Every year thousands of American women hear the frightening diagnosis of fibroids in their uterus. This is a terrifying diagnosis for any woman, partially because many woman don’t know much about uterine fibroids, and partially because doctors often recommend radical treatments such as prescription drugs and surgery. Scary as it sounds, and is, it is important that you know that a diagnosis of fibroids in your uterus is not the end of the world.

There are many alternative therapies available to you to treat them naturally that many women have found successful. The first thing women diagnosed with uterine fibroids must do is educate themselves. It is important to understand what exactly uterine fibroids are and what causes them. With an understanding of what you are dealing with, you can make an informed decision regarding the treatment and healing of the fibroids in your uterus.

Uterine fibroids are growths that occur in a woman’s uterus. These growths are made up of smooth muscle tissue. Many women have fibroids, but since a majority of them are small in size and don’t cause any problems, most women are unaware they even have them. Unpleasant symptoms only arise when the fibroids grow too large or grow in particular places in the uterus.

Symptoms of fibroids in the uterus may vary. Many women experience bloating and discomfort, or appear pregnant. Two other symptoms, the ones that attract the most attention and cause women to seek medical attention, are intense pain and abnormal bleeding. Unusually heavy periods, such as bleeding for seven days or more, or spotting in between periods, are examples of abnormal bleeding in women.

Fibroids in the uterus are a complication for women who are trying to get pregnant. Fibroids can block the fallopian tube and thus prevent fertilization. Fibroids located near the uterine lining can prevent sperm from implanting the egg, or can cause miscarriages. Fibroids of especially large size can make getting pregnant difficult due simply to the sheer bulk of the tumor.

There are many possible explanations for what causes abnormal fibroid growth in the first place, and there is a considerable amount of debate over this. I have found in my experiences that exposure to high levels of toxins are the largest cause of serious fibroids, fibroids that cause the most intense and unpleasant symptoms.

These toxins are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens are artificial chemicals similar in structure to estrogen, which is found naturally in the body. Many pesticides that are sprayed over fruits and vegetables contain xenoestrogen chemicals. Other sources of these harmful chemicals are household products, pharmaceutical drugs, cosmetics and non-organic meat and dairy. In my experiences with clients, I’ve found that by switching to organic foods and to natural cosmetics and household products, women have noticed an improvement in symptoms and even a stop or decline in fibroid growth.

Detoxing your system of xenoestrogen can provide relief from the problems caused by fibroids. The most effective method of detoxing your body is called body cleansing. This involves consuming herbs to cleanse the colon, liver and kidneys. These will rid these organs of toxins that are causing your body harm. The body cleansing kit that I recommend lasts 28 days, and all of my clients have noticed a different within a week’s use.

During the detox period, you can begin balancing your hormones with natural herbs. FibroidClear is an organic herbal supplement that helps to reduce fibroid size and assists the body in balancing estrogen and progesterone levels. In addition, FibroidClear can reduce instances of uterine spasms and abnormal bleeding.  

As was previously mentioned, consuming organic foods is a way to avoid toxins. Superfood vegetables are another example of a food that helps to shrink fibroids. These vegetables provide the body with nutrients that help heal fibroids, rebuild the blood lost from abnormal bleeding, and safely remove harmless substances. I personally have found that products such as AlkaGreens Plus, which offer the abovementioned natural foods in a concentrated form, can greatly assist the process of shrinking your fibroids quickly.

These natural approaches to treating fibroids in the uterus have absolutely no unpleasant side effects, unlike alternative methods such as drugs and surgery. In fact, those who utilize these natural methods will notice improvement in a matter of weeks.
