Yeah with the proper treatment you can shrink your fibroids, and you can avoid even surgery
Reducing fibroid size through Ayurveda is possible, but it requires a comprehensive approach integrating diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. Intramural fibroids, particularly of the size you mentioned, though challenging demands careful management rather than immediate surgical intervention in many cases. Here’s a breakdown that could help address your concerns.
First, let’s consider your diet. Aim to follow a Vata-Pitta pacifying diet focusing on warm, cooked meals. Favor easily digestible foods like rice and mung dal, and incorporate vegetables like pumpkin and sweet potato. Avoid processed foods, red meat, and excess sugar, as they can contribute to imbalances and aggravate fibroid growth. You might find it beneficial to include turmeric and ginger in your meals due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
Hydration remains vital, so drink lukewarm water throughout the day. It’s preferable over cold water, as it aids digestion and supports detoxification pathways. Herbal teas with ingredients like turmeric or ashwagandha can also help balance your doshas.
Ayurvedic herbs like Ashoka, Shatavari, and Guggul have been traditionally used to manage fibroids, offering potential benefits by balancing hormones and supporting the uterine health. I recommend consulting an experienced Ayurveda specialist to get personalized herbal combinations and dosages tailored to your Prakriti and current state.
Furthermore, regular physical activity, such as yoga, can be highly effective. Poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (reclining bound angle pose) and Viparita Karani (legs-up-the-wall pose) may be beneficial for enhancing blood circulation to the pelvis and reducing fibroid size under proper guidance.
Meditation and pranayama exercises aid in stress management, crucial since stress can disrupt hormonal balance. Try nadi shodhana or alternate nostril breathing daily.
It’s essential to maintain ongoing consultation with your gynecologist alongside these measures to monitor the fibroid status. In certain cases, while Ayurveda can significantly reduce symptoms and control growth, surgical evaluation could be necessary if no improvement is observed.
Every treatment is tailored uniquely, so professional guidance will ensure the safest and most effective approach for your situation.
