I was wondering if anyone had problems with fibroids, I was diagnosed with them yesterday. They have been causing some problems for me for quite awhile. I have heard of taking vitex to shrink them, but can't find the dosage. Thank you for any help, I am terrified of going ahead with a hysterectomy.

Hi Lorrie,
I would recommend that you consider getting professional help with your treatment. An acupuncturist, naturopath or a macrobiotic councillor could help you determine a treatment strategy.

It would be a challenge for you to try to figure it out on your own without any experience. You may be incurring an unneeded risk by just trying an herbal regime like vitex. (We use it under some circumstances but never alone.)

The superhero plan is a great way to start the process and Alicia's tea could help you with all the symptoms they cause. The superhero plan is associated with balancing the female reproductive system and you would see improvements in your symptoms in a month or two.

I suggest you avoid dairy like the plague.

Thank you so much for answering my questions. I will definately have some type of professional help, but I still want to learn all I can.

Looks like I am having surgery this Thursday, and I am a big chicken. I now it will be nice to be pain free, but the trip there is hard also.
