Fibroids (TREATMENT FOR WOMEN)

Uterine fibroids (called "Granthi" or "Arbuda" in Ayurveda) are non-cancerous growths in the uterus caused by Kapha and Vata imbalance, along with accumulation of Ama (toxins). Symptoms may include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and sometimes infertility.
Ayurveda aims to shrink fibroids, balance hormones, and strengthen the uterus through herbal remedies, detox therapies, and diet-lifestyle changes.

Ayurvedic Treatment Approach:
1. Panchakarma Detox Therapies
• Virechana (Therapeutic purgation) – Eliminates Pitta and hormonal toxins
• Basti (Medicated enema) – Balances Vata and reduces fibroid growth
• Uttara Basti – Specialized enema through vaginal route (under strict supervision) to directly address uterine health

2. Herbal Medicines
• Kanchnar Guggulu – Breaks down fibroid mass and clears Kapha accumulation
• Ashoka (Saraca indica) – Regulates menstrual cycle and tones uterus
• Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) – Reduces inflammation and bleeding
• Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) – Balances female hormones and strengthens endometrium
• Triphala & Punarnava – Improve metabolism and reduce swelling

Diet & Lifestyle Guidelines:
• Eat: Warm, light, digestible foods; green vegetables, turmeric, moong dal, barley
• Avoid: Cold, fried, and heavy foods; dairy; refined sugars; soy; and processed meats
• Exercise regularly and practice yoga (e.g., Supta Baddha Konasana, Setu Bandhasana)
• Manage stress through Pranayama, meditation, and early sleeping habits
