Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that occur in the linings of the uterus. These tumors affect women especially during their child-bearing years, and they are expected to disappear after menopause. But because these growths cause pain during menstruation or sexual intercourse, who want sto wait until you’re over 50 to get rid of them?
Uterine fibroids are treated through several methods. One is through medications, and another is through a surgical procedure called myomectomy. Aside from these options, natural treatments are also possible.
Here are some ways that you can do to get rid of uterine fibroid naturally…
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
This is one of those holistic treatments available, wherein one part of apple cider vinegar is mixed with 8 to 10 parts of filtered water. The patient is asked to drink this solution everyday. This should reduce symptoms and shrink the tumor.
According to some suggestions, the apple cider vinegar method is more effective if it is coupled with a green diet. Patients are advised to pile their plate with fiber-rich foods such as broccoli, beans, and dark leafy vegetables. Junk food, meat, and peanuts should also be removed from the diet.
2. Fibro Defense
Fibro Defense is a supplement that contains a mix of herbs such as the following:
– dandelion root and leaf
– ginger root
– goldenseal root
– pau d’ arco
– red raspberry leaf
Each of these herbs contains an ingredient that fight against uterine fibroids. For instance, goldenseal is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, while dandelion helps improve hormonal balance.
3. Water fast
Some patients with uterine fibroids found that a water fast has helped them shrink their fibroids. According to experts, this makes sense because a water fast helps patients avoid estrogen dominance. Estrogens are produced in the body by the ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat cells. So if you go on a water fast, you’ll burn excess fats that can produce estrogen.
In connection with this, estrogen dominance occurs when a patient experiences chronic stress. Stress can interrupt the development of eggs, and when this happens, the body’s estrogen levels increase which results to the development of fibroids.
So if you think that you are under extreme amounts of pressure these days, make a conscious effort to unwind. One way to eliminate stress is through relaxation techniques or activities such as the following:
– meditation
– dance therapy
– hypnotherapy
– yoga
