00:00hello today's topic is uterine fibroids
00:03fibroids are non-cancerous
00:05tumors of the uterine walls and they're
00:09extremely common even though not many
00:10people actually know about them or talk
00:13about them but up to 75 percent of women
00:16will experience fibroids at some point
00:19in their life that's why I think it's
00:21very important to cover this topic in
00:24the hormonal balance series and by the
00:26way this is actually the last video all
00:28this series so symptoms of fibroids can
00:31be things like excessive bleeding
00:33bleeding between periods pain during
00:38frequent frequent urination or so kind
00:42of pressure bloating and pain in the
00:44lower belly and also lower back pain but
00:48surprisingly some women might not have
00:50any symptoms at all but fibroids would
00:52still be there if you want to know how
00:55to prevent or shrink fibroids then keep
00:58watching first thing to cover here is
01:00diet what you eat is so incredibly
01:03important for your oral health including
01:06your hormone balance and the fibroids
01:09because fibroids thrive on
01:12disrupted hormonal balance and diet is
01:15really the best tool for that so in
01:17terms of diet is important to eat of
01:19course homemade natural food fresh food
01:22no processed food or limited as much as
01:25possible it's important to eat a lot of
01:28fiber because fiber is what gets rid of
01:31excess estrogen and helps you have a
01:33good hormonal balance so fiber would be
01:35things like legumes whole grains
01:41fruit and green leafy vegetables so you
01:45need to get a lot of those and they
01:46should really constitute the majority of
01:48your diet meat of course is very good
01:51and very nutritious but you need to be
01:52mindful not to eat too much of it and
01:54also especially in terms of red meat is
01:57very important to have really good
02:00quality meat because meat full of
02:02hormones steroids and all kinds of
02:05chemicals will actually be detrimental
02:08it's very important to also minimize the
02:11sugar consumption because sugar is
02:13highly inflammatory and it also raises
02:15your insulin levels message of blood
02:18sugar levels and can also increase a
02:20weight and increase weight is actually
02:22highly linked to fibroid growth
02:24consuming excess alcohol can also fuel
02:27fibroid growth so be very mindful of how
02:31much alcohol you consume every single
02:33day and also caffeine caffeine in small
02:36amounts coffee can actually be
02:38beneficial I believe however so many of
02:41us try to make up for too much stress
02:44and too much fatigue by consuming too
02:47many stimulants such as coffee
02:48throughout the day and that can be
02:50really bad for your hormonal health the
02:52next most important thing to look into
02:54is your hormonal balance because when
02:56your hormones are out of balance that's
02:58really went for fibroids grow and they
03:01mostly grow in your 30s and 40s which is
03:05when you're most likely to become
03:07estrogen dominance because that's when
03:10but just your own production starts
03:12reproducing but estrogen is still high
03:15so I actually made a video about that
03:17about estrogen dominance what it is how
03:20to diagnose it and another video about
03:22how to treat estrogen dominance so
03:25definitely check them out it's very
03:28important to raise progesterone levels
03:30if they are too low as well and then as
03:32I said also very common especially from
03:34the age of 40 I made a video about this
03:36topic and this and any other relevant
03:39video I'll leave it linked down in the
03:42description box so just open it up now
03:44talking about supplements or herbs that
03:46can be really helpful when it comes to
03:49fibroid shrinking and preventing the
03:52first thing they start to mention is the
03:54v-tex herb also calls called chase prey
03:57it's incredibly effective is the first
04:01thing I will personally try if I had
04:02fibroids it really helps improve the
04:06production of progesterone and also
04:08balance the levels of estrogen so if
04:10your estrogen dominant is fantastic the
04:13next supplement that can will help if
04:14your estrogen levels are high is dim but
04:19one thing to mention here is that you
04:22really need to get your levels checked
04:23before trying it because if your levels
04:26are already normal or even on the lower
04:28side you can actually send them
04:30seriously too low with a supplement this
04:32supplement is not a joke with its real
04:34potent so make sure that you check your
04:37levels before trying and do is to write
04:39from cruciferous vegetables which by the
04:41way are incredibly healthy for you in
04:44order to shrink fibroids so things like
04:47broccoli cauliflower are incredibly good
04:49for you the omega-3 fats are very very
04:52good for shrinking fibroids but I'm
04:55personally not a fan of fish oil or poly
