Herbal Remedies for Uterine Fibroids

There are, surprisingly, several herbal remedies that can help to relieve the pain of fibroids. In addition, some professional herbalist say that certain herbs can even dissolve fibroids, because they are rich in a variety of phytonutrients.

Some herbalist recommend using herbal remedies that help to improve the strength of the liver, which helps to metabolize estrogen, resulting in a reduction of the size of the fibroids. Milk thistle seed, which has recently been found to
be an excellent remedy for liver problems, is one such herb. Try grinding about two tablespoons per day of fresh milk thistle (the whole herb), and using it to garnish your salads, cereals, and other dishes.

Yellow dock is another herb recommended for treating fibroids. It's a well known detoxifying herb, that can support healthy liver function by stimulating the flow of bile. It has also been reported by some people to have a mild laxative affect.

Marjoram, which is well known as a herbal sedative, can help to relieve the painful uterine cramps that accompany fibroids. Marjoram is also an effective muscle relaxant, that can be applied as a massage oil to the abdominal area. It can also provide relief from constipation.
