Causes

Causes as per modern science

• Excessive intake of non vegetarian diet
• Excessive intake of sweet, oily, fatty food
• Lack of exercise
• Lack of routine in sleeping & meal timings

Ayurveda prespective

• All above mentioned causes increase Kapha (biological energy responsible for creating structures) production in body.
• This excessive Kapha weakens powers of Pitta(biological energy responsible for transformations)
• When this increased Kapha & weakened Pitta reaches reproductive system,the increased Kapha accelerates excessive smooth muscle production in uterus.
• But because Pitta which is responsible for healthy transformations is weak, quality of this smooth muscle is not good.
• There is formation of fibrous tissue which is hard & of low quality. Smooth muscles involved in formation of fibroid are also very dense due to increased Kapha.
• Increased Kapha slows down egg production at ovary & weak pitta fails to rupture the egg on time. As a result, the cysts start to develop inside the uterine muscles & these cysts are known as Fibroids.

Treatment

Ayurveda has a permanent cure for Fibroids. There is no need to opt for surgery when you have 100% natural, herbal formulations that ensure completely recovery plus prevent recurrence. Certain herbs such as Varuna & Gandhari help to directly dissolve fibroids. In addition, there are Ayurvedic formulations that helps arrest heavy bleeding and also regulate the periods cycle.
