Multiple Remedies for Fibroids and Blood Loss Elisabeth from Germany (Munich) on 04/27/2025
I am thankfull for your comments and earthclinic-initiative. So I like to contribute the following:
As many women I am suffering from uterusmyoma, specially extremly heavy bloodloss. All myoma are intramural, instead of 70 g the uterus is already 700 g with multiple myoma (7-9 cm the biggest ones)
The most important thing I learned about is substituting the iron and mineral loss. This is the first and livesaving thing to do and it wins you the necessary time for diet changes, medication etc.
Gynaecologists are often unaware, but one can count the monthly amount (with moon cup or large tampon 12-15 ml, extra large tampon 15-18 ml, completely full, half full etc.) Normal and absolut maximum are 80 ml/whole period. If it's more it is hypermenorrhagia and a sign for myoma (or other gyn-probs).
With this you can count the amount of iron you need to supply, the bloodloss : 2 = ironloss, because there are more ingredients in it, not only iron. You need also check your blood (transferrin, ferrin, iron) to know your status and neither to under- nor to oversupplement.There are countingmachines on the internet, outgoing from ferrin/transferrin (current) to wished ferrin status etc. to find the amount that fits you.
To my experience doctors heavily undersupplement. In my worst months I lost 390 ml periodblood, so if one takes only 15 mg iron with 1-2 % absorption rate this leads automatically to anaemia and ironinfusions (which can lead to severe health problems like anaphylactic shock).
So I decided on ironbisglycinat, because it has a higher absorption of 10-20% according clinical studies and dosages of 100-300 mg a day (depending on the monthly blood loss, brand vitabay). I intake these with vitamin c in time released form plus bitter herbs last before sleep without any stomach problems. In the morning would be also possible.
What doctors also ignore is that the body needs a lot more than iron to create blood, so check on supplements like magnesium, Vitamin B12, Folat, Vitamin A. Vit. A deficiency can simply be checked by touching the skin of your upper arms, if the skin is little rough with small peppels you most probably need Vitamin A like I did.
Eat healthy with high mineral and iron rich foods like nettles, green legumes, nuts, carots etc. to minimize mineral loss.
Next step is urgently reducing the blood loss which I am working on since several months. Hormon problems generally need several cycles to harmonize, so one needs patience.
I try all I know together, which are proven by clinical studies, recommended by naturopaths, other women with myoma etc. so these possible remedies are:
+ greentee extract with black pepper (EGCG) 3x/day (tigovit brand) plus bio curcuma (6g/day in water, meals with little fat) to reduce myoma & inflammation
+ Berberis/Uterus complex 3x15 globuli (Wala brand) to reduce myoma
+ natural progesteron of yams after ovulation (depends on age and hormon status, I am 46 years, so premenopaus, 20% did not work out for me, so 60-80% Vitabay brand) to reduce oestrogendominance, thus stop myomagrowth
+ teamixture daily to reduce blood loss, cleanse the uterus and harmonize hormon levels (please translate with google from German to your languahe/english): Brennesselblätter, Blutwurz, Edelgamander, Frauenmantel, Hirtentäschel, Mistelkraut, Schafgarbe, Silbermantelkraut, Ackerschachtelhalm plus during menstruation: Eichenrinde.
There is a known german naturophat (in German: Heilpraktiker) called Margaret Madjewsky, if you google her plus "Myom" there pops up an article (in German so google translate will be a help) on all her recommended methods treating myoma (I wrote about the ones I chose for myself above)
I switched one year ago to a vegan diet regularly including natural soj products like tofu, drinking water from glas flasks (no plastic if possible), quit sugar, transfats, processed food. I lost overweight (15 kilos) which is necessary to reduce the overproduction of oestrogen by changing diet and the help of an ayurvedic practicioner/ ayurvedic herbal remedies WITHOUT moving or more sports, thus it became easy.
Thanxxs for the blackstrap molasses plus ACV recommendations here on earth clinic, which I integrated in my remedy list.
If you want to share other renedies that worked for you, especially reducing the blood loss, please let me know.
Keep fighting for my uterus!

Alkalizing Cleanse for Fibroids
Kris (Phoenix, AZ) on 05/10/2024
Consider doing a 90 day cleanse to alkalinize the body with either Wheat Grass Juice Powder or Green Barley Juice in 8-12oz of water 3-4x a day along with a high fiber diet with no sugar or simple carbohydrates. Also, consider taking either Nattokinase or Serrapeptase 2,000-4,000 fu daily, which are proteolytic enzymes, to help break up and dissolve the protein-based tumors. Consider going through a parasite cleanse x10 days, off 10 days; repeat 10 days at least 2x a year. Parasites are protein based also and doing a cleanse would be a smart thing to do. The tumors didn't develop overnight, so it's going to require some patience and take time to get rid of them. I have done this myself and had incredible results.
