Hello I get how stressed you must be hearing you might need surgery, especially when you’re thinking about having kids. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊 YOUR CONCERN AND AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING So, you’ve got a few fibroids on the outside of your uterus (they’re called sub-serosal). The biggest one is about 5 x 4 cm, and the others are around 2.5 x 2.5 cm. In Ayurveda, we call this Garbhashaya Granthi / Mamsaja Arbuda. Basically, it’s because: – Your Kapha and Meda (that’s fat tissue) are up – Vata is stuck in your uterus – Your Agni (metabolism) isn’t doing so great – You’ve got toxins hanging around All this mess causes weird tissue to grow in your uterus. Can Ayurveda Help Shrink These Things? Yes! These kinds of fibroids usually respond well since they’re on the outside. It’s easier to fix the blood flow, plus they tend to get smaller when we fix your hormones and circulation. It’ll take some time and effort – like 6–12 months of doing things right. INTERNAL MEDICATION 1. Kanchanar Guggulu: Two tablets, twice a day after your food This helps shrink the fibroids, clears out the bad tissue, and calms down estrogen. 2. Varunadi Kashayam: Mix 15 ml with 15 ml of warm water, drink twice a day before food This helps with drainage and breaks down the yucky tissue. 3. Ashokarishta: Mix 20 ml with the same amount of water after food Keeps your uterus happy, balances those hormones, and helps with fertility. 4. Triphala Guggulu: Two tablet at night. Cleans out your uterus and chills out the Kapha-Meda. Super Important: Healing from the Inside Grab some castor oil, warm it up, soak a cloth in it, and put it on your lower belly for 20 minutes, five nights a week. This softens the fibroids, gets the blood moving, and helps shrink them. What Should I Eat?AVOID – Milk, cheese, paneer – Sugar, baked stuff – Anything fried – Soya – Cold stuff ✅ INCLUDE – Green veggies – Papaya – Moringa – Garlic – Turmeric – Warm cooked food Only drink warm water. Yoga Moves Do these every day: – Baddha Konasana – Malasana – Bhujangasana – Pranayama (Anulom-Vilom) Don’t do: – Tough workouts – Jumping – HIIT Can U Get Pregnant? Once the fibroids are smaller than 3 cm, it’s a better environment for getting pregnant. You’re not too late! You can deal with these fibroids without surgery. You just need to stick with the Ayurvedic plan for 6–8 months. Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Kanchnar guggul and kanchnar bark powder are same? Or same effect? And body is warm in nature .so these medicines can be taken? Coz few medicines I tried which increases heat but started head burning from top

No, they’re different. Kanchanar Bark Powder – Just one herb (Bauhinia variegata bark) – Gentle – Cooling and astringent – Works slowly – Usually okay for people who run hot Kanchanar Guggulu – A mix of stuff – Strong – Warming, drying, detoxifying – Works fast – Can cause heat, burning, and dryness Kanchanar Guggulu contains: – Kanchanar – Guggulu (warming) – Trikatu (ginger, pepper, pippali – super warming) – Triphala So, Kanchanar Guggulu is WAY hotter than Kanchanar bark by itself. Your body type: Runs Warm/Gets Hot Easily You already mentioned: Some medicines make me feel hot and give me a burning head. That’s a sign of Pitta going wild. So, for you: – Kanchanar Guggulu – Trikatu – Guggulu – Warming detox stuff → Will make things worse → Headaches from heat → Burning scalp → Crankiness → Acid reflux → Trouble sleeping So, should you take Kanchanar Guggulu? No, probably not a good idea. If you’re a warm-bodied/pitta person, it can: – Shrink lumps, sure, BUT – Cause nerve burning, brain overheating, acidity, and anxiety So even if the lump gets smaller, you might feel awful. What can you use instead? If you need help with your lymphatic system, cysts, fibroids, glands, or swelling, but you’re sensitive to heat: Use Kanchanar Bark Powder (NOT Guggulu) Dose: ½ tsp morning and evening with coriander water or milk This will: – Help with cysts – Help with tumors – Without making you overheat For Head Burning/Heat Add: – Praval Pishti 125 mg twice a day – Shatavari 500 mg twice a day These protect your brain and nerves from heat damage. Why does your head burn on top? That means: Pitta + Vata rising to your brain (very common when people take strong Ayurvedic medicines the wrong way) The Bottom Line If you run warm: –Skip Kanchanar Guggulu – Skip Trikatu – Skip warming detoxes – Use single herbs – Use cooling stuff to take them with –Use herbs that protect your nerves

