Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). The growths are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue, and vary in size. They’re sometimes known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas.
Many women are unaware they have fibroids because they do not have any symptoms. Women who do have symptoms (around 1 in 3) may experience heavy periods or painful periods, abdominal pain, lower back pain, a frequent need to urinate, constipation, pain or discomfort during sex etc
The cause of fibroids is unknown. However, the female hormone oestrogen has been linked to the growth of fibroids. Fibroids usually develop during a woman’s reproductive years (from around the age of 16 to 50) when oestrogen levels are at their highest, and may shrink after menopause due to reduced oestrogen levels.
You may be at higher risk for fibroids if you are overweight or obese, you have hormonal imbalance, hypertension, poor metabolism, if you have used certain kinds of birth control etc
Natural remedies like herbs or homeopathic medicines may help to treat fibroids or reduce related symptoms. Note that there are also a lot of steps you must take to help balance your hormones naturally, which is a key part of prevention and natural fibroid treatment.
• Remedy 1: Chasteberry, or vitex, is taken for menstrual disorders, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and other symptoms. This herbal remedy helps to balance hormone levels. You can get this in capsule or tincture form from herbal stores.
• Remedy 2: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of dandelion root powder into 3 to 4 cups of hot water or take the capsule form. Dandelion helps in the degradation of estrogen. This prevents the risk of formation of uterine fibroids.
• Remedy 3: Goldenseal has anti – inflammatory and anti – tumor properties. Have 10 drops of Goldenseal mother tincture 2 times in a day. Take it for 21 days and review the treatment with an ultrasound scan test.
• Remedy 4: Cleavers is well known to reduce the excessive growth of tissues in the body. You can get this from herbal stores in tincture or capsule form.
• Remedy 5: Milk Thistle is a liver tonic. Liver helps to detoxify the body and balances the hormones. It also helps in reducing uterine fibroids.
Milk thistle helps to optimise the liver function and also to regulate or rebalance hormones in women.
It is available in tincture or tablet form. You may take 1 or 2 tablets daily and review the treatment with an ultrasound scan test after 3 months.