04:59the oil epa DHA oils i think that we can
05:04get enough of them from fish seafood of
05:06course wild freshly caught from clean
05:10oceans and seas and things like flax
05:13seeds that have plant based omega-3
05:16version also be vitamins but again I'm
05:18not a fan of B complexes or any B
05:20vitamins apart for maybe b6 + b6 by the
05:24way is very very important for
05:26progesterone production so definitely
05:28something to look into but overall if
05:30you want to get more of B vitamins the
05:33best sources to get them from food are
05:35bee pollen and liver especially bee flew
05:39another incredible food source of all
05:43the nutrients that can help you shrink
05:45fibroids is blackstrap molasses I
05:47mentioned it as so many videos already
05:49but it's because it's truly a
05:51nutritional powerhouse it's so so so
05:53helpful it's one of the main natural
05:56remedies really if you look on any
05:59articles you will see it mentioned
06:02pretty much anywhere because it's
06:03extremely extremely helpful and then
06:06another thing to look into is natural
06:08progesterone cream I would personally
06:11not try it before trying mythix but if
06:14after six months of mythix your
06:16progesterone is still too low then there
06:18is the option of natural progesterone
06:20cream especially if you are closer
06:22towards menopause or if you in
06:26perimenopause it can actually be
06:28extremely helpful another thing to look
06:30into is liver cleansing homes because
06:34liver is what gets rid of any excess
06:37unnecessary estrogen so it's very
06:39important to have good liver function
06:41for that reason and many other reasons
06:43but here we're talking about excessive
06:46estrogen so it's really really helpful
06:48and in terms of those herbs there are
06:51things like milk thistle which is
06:53probably the most famous one and it's
06:54really really effective my personal
06:57favorite is this supplement from
06:59planetory her boss called poplin book
07:03later on I don't know how to pronounce
07:04that it's a Chinese herb liver cleanse
07:06and it's very very helpful for hormonal
07:10balance for clear skin for better liver
07:12function I absolutely love this
07:13supplement there's also that the lion
07:16wood which is really good for liver and
07:18you can have it as a tea or you can buy
07:20a powdered supplement in a capsule the
07:23next thing that I feel I must mention is
07:25minimizing toxins in your environment in
07:30switching to natural makeup skincare
07:33haircare body care natural cleaning
07:36materials natural laundry detergents
07:38everything around your so natural
07:41fabrics as much as possible or even
07:42organic cotton if it's available and
07:45affordable where you are
07:47anything that you do in that field can
07:50really help lower the estrogen load in
07:53your body the next thing is exercising
07:55it's extremely good for your overall
07:57health and for your hormonal balance it
08:00helps you reduce cortisol levels it
08:02reduces inflammation
08:03reduces blood pressure which by the way
08:06is linked to fibroid growth as well so
08:08exercising is so good for you for so
08:10many different reasons and studies have
08:12shown that women who exercise the most
08:15the least likely to grow fibroids
08:18however it's important not to overdo
08:21just as always moderation is key so make
08:24sure you don't go Train birth control
08:26pills are actually very much linked to
08:29fibroid growth as well so if you're
08:32currently still taking bath your pills
08:34definitely considers when she's
08:36switching to a more natural birth
08:38control method I've made a video about
08:40the birth control method that I use
08:43personally we've just called the
08:45fertility awareness method I also made a
08:47video about the dangers of birth control
08:50pills they're just so evil for so many
08:53different ways but if you are fibroids
08:55it's extremely extremely important to
08:58get often and one final remedy that has
09:01been mentioned in literally every single
09:03source I found is castor oil packs
09:06apparently caster is very very helpful
09:09for shrinking fibroids and castor oil
09:12packs are also very well known for their
09:15limit cleansing abilities all you need
09:18to do is just soak flannel in castor oil
09:21place it on your lower abdomen and then
09:24cover it with a cling film put a hot
09:27water bottle on top of it and then cover
09:29with a towel to trap the once in and
09:32stay like that for an hour it's
09:34recommended to do it three to four times
09:36a week for a month or as long as
09:38necessary until your symptoms go away
09:40and that's supposed to really really
09:43really help so here we go these are all
09:45the natural remedies that can help you
09:46prevent or shrink uterine fibroids I
09:49really hope that you found this
09:50interesting and helpful as I said this

09:56balance series I hope that you enjoyed