Blackstrap Molasses, Turmeric, Castor Oil for Submucosal Fibroid
HumbleHippie (Nashville, TN) on 10/24/2023
Let me begin w a little background. I am 39 years old, 120 lbs, and have 2 children. 12 years ago diagnosed hypothyroid. Have had trouble regulating levels for the past several years. About 10 years ago I had a bilateral oopherectomy removal of left ovary and fallopian tube along with a noncancerous grapefruit sized cyst that I believed was caused by an IUD. A couple of years later I had the right fallopian tube removed for sterilization and to reduce cancer risk.
The past several years I have been seeing doctors to find what's wrong with me. Horrible night sweats, intense stabbing cramps, extreme fatigue sleeping for 16+ hours at once, blood clots and heavy bleeding, back pain, pain when going to the bathroom, ect. Finally I had an ultrasound last Friday 10/20/23 and they found a 2.4" submucosal fibroid, a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, and 2 masses on my cervix. I am terrified. Follow up app tomorrow. MRI next Thursday.
I do belive in the healing power of nature and have found relief through testimony on earth clinic in the past and have come up with a self healing regime. I start today. Black strap Molasses unsulphered 1 tsp morning and night. 1 tsp ground turmeric in juice of 1 lemon and 1 tbsp ACV w the mother once a day. Castor oil rubbed into lower belly after shower every day I am not bleeding. I am also going to make a pitcher of green tea to have on hand and drink throughout the day as well as beet juice when I can afford it. I hope it's possible to heal myself. I do not want surgery let alone a hysterectomy. Thank you everyone who contributed to my herbal plan and please send healing to me. I will post an update after I receive my MRI results. ð

Pickled Beets Helped for Fibroid Bleeding
Bethany (San Diego, Ca) on 12/18/2018
It’s easy to prepare if you buy picked beets in a can, then thinly slice (or use a mandolin) red onions. Put sliced red onion and beets, including the juice, into a container (glass or stainless steel is what I use ) and marinate for at least one day, a few more days for extra flavor (note it is good for a long, long time afterwards ). We have a large family so I use 2-3 red onions and a large can of pickled beets (the largest they sell at Smart & Final). Now I’m a busy mom, so I do it the easy way, by buying a can of already pickled beets and adding the red onion (fresh) the way that my mom taught me. However you can make it yourself with fresh beets and red onion, but that way is messy but perhaps healthier if you use fresh beets. My mom made it that way for years but the switched to this recipe. Whichever way you like, but please note the pickled beets in a can worked for me.
Anyways, I ate beets on Thanksgiving, and a few days afterwards I ate the leftovers and all the beets (around four regular helpings I would say). Then after all the beets were gone for some reason I was compelled to drink the beet juice it had been sitting in (which I had never done before).
That weekend my ovary or uterus started throbbing painfully, man that hurt! And then I started bleeding the heaviest I ever had with sorry, TMI, globs coming out as well. Tampon and pad getting soaked and needing to be changed almost hourly. I was worried, as was my husband as we have no insurance. That lasted 3 days and then.....drumroll...I stopped bleeding all together! Total days I bled was 43 days (with maybe a random day or two dry here or there). It’s now been almost two weeks with no bleeding.
So researching and reading online somewhere trying to figure out if I had fibroids or cysts, I ran across a recipe for beets and honey drink for fibroid issues. I remembered the beets I ate and the beet juice that I drank and think that is what helped me. So my insides, ovaries or uterus started hurting like before, so I just ate a bunch more of my pickled beets this afternoon, and drank some / a lot of the juice it was sitting in. I’ll be making more pickled beets for Christmas (as this is a family favorite). However I will be eating more beets regularly. I will try to remember to post in the future if this helped in the long run.
Blackstrap Molasses for Fibroids Payal (California ) on 10/21/2018
I read about BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES AND STARTED UNSULPHURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES YESTERDAY - I got my period today AND I cannot believe it - its lightest of the light, I don't feel bloated, heavy tired, I am not sighing and groaning as I normally do. I have started taking 1 spoon AM and 1 spoon PM with warm water and I have just taken 2 spoons - MY UTERUS IS SINGING - my body can feel the difference. I have read 2-3 firm testimonials of women who cured and dissolved their FIBROID TUMOURS with Blackstrap Molasses. I can confirm that with 1st 2 spoons my UTERUS is singing, my periods are the lightest ever and I am sitting down to share this - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RUSH AND GET A BOTTLE OF UNSULPHURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES AND TAKE 2 SPOONS A DAY AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF AND REPORT progress. BSM is very very rich in IRON, and a host of antioxidants and VIT B6 which increases progesterone. 1 IMP matter to note here and all women will already know this - if you take any IRON supplement, your periods will end up much more heavy hence I always avoided iron supplements and used to rely on beet juice, carrot juice, wheatgrass juice and lots of VIT C. Now I am using only BSM because it has all the IRON a woman needs. If you wish, only if you wish you may add carrots, beets, aloe vera juice to your drink. I don;t
I am using only BSM and it has come as a life saver and a miracle.
