Fibroids home remedies

Fibroids home remedies 

Fibroids or myomas are solid muscle tissue, which grows and proliferates in the uterus. A normal irregularity seen in most women above 40 years of age is a fibroid, also termed as leiomyomas. Generally, fibroids are of the size of a walnut.


White women are less prone to fibroids than coloured women. They are neither cancerous, nor malignant. Negligible percentage of fibroid is malignant. Large sized fibroids are difficult to resolve, whereas natural remedies help in dissolving the smaller ones. Milk thistle seed, dandelion root and yellow duck are herbs that prove helpful in the removal of oestrogen from the body, thereby reducing the risk of fibroid formation. An infusion of red clover flowers is also equally helpful in fibroid removal. Exercises help in proper ovulation. Irregular ovulation worsens fibroid formation. Whole grains prove beneficial in reduction of fibroid size. These also protect women from breast and endometrial cancer. A tincture of chasteberry or vitex decreases the size of fibroids. Ginger compress or warm castor oil packs on the stomach is an effective remedy against fibroids. Avoidance of birth pills and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is helpful. Organic foods are preferred, due to the pesticides on other vegetables, which possess an activity similar to that of oestrogen.
