Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids are noncancerous tumors. They may grow undetected in the uterus because of its unnoticeable symptoms. Larger fibroids may require immediate medical attention such as surgery. But smaller fibroids can be shrunk and treated at home. By using essential oils, you can now eliminate unwanted, growing tumors for a healthier life!
Essential Oils
Frankincense oil is one of the most effective essential oils for treating uterine fibroids. This essential oil provides balance to your hormones and can lower your cortisol levels. It can also maintain the overall health of your reproductive system and can stimulate your endocrine system.
To use frankincense oil, here are a few tricks to try:
- Put one to two drops under your tongue and on the roof of your mouth every morning and night.
- Mix two to three drops of said oil with a half teaspoon of carrier oil. And then massage it to your abdomen twice daily.
- Apply three to five drops to the soles of your feet each morning and night. It is better to cover it with socks to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness.
Clary sage essential oil is also proven effective for shrinking unwanted uterine fibroids. The clary sage plant contains phytoestrogens or “dietary estrogens” that are not naturally found in the endocrine system. Its oil can also regulate your estrogen levels to normal because excessive estrogen can lead to ovarian and uterine cancers.
By using one hundred percent clary sage essential oil, you can:
- Add three to five drops to a warm bath water. This helps soothe your skin and improve your mood because of your estrogen levels.
- Mix two to three drops to your fruit juice/smoothies or herbal tea to relieve inflammation from the growing tumor.
- Instill two to three drops to an essential oil burner mixture. This will provide soothing aromatherapy that can decrease stress due to hormonal levels.
Castor oil, dubbed the handiest medicinal oil, alleviates pain caused by abdominal tumors and uterine fibroids in women. Since the prehistoric times, castor oil has been used commonly used for keeping the reproductive system healthy. It’s also good for cleansing the gut (colon). Its strong healing properties proved to be generally safe and effective to be included in certain modern drugs.
To alleviate pain and completely reduce the size of your leiomyoma, you can do castor oil massages. This is the most popular way of using castor oil for fibroid issues in women. Before doing the steps, test a small area in your abdomen with a minimal amount of castor oil to identify allergic reactions.
To use castor oil packs:
- Simply soak a flannel or any piece of towel with castor oil. Quickly massage it to your abdomen, focusing on the lower part just above the pubic area.
- Then, enclose a heating pad with the flannel and let it rest on your lower abdomen for 45 minutes. The lower region (liver, uterus, spleen) of your belly can absorb the warm castor oil and will decrease the pain caused by the tumors.
