Treat Your fibroids with Traditional Kerala Ayurveda

While Ayurveda may not be the primary or definitive treatment for fibroids, it offers holistic approaches that can complement conventional medical care and potentially manage associated symptoms. Here’s a closer look at some key Ayurvedic options:

Internal Cleansing and Detoxification:

• Panchakarma: These specialized detoxification therapies (Virechana, Basti) aim to eliminate ama (toxins) believed to contribute to fibroid growth and hormonal imbalances.
• Blood Purifying Herbs: Neem, turmeric, guduchi, and manjishtha possess blood-purifying properties, reducing inflammation and supporting overall uterine health.

• Dietary Adjustments:

  • Avoid: Kapha and Vata-aggravating foods like cold, heavy, oily, fermented, and dairy products.
  • Consume: Warming, grounding, and Kapha-reducing foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, ghee, and spices like ginger and turmeric.
  • Follow a Sattvic diet: This emphasizes fresh, wholesome, and easily digestible foods, promoting overall well-being and reducing inflammation.

  Herbal Remedies:

  • Internal Use: Herbs like Ashoka, Lodhra, Kanchanara Guggulu, and Shigru Guggulu possess anti-inflammatory and fibroid-shrinking properties. However, use them only under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner due to potential interactions with medications and dosage considerations.
  • Topical Application: Pastes containing turmeric, neem, and sandalwood may be applied externally to the abdomen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Consult your doctor before trying any topical remedies.