They are NOT the same, and they do not act the same. Kanchanar Guggulu: strong + heating (contains guggulu & trikatu) → ❌ not good for warm body / head burning In that case u can take Kanchanar bark powder: single herb, milder, less heating → safe for u

HELLO, HELLO, WHAT ARE FIBROIDS? -Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus -They form due to imbalance of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and disturbed metabolism -In Ayurveda, they are considered as granthi (knots or lumps) formed due to kapha (growth, heaviness), vata (movement, irregularity) and pitta (bleeding , inflammation) imbalance THEY MAY CAUSE -heavy or prolonged periods -pain during menses -pressure in abdomen, bloating -anemia due to blood loss -sometimes no symptoms at all YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM= UTERINE FRIBOID TREATMENT GOALS -shrink or stabilize fibroid size (slow growth ,prevent recurrence) -reduce symptoms- heavy bleeding, pain, anemia ,pressure -correct hormonal imbalance -purify blood and metabolism -strengthen uterus -improve overall vitality and prevent surgery if possible INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =breaks down fibroid mass, reduces kapha growths 2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =balances menstrual cycle, controls heavy bleeding, strengthen uterus 3) PUNARNAVADI MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces swelling, improves blood quality, prevents anemia 4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =detoxifies, improves digestion, regulates metabolism 5) ALOE VERA JUICE= 20 ml on empty stomach in morning =supports liver function, regulates hormones 6) TURMERIC + BLACK PEPPER POWDER= 1/2 tsp daily in warm milk =anti inflammatory, anti tumor effect DURATION= usually 3-6 months DIET -old rice, barley, wheat, horse gram -bitter vegetables= bitter gourd, neem leaves, fenugreek -pomegranate, apple, papaya, figs, raisins -spices= turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cumin -cow’s ghee in small amount -warm water and herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, coriander seed AVOID -excess dairy (especially cheese, panner) , red meat -packaged food, white flour, sugar -fermented food, bakery, cold drinks, ice cream -heavy , oily, deep fried items -late night eating YOGA ASANAS -supta baddha konasana -setu bandhasana -bhujangasana -balasana -pawanmuktasana -viparita karani PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances hormones -Bhramari= calms stress -Kapalbhati= improves metabolism HOME REMEDIES -warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen, 20 min 2-3 times a week -coriander seed water= soak overnight, drink in morning- reduces heavy bleeding -cumin + fennel tea= improves digestion, reduces bloating -aloe vera + turmeric paste (external application on lower abdomen)- reduces inflammation Repeat ultrasound after 3 months -Fibrods are common . many women live with them without surgery -Ayurveda offers a holistic approach : correcting digestion, balancing hormones, detoxifying body, shrinking growths, and strengthening uterus -commitment to regular medicines, diet, yoga, and follow up is important -If fibroids are very large or symtpoms are severe (continuous heavy bleeding, severe anemia, compression on bladder/bowel), surgery may become necessary for saety DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFPUL THANK YOU DR.

34.No such symptoms due to fibroids Trying to conceive this is but one of the major issue for us

How about menstrual cycle ? Is it regular? Flow ?? Married life ? Since how long you are trying for conception? Previously conceived? Any tests done before? How are your blood sugars ?weight ? How is your physical activity/appetite/sleep/stress/bowel habit ?? Like thyroid profile/Amh/Lh /Fsh ?? My advice would be first to reduce the size of fibroids once the size reduction is seen can take treatment for conception
