For managing uterine fibroids, especially in the context of being at menopausal age, an Ayurvedic approach focuses on balancing hormones and reducing the size of the fibroids. Begin with herbal remedies such as Ginger and Turmeric, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce fibroid size; incorporate these into your daily diet or take them in supplement form. Ashokarishta, an Ayurvedic formulation made from the Ashoka tree, is traditionally used to support women's reproductive health and may help in managing fibroids. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) can also be beneficial for hormonal balance and uterine health. Additionally, Guggul has been shown to help in reducing fatty tissue, which may be beneficial for fibroid management. It is essential to maintain a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while avoiding processed foods, excess sugar, and red meat, which can exacerbate symptoms. Regular physical activity, stress management techniques such as yoga and meditation, and adequate hydration will further support overall health. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan is crucial, especially considering your long-term experience with fibroids, as they can guide you on the right dosages and combinations of herbs tailored to your specific needs.

Namaste. Given your history with uterine fibroids and approaching menopause, Ayurveda offers a gentle approach to manage fibroids by balancing the doshas and supporting hormonal transition. Uterine fibroids are often linked to aggravated kapha and vata doshas, which can lead to tissue accumulation and imbalances in the reproductive system. The goal in Ayurveda is to gradually reduce the fibroid's impact and provide symptomatic relief.
Herbs such as Ashoka and Kanchanar Guggulu are traditionally recommended for fibroid management. Ashoka is known for its beneficial effects on the female reproductive system, helping to balance hormones and support uterine health. Kanchanar Guggulu, a combination of Kanchanar bark and Guggulu, is often used in Ayurveda to reduce abnormal growths and support lymphatic drainage. Taking these under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner can be beneficial for managing fibroid size and symptoms.
Lifestyle and diet are also critical. Since fibroids are influenced by kapha, following a light, warming diet can help reduce kapha buildup. Avoiding dairy, processed foods, and excessive salt can support uterine health. Favor warm, cooked foods, and include spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper, which aid in metabolism and help reduce inflammation.
Gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can support reproductive health, reduce stress, and promote circulation, aiding in fibroid management. Poses like Malasana (garland pose) and Baddha Konasana (bound angle pose) may support pelvic health and hormonal balance when practiced regularly.

Hey, dealing with uterine fibroids at your stage, when menopause is around the corner, let's talk about Ayurveda's perspective. Fibroids kinda link to kapha dosha imbalances, plus some vata dosha confusion. Now, with menopausal age, the body's heading into a vata phase naturally, so it's a bit of a balancing act.
Dietary-wise, think warm, cooked foods - avoid the raw, cold stuff. Cook with spices like turmeric and ginger, which are great. They help maintain agni or digestive fire to keep things moving smoothly. Dense, fibrous stuff, we'd typically want to cut down; instead, go for lighter, easily digestible meals.
Herbs, you could look into Ashoka, it's well-known in Ayurveda for women's health issues. Ashoka not only manages the kapha but helps strengthen reproductive tissues. You’d wanna have it as a decoction - a teaspoon boiled in water once a day. Or there's Varuna, which can help reduce the size of fibroids, dosed at about 1 to 2 grams of its bark powder with warm water.
I'd also suggest incorporating yoga or light exercises if you’re not already doing that. It can improve prana flow, lowering stress levels, helping to shift imbalances.
Now, with any chronic issue like this, consistency is key, but don't wait around if unusual symptoms pop up – pain or rapid changes? Definitely seek medical advice pronto. And always check in with a professional before starting any herbal based treatments to align with your overall health, alright?
It's a journey but take one step with calmness and and things might just balance out over time.
