Sometimes, they can become infected; causing pain, and occasionally pus may drain from them. Your doctor may tell you to apply warm, wet compresses (such as a warm washcloth) to the area, and to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve any pain. If a rash or fever develops or if pus drains from the cyst, your doctor may make a small incision in the cyst to allow it to drain and may prescribe antibiotics.

  26. Hi, Iv’e been suffering with these cysts on and off for about 6 years now. I do not currently have one but i am extremely paranoid about getting another one. Would you recommend applying this mixture as a precautionary measure? Also since this has worked for you, do you still get cysts?

    1. I used this procedure approximately 3 times over two years and haven’t had any bartholin cysts since. That was approximately 8 years ago. I haven’t had to use it for a bartholin cyst ever again since. I use the same treatment for acne and enflamed hair follicles, and it helps well with that as well. 🙂 thanks for commenting channelle

  27. Hi! Thank you for all the info about this subject!! I have a question: should I put the gauze at the external part of the cyst or should I put it into the inside space of the vagina? 🤔

  29. Dealing with my first one of these ever and am going absolutely insane over how common this pain is, and the idea that I may be dealing with this for years. I will definitely try your method but there’s a lot of things I’m curious about that no one talks about on most of these websites sharing their stories— how long does it take to heal once drained/ruptured? How does this affect having sex? How long should you wait after one drains to be sexually active again? What precautions can you take to avoid them? Is the recurrence inevitable once it’s already begun? Is there seriously nobody that’s had this once and it was strange but never happened again? I’m just so scared and annoyed that there isn’t more help for this besides painful surgery. If anyone has an answer to at least one of these questions, I would appreciate your response beyond words. I’ve gone from being worried about my current condition to worrying about years of trying to dodge or treat this discomfort.

  30. Hi, I’m a little confused about where to put the gauze. I have one on the right side. So if the duct opening is in the inside of the vagina, I put it there or on the outside, like on the labia majors. I’m clearly overthinking it hehe. Can’t wait to try this though!

  31. I have a Bartholin Cyst that gets as large as an egg very quickly. I have had it drained surgically with a catheter inside of it. I’ve also had a procedure called marsupialization and was told my cyst would never return. It returned 2 months later with a vengeance. I refused to be poked and cut with needles and scalpel this time. I found this article on Sunday and immediately purchased some Golden Seal Root. I saw 2 holes starting to form but no results. I did this for 3 nights straight. The cyst became larger and more painful and it became difficult to walk. I started feeling sick because of the infection within the cyst and went to the ER on Wednesday. I was admitted into the hospital and started on IV antibiotics. I was scheduled to have it surgically drained Thursday but the cyst erupted on its own so no surgery was needed. I’m back at home and it continuing to drain. This was the best advice I’ve found for treating Bartholin Cysts. It really worked for me!

      1. I tried this for the first time last night. The poultice did sting quite a bit, I assume from the vinegar. The cyst hasn’t ruptured yet, but the pain feels a bit more centralized, so it seems like I might be close. If I have to repeat the process, should I go ahead and do it again or wait until tonight?

  32. I can’t believe how many other women have this problem, how did I not know this? It’s such a taboo thing and it shouldn’t be. This time around the cyst isn’t horrible yet, maybe the size of a Lima bean. But I used this trick 2 times with no avail, but I’ll keep trying. I have gotten sick last night and today with diarrhea and nausea, could this be the infection making me sick possibly? I’m gonna try again this morning. Hoping for the best!

  35. Hi! Thank you so much for this resource! I’m trying this right now and it has helped decrease the size, and I’m very hopeful. I’ve been using the powder with apple cider vinegar and just want to make sure I’m doing it absolutely right; you say to soak the gauze in the mixture, when you say that do you also mean packing on some of the paste the powder and water creates? I’m sorry for clearly over thinking, I just want to make sure I’m doing this correctly and in the most effective way. Again, thank you so much for this resource!!! BCs rarely cause me pain but they do cause me a lot of mental and emotional distress because I’ve had little reliable luck helping them to go away at home though I’ve tried everything under the sun. I have trauma that makes it impossible for me to go in and get them lanced, so having a go to treatment at home that works would be an absolute freeing gift. Again thank you so much for sharing!!!
