Herbs for shrinking and easing the symptoms of fibroids- part 3 Licorice Root is used to treat fluid retention, helping with bloating and weight gain during menstruation. The Mjölbolsta Hospital found people taking Licorice over 8 weeks retained less water and normalized blood pressure levels. Licorice Root is also used to calm the digestion, and when combined with Red Clover, supports the liver in breaking down excess estrogen. Burdock Root is another blood purifying herb, used to support the liver and detoxify excess estrogen and xenoestrogens. It also has diuretic qualities, which help the body get rid of retained water, reducing bloating and swelling. Its anti-inflammatory properties also assist in shrinking fibroids in size. Burdock Root is rich in Arctigenin, which inhibits the growth of tumors. Goldenseal helps to keep the uterus free of inflammation and infection. It has been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans for skin problems. It is also used to maintain the health of mucus membranes – the tissue surrounding the internal genitals. The berberine in Goldenseal is antibacterial and antiviral, which helps the body fight infection and strengthens the immune system, especially when combined with Echinacea. Echinacea has been used for over 400 years as a general cure-all. Recent studies sugest that Echinacea enchances the immune system, reduces inflammation and relieves pain. For example, the Phytomedicine Journal reported a double-blind study in which subjects given Echinacea increased the functioning of the immune system by 120%. Additionally researchers in Germany found that large doses of echiacea healed wounds completely in just 7 days. Echinacea has also been used to control benign growths and tumors such as fibroids.� tinyurl/p6shd9u
