Natural Remedies For Uterine Fibroids

What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are a common health concern among a major population of women.
Uterine fibroids are benign, non cancerous tumours that originate within the
uterus. They are also called fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas. They are made
of the same muscle tissues as the uterus, though they tend to be hardened. This is
possibly because uterine fibroids contain higher levels of estrogen than the
surrounding uterine tissues. Some uterine fibroids may be so small that they can't
be felt even during an internal examination; some may be large enough to make a
prominent bulge in your stomach.
The uterus is the perfect location for fibroids to thrive. Firstly, the purpose of
the uterus is to hold the fetus. This means, it has the perfect environment for a
mass of cells to reproduce and cause a hardened growth. Secondly, there is enough
space for multiple fibroids to grow undetected. Apart from these factors, hormonal
fluctuations, the thick endometric walls and a good supply of menstrual blood, all
together form a hospitable environment for the fibroids to develop and flourish.
There are various factors that contribute to the formation and subsequent growth of
uterine fibroids. For instance, the genetic construction in some women makes them
more susceptible to fibroids than others. Thankfully, genetic research shows that
these constructions can be altered and thereby the condition can be overcome.
Again, an unwholesome diet usually causes hormonal imbalances, which, in turn
disturb the removal of toxic waste from the body. Lack of nutrition usually lowers
the body's defenses and therefore makes one vulnerable to fibroids. When the immune
system is weak, the body is unable to tackle problems of toxic accumulation and
hormonal imbalance. Prolonged exposure to toxins, through our food, our water and
our air, leads to a toxic build up in the body. This makes the body more vulnerable
to fibroids. Finally, insulin resistance is a stage where the cells in one's body
are less responsive to the insulin hormone thus resulting in abnormal blood sugar.
These fluctuations in the blood sugar levels lead to uterine fibroids.

Uterine fibroids may be of various types, namely:

. The Subserous Fibroid- This is the most common kind of fibroid. It develops on
the outer walls of the uterus and tends to grow bigger and more painful during
menstruation.
. The Submusocal Fibroid- This kind of fibroid can be found very deep inside the
uterus. Often, the only solution for relief from this type is surgery. It causes
excessive bleeding (often leading to hemorrhage) and can cause a lot of pain.
. The Intramural Fibroid- The intramural fibroid grows exactly on the walls of the
uterus. It displays the characteristics and symptoms of both subserous and
submusocal fibroids.
. The Pedunculated Fibroid- These fibroids are attached to the uterine walls by a
stalk like growth referred to as the peduncle. They don't usually display any
symptoms, but can be felt during internal examinations.

Women with uterine fibroids exhibit several symptoms. Some of these are, excessive
menstrual flow, excruciating cramps accompanied with fever and nausea, bloating,
pain during intercourse and severe abdominal pressure. Uterine fibroids tend to
cause several problems to the sufferers such as urinary problems, pregnancy and
fertility related problems and even depression due to hormonal imbalances.
Now that you know all about uterine fibroids, it is important to know that there is
a cure. A wise and healthy way of dealing with this condition is to approach it in
a holistic manner. Holistic treatments examine your body as a whole and heals the
condition using a multi-dimensional approach in a safe and natural way. Holistic
treatments aim at building a strong immune system, and also enhance your mental and
spiritual strength, to equip your body to cure itself of the disease. Thus, say, by
combining a healthy diet with exercise and meditation, you can strengthen your mind
and body, eliminate the existing fibroids and permanently prevent further fibroids
from developing. Holistic treatment not only provides a complete relief from the
condition but also permanently keeps further fibroids from developing.

What Causes Uterine Fibroids?
There are various factors that underlie the real cause of uterine fibroids. There
are primary causes that contribute to the development of the fibroids in the
uterus, and then there are secondary causes that contribute to the aggravation of
these present fibroids. There might even be external factors like, emotional
upheavals, which disrupt the normal balance of the body and make you vulnerable to
such diseases.
Some of the primary factors that can be said to be the real causes of uterine
fibroids are listed below:
1. Genetic Predisposition- The genetic construction in certain women makes them
predisposed to abnormal metabolic cell activity. Women suffering from dysfunctional
metabolisms are therefore more susceptible to conditions like uterine fibroids than
others. Fortunately, such genetic predisposition can be changed. Genetic research
shows that genetic constructions can be altered and influenced to one's advantage.
By taking control of the internal and external environments that affect your body,
you can reform your actual genetic tendencies and thereby overcome the disease.
2. Poor Dietary Practices- A healthy, complete diet is essential for a fit and
active life. This is especially vital for women, as the slightest negligence can

