Methods of Treating Fibroids Naturally
There is no one single or simple cause of fibroids, which are often thought to be the result of a prolonged and complex combination of circumstances that might have been prevented with hindsight and greater awareness, but then again could have happened anyway. Sometimes, doctors are at a loss to explain why fibroids occur in individuals, but very often a closer look by an alternative therapist can uncover some subtle causes.
Conventional doctors do not deal in treating fibroids naturally, preferring instead to recommend 2 options.
1. Leaving fibroids untreated as they naturally shrink during the menopause
2. Surgery
Option 1 may well be viable if your fibroids are small and your symptoms are relatively minor, or if you have just a short time to wait before you believe your menopause will start. However, if your symptoms are severe and you are years away from the menopause, then this is an option which will leave most women feeling that their situation is hopeless.
Surgery is often seen as a quick-fix, but in actual fact it can be anything but! Certain types of surgery have long recovery times. In particular, although a hysterectomy is a long term solution, the recovery time is in months rather than weeks and can cause psychological issues in many women. Plus, it takes away your ability to have children. Surgery which removes individual fibroids is only ever temporary as unless you can eliminate whatever has caused your fibroids in the first place, that cause will still be there and as you still have your uterus, regrowth is very likely.
One of the main issues which needs to be examined if you are looking at treating fibroids naturally is the question of estrogen. It is well known that most women with fibroids have excess estrogen. However, not all women with excess estrogen will have fibroids! Much of the estrogen which is evident in women with fibroids is not always natural estrogen. Very often it stems from environmental toxins which are evident in certain pesticides and plastics. This type of synthetic estrogen becomes locked in the liver, making it almost impossible for the body to eliminate is under normal circumstances. Naturally occurring estrogen is usually more evident in overweight women, as it is both manufactured by, and stored in the fat cells.
Looking at ways of reducing estrogen is an excellent way of treating fibroids naturally. To eliminate environmentally induced estrogen, one of the best ways to do this is to undergo a thorough liver detox and there is much information on the internet about the best types to follow. You must ensure that your information comes from a reputable source. Look out for detoxes which include the use of herbs which are specifically known to help cleanse the liver, such as Milk Thistle, Dandelion and Artichoke. You must also ensure that you drink plenty of water to aid the detox. To reduce the levels of naturally occurring estrogen, you must reduce the levels of fat within the body’s cells and realistically this can only be done by following a healthy diet and aiming to get to an acceptable weight.
There are other very helpful ways of treating fibroids naturally, and these include increasing exercise, switching to organic produce wherever possible and applying gentle massage to the area to improve circulation. Heat therapy can also be useful in alleviating symptoms temporarily.