I am very very confident that if bleeding is controlled - then it can shrink fibroids. BSM is very very rich in antioxidants and B6 that balance PH levels inside the uterus.
I am NOT taking any other medicines or anything else - I just stopped diary and meat and eggs and continue with vegetables. I was taking VIT B6 but BSM is doing far far far better than VIT B6 so I have stopped VIT B6.
If for some reason it is not working for you - stop and check what else are you taking that is not letting BSM work.. is it birth control pills or something else hormonal. Stop that and continue with BSM
I will share my feedback in 2-3 months if I notice a reduction in the size but the way day 2 has gone, I am very very confident that BSM is doing something awesome to clean up the uterus and the pelvic area.
Please take BSM and continue this thread - I have tried every other remedy last 7-8 years and nothing has worked to reduce Fibroids or the blood flow. The only thing that helped me so far is VIT B6 but BSM is working at a level far higher than VIT B6.
Brand I used was Aunt Pattys Unsulphured Organic Blackstrap Molasses from whole foods for $4.99 for 12 ounces - if you can't get this one, use ANY UNSULPHURED BRAND.
The PH level of the Uterus is somehow magically getting reset by BSM - ls report back - I think anything that reduces the flow and emptying and flooding during periods is the right way to shrink fibroids. It shows that it knows how to handle the ECO-SYSTEM.
Contrary to what most Doctors may not tell you - HEAVY PERIODS puts all women at much higher risk for all kinds of PEVLIC AREA cancers
In fact that's why I started VIT B6 to control and reduce the flow by medication.
BSM has just taken charge of my uterus and I believe it can set right the ecosystem, GOD BLESS, GOOD LUCK, PLEASE PASS THIS ONTO EVERY WOMAN WHO IS SUFFERRING OUT THERE AND IS HAVING FIBROIDS, CYSTS AND HEAVY BLEEDING.
I have gotten my life back.
Thanks,

Apple Cider Vinegar for Fibroids Seems to Be Causing Pelvic Pain

Better But With Side Effects
Multiple Remedies Helping to Shrink Fibroids Estro (Az) on 01/25/2017
I have been diagnosed with Fibroids about 4 years ago. I had 3 measuring about 5cm, 4cm and the last one 3cm.
At the point of my diagnosis I was only 25 and was having very heavy periods with extremely big clots. I seeked the help of Traditional Chinese Medicine and didnt follow through too welll as I often forgot to take my medication and it tasted putrid. I was single then and it didn't really hit me that fibroids can potentially cause infertility.
Now, im married and TTC for about a year, after trying and trying without success, I decided to research on natural remedies to help shrink fibroids. I also went for a scan to check the size of my fibroids before embarking on the natural route to shrinking my fibroids. They were 6cm+, 5cm+ and 3cm+ (they had grown)
I started taking
- ACV(apple cider vinegar) organic and raw brand + BSM (blackstrap mollasses, unsulphated and organic) + manuka honey, once or twice daily.
- Iodine (read that it helps)
- EPO
- Flaxseed Oil
- Cut out meat as much as I could and only eat organic meats when I do have them
- Matcha powder with ginger, tumeric and cinnamon (made into a drink)
- vitamin C
- Serrazyme
- DIM
- nattokinase
- tumeric tablets
- Vitex (chasteberry capsules)
- milk thistle to cleanse the liver at night
- Dandelion Drops
I did all this continuously for about a month and a half up till now and even brought them on holiday trips. I recently went for a Pelvic Ultrasound and intravaginal and they found that 2 of my fibroids were 4-ish cm and the third was 3cm. To me, this was a big improvement. my periods are way lighter and alot less painful and clots reduced by 90%.
I told myself that I'd pay it forward and share my experience with everyone going through the same pain and struggles as I am. I am religiously continuing the above remedies daily without fail and have changed my diet to fruit juices as far as possible (orange, apple, ginger, pineapple, a dash of tumeric, flax and chia seeds)
Last but not least, I do castor oil packs daily when my AF is over.
I hope this helps those struggling with fibroids.

Exercise, Stress Reduction and Dietary Changes Healed Fibroids!
