Question

I have a lump in my left breast which was diagnosed as a fibroid. It hurts at times. Is there anything that can be done to dissolve it

Dr Sujal Patil · Accepted Answer

In Ayurveda, fibrocystic lumps are often considered an imbalance of Kapha and Vata dosha, which can lead to stagnation and tissue buildup. To support the natural dissolution of fibroids, you can consider taking Kanchanar Guggulu, an Ayurvedic formulation known for helping reduce cysts and nodules. Take it twice daily after meals, as it may help to clear toxins and improve lymphatic circulation. Triphala can also be beneficial in gently detoxifying the body; take it at night with warm water.

For external application, gently massage the area with warm castor oil or Mahanarayan Tailam to improve circulation and reduce discomfort. Apply lepa of Moringa powder and include drumsticks in food. Avoid caffeine, fried foods, and dairy, as these may increase Kapha and aggravate the lump. Instead, focus on a balanced, warm diet with plenty of green leafy vegetables and fiber to support detoxification.

However, it’s essential to monitor the lump regularly and stay in touch with your healthcare provider, as well as an Ayurvedic practitioner, for ongoing guidance and to check for any changes in size or pain.

Dr. Harsha Joy · Answer

In Ayurveda, a breast fibroid is often seen as a result of imbalances in the Kapha and Vata doshas, which can lead to the accumulation of tissues and the formation of lumps. The approach focuses on dissolving the fibroid, reducing pain, and improving circulation in the affected area. Herbs like Kanchanar (Bauhinia variegata) and Guggulu (Commiphora mukul) are particularly beneficial as they help in dissolving growths, clearing blockages, and reducing Kapha accumulation. Triphala, a combination of three fruits, is also useful for detoxifying the body and supporting natural tissue health.

Warm compresses with castor oil or medicated oils like Ksheerabala can be applied externally to the lump to relieve pain and inflammation. Regular gentle breast massage with warm sesame or ashwagandha oil can further enhance circulation and promote healing. Dietary modifications are also recommended, avoiding heavy, oily, or cold foods that aggravate Kapha. Favoring warm, light, and easily digestible foods can help maintain a balanced system. Additionally, regular physical activity and practicing yogic postures like Ustrasana (camel pose) and Dhanurasana (bow pose) can enhance circulation and improve overall breast health.
