Home treatment to shrink fibroids are a safe and natural way to help yourself when you have received a diagnosis of benign fibroids.
Many women suffer with fibroids and providing they are not life-threatening, home treatment is a great starting point and may help you avoid a worsening in your symptoms or the need for invasive treatment in the future.
Although it is difficult to isolate the causes of fibroids in an individual, the range of likely causes is linked to estrogen excess, your diet, insulin resistance, a build up of toxins in the liver and lack of exercise.
Although often painful and uncomfortable, the good news is that fibroids are rarely dangerous and this gives women the scope to try natural treatment rather than resorting immediately to surgery or hormonal treatment.
Herbal treatment, symptomatic remedies, liver detoxification and dietary changes can be used as home treatment to shrink fibroids.
Herbs such as dandelion, milk thistle or red clover can be very helpful as can vitex and chasteberry.
In terms of your diet, this is probably the biggest change you can make and will have the most impact.
Start by eating what you know to be the basis of a healthy diet-plenty of nuts, beans and seeds, at least 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily and small amounts of lean, organic meat.
You should also ensure you drink plenty of filtered water.
Castor oil packs, heat treatment and massage are good for home treatment to shrink fibroids.
There is some evidence to suggest that components in the warm castor oil will pass through the skin and help to dissolve the fibroid tissue.
Although unproven, there is much anecdotal evidence.
