2 weeks ago, I started drinking a tea recipe I made on a whim twice a day to help shrink and dissolve a fibroid (could be more than one) that’s at least the size of a large grapefruit but smaller than a basketball.
It worked. I know it has because this past cycle whooped my ass but I started passing what was sitting in my womb for years.
I’ve been dealing with womb dysfunction since at least 2010. I went from having ovarian cysts on my fallopian tubes while I was on birth control (2007-2015) to fibroids developing in 2013.
They were never officially diagnosed by a doctor because my requests were ignored by military physicians. I started doing my own research, taking holistic courses, paying attention to my body over the years, then getting into a motorcycle accident 2yrs ago and having an x-ray confirm what I already knew.
I’ve tried many different approaches to help shrink my fibroids but I was never consistent with my herbal remedies. However, I was consistently eating plant based foods from 2016-2022. What I noticed back then while maintaining my diet was that my fibroids did not grow nor did I have any terrible physical symptoms at the time. I did not drink any herbal teas or take any capsules until late 2017 and that’s when I passed one.
I was in shock but I knew it was “that thing” that made me bleed in between my periods and made my left side ache from time to time. After that, I kept the same routine until about 2019. During that entire time, I was battling undiagnosed PTSD from a deployment, deep depression and going through a spiritual awakening all at once….
In 2019, I discovered vaginal steaming and the amazing benefits it offered and immediately hopped on it and became a certified Peristeam Practitioner. I tried it and it worked too…..However, Aunty was not consistent…..again. My life & work balance was terrible and I was paying with my health.
Fast forward from 2019 and everything in between to present day, I’ve been fighting with these fibroids and it/they have grown and I finally decided they gotta go for good!!!
It took for me to have a very sh*tty night almost a week ago to remind myself that I have the knowledge and courage to start over. I’ve started over many times in my lifetime but not how I did a few nights ago….WHEW!!!
In the past 2 weeks, I’ve cut back on processed foods.
I cut out refined sugar and most dairy. Not all off it yet.
I drink herbal tea 2x a day. Morning and night.
I incorporated green foods, okra and aloe into my diet as well.
Now that my period is over, I will be using castor oil packs again (it’s messy), tinctures, capsules and vaginal steaming as well and tailor my regime accordingly. In 3 months, I’ll make an update post.