greatly affect the body's internal balance. Thus, low intake of fruits and
vegetables and excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and toxic foods create
problems like hormonal imbalance, lowered immunity and poor digestion. Under such
conditions, uterine fibroids can develop more easily.
3. Weakened Immune System- Poor diet, inadequate rest, stress, toxic accumulation,
excessive use of medications- all contribute in lowering the immunity of the body.
This makes the body highly vulnerable to the condition as the body cannot work
towards balancing the hormones or eliminating the toxic waste within the body.
4. Accumulation of Toxins - In our daily life, we are constantly exposed to toxinsin the food we eat, the water we drink or even the air we breathe. This leads to
the accretion of toxins in our blood, lymph, kidneys and colon. These toxins then
cause ovary damage, infertility and dysfunctional hormones. Some environmental
toxins can even lower one's progesterone levels. All of these factors greatly
increase the body's susceptibility and make one prone to uterine fibroids.
5. Insulin Resistance- When the cells in one's body are less responsive towards the
insulin hormone, insulin resistance is caused. This negatively impacts the insulin
dependent mechanisms in the body. To counter the impassivity of the cells, the
pancreas starts producing more and more insulin. Chronically high levels of insulin
in the body cause production of male hormones like testosterone and thus stimulate
the development of uterine fibroids.
6. Hormones- Uterine fibroids have been known to thrive on hormones like estrogen
and progesterone. In fact, the fibroids contain higher levels of estrogen than
their surroundings. During pregnancy and menstruation, estrogen levels are at their
highest. This is usually the time when the fibroid condition is at its worst. A lot
of women have discovered that upon reaching menopause, the fibroids shrink, or
sometimes, even disappear.
Since the real causes of uterine fibroids are complex, it goes to follow that their
treatment should also be multidimensional. A wide variety of treatments, ranging
from simple medicinal drugs to complex surgeries, are available for addressing
uterine fibroid symptoms. However, if you are looking for a safe and natural form
of remedy, it is best to take a holistic approach to your condition.
Holistic treatment is aimed at treating your body as whole and attacking the root
of the condition, instead of only taking into account the affected part of your
body. For instance, a proper diet combined with suitable exercise and intake of
medicinal herbs strengthens the body's immunity and mental and emotional stamina,
rectifying problems of stress, toxic accumulation and other factors that stimulate
growth of fibroids. Thus holistic treatment not only eliminates the existing
fibroids but also permanently prevents further fibroids from developing. Through
holistic treatment, your body is equipped to fight various conditions and restore
itself to a state of health and well being.

The Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Recognizing the symptoms of a disease is the first step towards a proper diagnosis
and timely cure. Thus, understanding the underlying signs and symptoms of uterine
fibroids, can go a long way in getting timely help and thus stopping further growth
and development of the fibroids. Usually, the presence of one or two small fibroids
in the uterus is hardly noticeable. It is when larger fibroids begin to develop, or
the fibroids grow in number within the uterus, that it becomes immensely
uncomfortable and problematic. This is when your body starts displaying certain
uterine fibroid symptoms that you must be able to identify.
Uterine fibroids symptoms tend to be painful and distressing. Some of these
symptoms are:
. Bleeding- This is the most obvious sign to show the presence of fibroids in your
uterus. Conspicuous fibroids in the uterus tend to cause a uterine congestion. This
leads to blockage of normal menstrual flow, which in turn causes the blood to flow
heavily when released. Fibroids can also cause prolonged bleeding, bleeding in
between menstrual cycles, heavy clotting and spotting. The bleeding can even be
extremely painful. If excessive and prolonged bleeding remains unchecked, it can
cause anemia.
. Pain- One in every three women affected with fibroids claim to feel a pain
associated with their condition. Since fibroids are foreign to your body, the
uterus will often try to expel them from within. This causes excruciating cramps.

Again, if a fibroid happens to degenerate because it couldn't get enough blood, the
uterus painfully reacts to the dead cells. Many a times, the stalk like growth,
with which the fibroid attaches itself to the uterus, might twist, causing severe
pain in and around the pelvic region. Fibroids even cause pain during sexual
intercourse. In some cases, the fibroids are so large that they start to press
against the muscles of the lower back region causing pain in the back and in the
legs.
. Pressure- As fibroids grow in size, they tend to put pressure on the uterus and
the abdomen. Large fibroids also put pressure on the urinary bladder as a result of
which one feels the urge to urinate frequently. This is a very bothersome uterine
fibroid symptom. To make matters worse, many a times, there's a possibility of the
fibroids pressing the uterus against the pelvic bones. This leads to a drastic
decline in the flow of urine and subsequently causes serious kidney problems.
. Infertility and Pregnancy Related Problems- As fibroids grow bigger in size and
increase in number, they begin to obstruct the sperm from reaching the egg by
compressing the fallopian tube. In a case where fertilization does manage to occur,
the inflammation in the uterus is so extreme that the fertilized egg is unable to
plant itself safely. Due to an increase in estrogen and progesterone levels in the
body during pregnancy, there's a high chance of the fibroids developing further and
causing severe discomfort and pain.
. Emotional Upheavals- Very often, the emotional or mental symptoms are completely
ignored while only the physical or bodily symptoms are paid attention to. The

