Uterine fibroids (adjunct)

3 plants

Ask Assistant about this

Bulk symptoms, heavy bleeding, and fertility plans are gyn. Tranexamic acid and hormonal options still exist. Ginger is a dysmenorrhea adjunct on bleed days — and a bleeding theoretical at extract dose, which is ironic if they already flood. Chaste tree does not shrink fibroids. Dong quai bleeds. Wild yam cream is not progesterone.

Primary plants

  1. Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

    GingerHuman data

    Zingiber officinale

    Dysmenorrhea RCT file for the pain days. Not a myoma drug. Extract bleeding caution if they already soak pads.

    Typical. Dried powder 750–2000 mg/day divided days 1–3 if pain leads.

    Safety. Extracts: bleeding.

Supportive plants2
  • Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus)
    Chaste treeHuman data
    Vitex agnus-castus

    Cycle-pattern plant if PMS-type leftovers exist. Does not shrink fibroids.

    Typical. 20–40 mg/day over months.

    Safety. Pregnancy, hormone-sensitive cancer.

  • Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)
    Stinging nettleStrong traditional
    Urtica dioica

    Leaf tea as traditional astringent/iron-food folklore while you actually replace iron.

    Typical. Leaf tea.

    Safety. Not a hemoglobin.

Clinical notes

  • Wild yam does not convert to progesterone on the skin. A fibroid that fills the pelvis is not a bitter.

When this is not enough

  • Soaking through hourly, pregnancy with fibroids, postmenopausal growth, hydronephrosis, transfusion-range hemoglobin
