subject: Natural Herbs For Fibroids [print this page] Fibroids are rarely dangerous which makes them an ideal condition to treat naturally. Indeed, there are various options to consider and providing you have received confirmation from your doctor that your fibroids are indeed benign (as the vast majority are) you could consider using natural herbs for fibroids.
Before elaborating on the types of herbs you might try, I must stress strongly that in my opinion, whilst there is certainly a place for herbal remedies in the treatment of fibroids, it should be seen as one part of an overall strategy and not used in isolation for best results. If you do decide to use herbs on their own, you may be lucky enough to get some symptomatic relief, but you will not shrink and cure your fibroids in the long term as you will not have eliminated the root causes.
Ensure that you obtain your natural herbs for fibroids from a reputable source as "natural" does not always mean "safe"! Some of the most potent medicines known to man come from natural sources, but can kill when used incorrectly. You only need to think of opiates and even the humble aspirin based medications.
Milk Thistle
A build up of liver toxins is believed to contribute to fibroids and this herb is excellent for liver detoxing and repair.
Burdock
Burdock root has been shown to have tumor-fighting capabilities when tested on animals. Used at a known safe dosage, this can be taken to help shrink fibroids
Vitex
Can help to regulate hormones. Needs to be taken long-term to see results
Red Raspberry
Great for controlling excessive bleeding and believed to improve the tone of the uterus
Poke Root
Rubbing the oil of poke root onto the abdomen can help to stop tenderness. Do not take internally as can be dangerous
The above natural herbs for fibroids can help, but consider using them as part of a holistic strategy for the very best possible results.
Written by a nutritionalist, health writer and former fibroids sufferer herself, the system I recommend is groundbreaking, and I am confident that you will finally feel that you have found something that will work for you.
