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:
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
