Has anyone had fibroid that shrunk after using herbal remedies?

After having a scan recently, I was told that I have fibroids which are two inches big. I did some extensive research and came across a website that advises women to use herbal remedies, control their diet and do exercises to reduce them. Has anyone followed that sort of advice and shrunk them? If so, please let me know what natural products you used, which foods to avoid and any exercise that worked for you. I wish to avoid surgery or homone treatments as I hope to have kids sometime in life. Thanks for any input.

You should give yourself a pat on the back for avoiding surgery!!!
The problem with fibroid tumors can simply be resolved by restoring proper progesterone levels, which restores normal growth and shedding of the endometrium.
Recommendations for healing fibroids by Dr. John Lee:
WHAT TO DO:
*Use natural progesterone cream.
*Eat a plant-based, fiber rich diet (at least 20-30g fiber per day)
*Take a liver-supporting and detoxifying herbal formula that includes the following herbs: Bupleurum, milk thistle (silybum marianum), barberry or goldenseal, burdock root, yellow dock, dandelion root. {Green Qi would be great for this}
*Take a uterus-healing herbal formula that includes some or all of the following herbs: myrrh, red raspberry, cayenne, Bupleurum, yarrow, vitex and lady’s mantle (Alchemilla mollis)
*Use a castor oil pack 2-4 times a week (many books on herbal healing have instructions on how to make and use a castor oil pack.)
WHAT TO AVOID:
*Unopposed estrogen
*Dairy products
*Feed-lot meats (eat only range-fed, organic meats free of drugs and pestiside residue)
*Coffee (heavily sprayed with DDT)
Many fibroids will go down on their own. I had one on my ovaries that almost disappeared on its own after becoming so painfully inflamed it put me in the ER. Other types of fibroids never shrink. Herbs have nothing to do with it. I didn’t follow a special diet or exercise plan or use any product. It just went away. I can believe that stress reduction would help but not that other stuff.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee keep in touch with me thru e-mails.Over a year ago I was diagnosed with the worst fibroid uterine tumor they have ever seen,,Iv had extensive tests done.I have not done anything yet because I aslo want to avoid surgery.They say they are too large to laser out.I have been reading the book by Suzanne Sommers called "the sexy years" which talks about bio-identical hormones.Iv also read that surgery is more dangerous than the fibroids themselves.We can work together on this.I am single & in my 40’s. Please get back.
I understand that you fear not being able to have kids, but the longer you delay conventional therapy on your fibroids, the more risk you have of infertility or miscarriage.
I tried the herbal supplements and they worked for awhile. The fibroids didn’t go away but they got smaller.
However you can’t take the supplements when you get pregnant as they threaten the fetus.
When I finally got pregnant, the fibroids grew again with the pregnancy hormones. I had an extremely high risk pregnancy, a very difficult birth and a preterm baby. She had a learning delay from lack of nutrients due to the fibroids.
I was unable to have a full term pregnancy after the birth.
I very strongly urge you to avoid my mistake and have them removed as soon as possible. You may be saving your ability to have children and you will save yourself a lot of heartache.
no but i use herbal remedies to use for my bowel polyps and they have really shrunk them they are ten times smaller than they used to be now i dont have to keep going in hospital to have them removed so i would have a chat to theherbalist to see what they reccomend
Don’t worry about the fibroids. I had fibroids and the doctor gave me some allopathic medication, the fibroids went away. After this I had 2 children. So don’t worry about not being able to reproduce after treatment. What you should be worried about are the herbal treatments because most of them are not scientifically tested and may have side effects.
it does work I’m going through same thing with pcos and its working too