hormonal imbalances, the painful cramps and the prolonged periods of menstruation
very often cause stress, depression and "mood swings".
If you feel frequent emotional upheavals, do not underestimate them as they may
very well be signaling the presence of fibroids.
If you are facing any of these major uterine fibroids symptoms, you must consult
your gynecologist or any other health care professional immediately. While there
are a wide variety of treatments to choose from, it is best to approach the problem
in a holistic fashion. Holistic treatments are safe, and can be surely considered
as an option. For example, complementing herbal therapy with a proper diet and
therapeutic meditation helps to tackle fibroid causing factors like hormonal
imbalance, lowered immunity and stress.

Holistic treatments take into account all the contributing factors of uterine
fibroids and helps to not only remove the existing fibroids but also permanently
prevents the development of fibroids in the future. With holistic treatments, your
body will be able to rejuvenate itself from within and restore itself to a state of
health and well being.

Natural Remedies For Uterine Fibroids
Despite a long standing faith in the power of allopathic medication and other
conventional forms of treatment, more and more people are now opting for natural
forms of remedy. Natural remedies for uterine fibroids are an alternative form of
treatment that is both safe and reliable. Uterine fibroids, also known as fibroid
tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas, develop within the uterus. Women across the globe
face this problem in their reproductive years. The popularity of natural treatments
specifically for uterine fibroids has risen in the last few years.
Natural treatments for fibroids tend to be much safer compared to conventional
medication as they cause little or no side effects. This is because, unlike
conventional medication, natural treatments do not interfere with your body's
internal mechanism. If you are looking for natural remedies for your uterine
fibroids, these are some of the options available to you:
. Herbs- Using herbal treatment for your fibroids helps in balancing the hormonal
activity and strengthening the liver, thereby reducing estrogen levels in the
uterus. Herbs also help in dealing with difficulties like heavy bleeding and
excruciating cramps. Herbs like vitex, help in lowering estrogen level, while herbs
like dandelion root and milk thistle, help in improving liver function. Other herbs

like nettle and yellow dock work towards detoxification of the body and help to
regulate the heavy bleeding caused due to fibroids.

. Proper Diet- This is possibly the most fundamental treatment among all the
natural remedies for uterine fibroids. A diet rich in saturated fats will cause
your liver to be dysfunctional and subsequently increase estrogen levels and cause
hormonal imbalances. A recommended diet would be one which is low fat and high
fiber. Therefore, foods like oats, millet and brown rice, fish, nuts, fruits,
vegetables, and soy are advisable. It is safe to avoid dairy products in general.
The key factors to ensure are that firstly, your diet is mainly alkaline-forming so
as to balance the acidic content in your body and secondly, the food you eat does
not overwork your digestive system.
.Aromatherapy- Aromatherapy uses essential oils to increase circulation in and
around the pelvic region. This helps in relaxing the uterine muscles and
subsequently reduces abdominal cramps. The essential oils of ginger, rose and
marjoram are greatly beneficial for relaxing the body, stimulating circulation and
balancing the hormones. These essential oils may also be used in therapies like
abdominal compresses.
. Meditation- Stress has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. For women,
stress can prove to be a catalyst for uterine fibroids. Stress increases blood
pressure and causes hormone levels to be erratic, thus aggravating the growth of
uterine fibroids. Meditation can go a long way in relaxing the body and calming the
mind. It also helps you to deal better with the complications that fibroids entail.
While meditating, it is important to inhale and exhale slowly through your nostrils
only.

. Exercise- Exercises like aerobic dancing, brisk walking, cycling and running help
to reduce stress and blood pressure. Exercises also help in stimulating a healthy
blood circulation and relieving muscle tension. This greatly relieves sufferers
from abdominal pain associated with menstruation and fibroids. It is advisable to
avoid participating in sports like basketball and tennis as they tend to increase
the stress levels and, thus, enhance the growth of fibroids.
When using natural remedies for uterine fibroids, it is advisable to utilize a
combination of remedies for a wholesome approach to the problem. Thus complementing
a proper diet with meditation and exercise will help in dealing with the condition
holistically. Holistic treatments work towards strengthening your body from within
and thereby equipping your body with the force it needs to fight diseases in
general and fibroids in particular. Natural remedies require some dedication and
patience. It is important to remember, however, that persistently following these
treatments will help in curing the fibroids permanently and prevent the condition
from occurring in future.
