Fibroids! Now What?
Approximately 60%-80% of women experience fibroids so please know you are not alone. Uterine fibroids are non cancerous growths in the uterus. Fibroids are believed to be not life threatening however can cause: heavy menstural bleeding, pelvic pain, constipation, back aches, infertility, frequent urination among others. Some women who have fibroids have no symptoms at all.
Depending on the severity of your symptoms and how much the fibroids have grown, your fibroids may be treated naturally. These natural treatments may include weight loss and proper nutrition. Several studies have shown that excess weight and obesity increase the risk for fibroids. Fat cells make oestrogen which can increase cell growth. The more fat cells, the more oestrogen is produced and the greater the risk for fibroids. Removing some foods from your diet could help, such as :
- Red Meat
- Alcohol
- Sugar
There are plenty of herbs and practices that have traditionally been used for fibroids in Jamaica. We're happy to share some with you and wish you well in your journey:
Castor Oil Packs:
The goal is to use raw organic natural castor oil. My grandaunt says "if it doesn't come from the farm it's not good" and we stand by that recommendation. Get your raw castor oil directly from a farmer or from a company that sources from farmers. Use this oil to make castor oil packs and use nightly.
Herbal Teas:
ZnayOrganics offers herbal tea blends. Bitter teas such as CERESEE herbs are said to be blood purifiers and aid in cleansing your body of toxins which can aid in the shrinking of fibroids. Our most sold herb remains our WOMB CLEANSE HERB which as the name suggests is used to cleanse your entire womb. Ensure you are consistent with your teas.
