Uterine fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumors, affecting 60% of reproductive-aged women. They grow inside the cavity, walls, or on the outside of the uterus. Surgery or medications are often required to treat symptoms of uterine fibroids, but can cause complications. It is possible to shrink uterine fibroids naturally and relieve symptoms with the application of Chinesemedicine and dietary changes.

Chinese Medicine for Fibroids

According to Chinese medicine, uterine fibroids are caused by poor circulation through the reproductive system. Acupuncture improves circulation throughout the body and the reproductive system to clear stagnant blood and keep the body revitalized and healthy.

Chinese herbal medicine is also prescribed to shrink fibroids, either alongside or independent of an acupuncture regimen. Many Chinese herbs have anti-inflammatory properties that work to reduce fibroid size and ease pain.

They have a measured effect at lowering progesterone levels thought to cause uterine fibroids.

They also increase circulation to keep the reproductive system supplied with healthy blood and reduce the length and heaviness of periods.