Abigail (Florida) on 10/11/2016
My fibroids had caused me a miscarriage and was hurting my back . I did those changes for a summer, not only did I lose about 30 lbs bit when I went for check up, fibroids were almost non existent. The point of natural remedy is to decrease the estrogen. Stress, animal foods etc. Feed fibroids. Don't feed the fibroids and they will shrink. Since all that success I started talking to that bloke again.. needless to say I feel a small one but I'm getting rid of him for good. For me that's my source if stress. Good luck.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Dietary Changes for Fibroids
Michaela (Bucharest) on 10/05/2016
I discovered fibroid couple years ago..it was only 2 cm and didn't cause much issues...but after 2 or 3 years, at my last check up, it was about 5.5 cm ...not to mention the discomfort and pain I had lately...during my period or intercourse. So after doing some internet research, I found the apple cider vinegar suggestion...so I'm currently taking this from 3 months now...pain is almost gone. I also take primrose oil pills and slices of cucumber in my water because its a good anti-inflammatory cure. I also cut meat consumption...try to eat only twice per week lean chicken...bc I also noticed that whenever I try to consume more meat, the pain starts to bug me even if I still take my ACV. Now, I'm living in a country where organic meat is very rare to find or very expaensive....my question is, am I really punished not to eat meat all my life now because of this stupid fibroid?? Can someone advise in this matter??

Apple Cider Vinegar, Blackstrap Molasses for Fibroids and Period Pain
Sue (Pittsburgh) on 03/27/2016
ALL THE PRAISE TO GOD! I have been taking 1 to 2 tablespoons of Black Strap Molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar for just about 2 months and I am having the very best period I have had in decades! I am still taking Motrin but only for a dull ache, not the stabbing knife twisting pain that I used to experience on my left ovary. I am so gratefully to God for Earth Clinic and for all of you who post cures here to help each other!
Apple Cider Vinegar, Blackstrap Molasses for Fibroids
Ozy (Toronto, Canada) on 12/08/2015
The first month after the ACV regime, periods lasted about 10 days and the cloting/gushing was reduced. So I continued to taking every day.
The second month, period was more painful that I ever experienced on the second day, I though I had appendicitis. First round lasted for 7 days and I thought this thing is working but then, just when I thought bleeding was coming to an end, I will go to the washroom to pee and gess what? A flood. I thank God I was at home those days. For the next week, I will still be clotting so that at some point I thought periods was staring all over again...
I was so scared I stopped the ACV and the BSM and called my Gyn. She gave me something (tranexamic acid) to stop the bleeding and I will be going for U/S with next period. She is also suggesting Fibristal, but I am not very exited about it. Has anyone experienced it? Is it effective? Surgery is not an option.
I really don't know what do to shrink the fibroid anymore...I hope there was a natural solution for me, but my experience with ACV is that since it's a blood thinner, it's probably the reason I experienced prolonged bleeding. I would like to know if it is something to be taken everyday or only during the period? I am OK with the taste of BSM ut it is making me feel bloated, but I taking in on an off, just because I am iron deficient.
Thank you for reading my post.
Homeopathy for Fibroids
Annie (London) on 11/30/2015
After reading Ann's (Calgary) testimony, I decided to give Medorrhinum 1M ago for fibroids. I had a myomectomy 8 years ago but the fibroids grew back bigger and lots of them...with all the discomfort: anaemia, tiredness, constipation from iron tablets....
I took 3 pellets on 11 /11/15. I was sleeping longer but was sharp and fit upon waking up. Which is a miracle!
I took the 2nd dose on 25/11/15 ( my periods began that same day and came so calmly with no pain or symptoms at all! ). The 26/11/15 evening I started bleeding profusely with a lot of fresh looking clots but no pain! The more I bled, the better I felt. For the first time ever I didn't feel tired or weak after bleeding so much! My swollen stomach went physically down. My hair and nails grew stronger and looked cleaner, I could clean, tidy and cook, read. Usually I am bed bound in pain and can' t lift a finger!
My elimination is perfect (after every meal) or just after a walk! My mind is clearer, I can now read and remember...
I made a mistake with the first dose and took my iron and Vit D3 tablets 2 days after taking it. I felt very uncomfortable. I stop. Last Saturday(28/11/15) I felt sick and vomitted at night 11.45pm) but I was rather relieved afterwards and slept like a baby.
I am fit and look refreshed and "clean" usually I look weak and tired during and after my periods....
I read that you should not drink coffee and herbal teas with Medorrhinum. How long after taking it can I have coffee/herbal teas? I used to drink a lot of green tea, milk thistle... and ground coffee every now and then. I sometimes do crave coffee in this weather...
I also used to massage my lower abdomen with some essential oils. When is it ok to resume?
Are there other "Don'ts" when taking Medorrhinum? Please share with us. I will update my progress and hope everything goes well and will help somebody else. Thanks. Annie.
