they are not interfering with any other medications you may be taking or have taken in the past. Try:
- Vitex or Chasteberry (400 milligrams, 2 times daily) For best results, Vitex should be taken for at least six months.
- Fish Oil (1,000 milligrams daily) or Flaxseed Oil (1 tablespoon daily)
- B-complex (50 milligrams daily)
- Progesterone Cream (1/4 teaspoon, days 6–26 of a cycle)
- Milk Thistle (150 milligrams, 2 times daily)
Try Castor Oil Packs
Castor oil contains an anti-inflammatory compound called ricinoleic acid. A 2011 study showed that castor oil packs can help improve detoxification and decrease symptoms associated with constipation.
Apply a castor oil pack to your abdomen to increase circulation in the lymphatic and circulatory systems and also increase lymphocytes which are white blood cells that eliminate disease-causing toxins from the body. Many holistic practitioners believe a buildup of toxins plays an important part in fibroid development.
Exercise
According to a study, the more women exercise, the less likely they are to get uterine fibroids. Exercise helps create the circulation of blood flow, control blood pressure, can help improve insulin sensitivity, is beneficial for weight management, and may contribute to hormonal balance.
