Herbal treatment for uterine fibroids has been used for hundreds of years and has been an integral part of Chinese remedies for treating fibroids. In recent years, interest from the Western world has increased and herbs have been used successfully as part of general treatment strategies.
Many people believe that herbal treatment for uterine fibroids will be completely safe and will have no side effects. While this is true to some extent, it must be remembered that some herbs are extremely potent and, if used incorrectly, can be harmful and even poisonous.
Uterine fibroids grow in and around the uterus. Only a very small percentage of fibroids are harmful. It is estimated that more than 50% of women of childbearing age will have fibroids, although most will never know it, as they are completely asymptomatic. When this is the case, fibroids can be safely left untreated. However, for other women, the fact that they are benign does not reassure them when they suffer from excruciating symptoms such as bloating, heavy bleeding during periods, leading to anemia, bowel and bladder problems, and severe swelling. Even when women show some of these symptoms, many doctors still recommend doing nothing, as fibroids will naturally shrink during menopause. Now this could be all very well if you are very close to menopause, but if you have a significant amount of time to go, this is totally unacceptable.
Occasionally, doctors may recommend surgery, but it’s important to understand that, with the exception of a hysterectomy, all surgical procedures to remove fibroids I will not do it prevent them from coming back.
Unless you treat the cause of your fibroids, they will keep growing back!
Once you discover the root causes of your fibroids, removing them can ensure they don’t grow any more. Very often, fibroids will begin to shrink naturally once the causes are gone, but certain herbs have been shown to speed up and support this shrinking process.
The following herbs are commonly included in treatments
* Ostreae shell
*Spica Prunellae
* Dendrobyl
* Lychee Semen
*Rhizome esparganii
* Fructus Corni
* sargassum
*Rhizome Zedorariae
Tests have shown that these herbs are safe for medical use to treat fibroids. However, as with all medications, amounts must be carefully controlled. In fact, the best way to approach this is to use a ready-made herbal treatment for uterine fibroids instead of trying to make it up yourself. In fact, this is often much cheaper than buying individual packets of herbs.
