Conventional medicine’s answer to fibroid tumors is very often a hysterectomy or other type of surgery and medications – none of which guarantees that fibroids will not return.
Nature, on the other hand, can shrink or eliminate fibroid tumors by addressing their source cause and utilizing remedies which create an environment in which fibroids are no longer welcome.
Fibroid tumors are tumors
composed of fibrous tissue which generally occur in women during their
reproductive years and shrink or disappear after menopause. Most of the time
they are benign and cause no apparent symptoms; however, in other instances,
fibroid tumors can result in severe discomfort and may include heavy bleeding
and pain.
Fibroid tumors are also known as myomas, leiomyomas and fibromyomas. Their cause is not fully known, though estrogen is considered a primary factor in their growth. The jury is out, however, on whether the use of progesterone to treat women with uterine fibroids alleviates or promotes fibroids.
One side claims that that lack of
progesterone is the cause of tumor growth, while the other side points out that
fibroids grow at a faster rate during pregnancy when progesterone levels are
high.
Fibroid tumors can vary in size from so minute that they can only be identified
under a microscope to very large. They can present themselves as a single tumor
or as several masses. Although their rate of growth is generally slow, they can
grow quickly during pregnancy.
Symptoms include abnormal bleeding (sometimes
severe enough to cause anemia), menstrual pain, and a swollen abdomen. Fibroids
can also cause infertility.
Fibroid
tumors fall into the following three categories:
·
Subserous tumors
appear outside of the uterus.
·
Intramural tumors
are confined to the wall of the uterus.
·
Submucous tumors
appear inside the uterus.
Avoiding
birth control pills can help prevent fibroid growth. Just as these tumors grow
faster during pregnancy, their growth is also accelerated by birth control
pills containing estrogen. Pesticides and herbicides used on food products are
estrogen mimicking products to avoid. Tampons and napkins bleached with
chlorine can also mimic estrogen.
Following
are remedies which may be effective in shrinking or eliminating fibroid tumors
as well as alleviating discomfort and symptoms:
Fibroids
can be reduced by consuming at least three servings of whole grains and/or
beans daily. Whole grain and beans also protect against breast and endometrial
cancer.
Eliminating
excess estrogen will result in shrinking fibroids. Dandelion, milk thistle, and
yellow dock help to metabolize estrogen from the body.
Black Seed Oil - The top recommend choice. You can use the castor oil packsuggestion or simply massage the lower abdomen area with a high grade black seed oil. (see my suggestions here) Leave the heating pad on for up to 45 minutes. Take the oil internally - 1 to 2 teaspoons daily with honey or organic juice.
You can also make a tampon using a round swab used to remove your makeup.
Simply dip it in the oil and fold it over and insert. This homemade tampon is great for candida also.
Chasteberry
tincture is often used successfully to shrink and prevent the return of fibroids.
It reduces excess estrogen, balances hormones, and reduces inflammation.
However, results often only become apparent after several months of usage. The
dosage is 25 to 30 drops two to four times daily.
Additional
herbs effective in treating fibroids include black cohosh, Siberian ginseng,
red clover, goldenseal, red raspberry, licorice root, and motherwort.
Liver
cleanses and drinking plenty of water to expel toxins from the body may also be
very helpful.
Warm
castor oil packs placed on the stomach is another effective method of shrinking
fibroids and relieving pain. Ginger compresses are also effective.
Exercise
helps the body to free itself of toxins and regulate ovulation. Some women
experience tumor reduction while following a vigorous exercise program.
Lastly,
taking a variety of digestive enzymes in quantity several times a day on an
empty stomach has been reported to be very effective at removing fibroid
tissue.
