    2. Uterine Fibroids Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that can cause heavy bleeding and/or grow large enough to impinge on other organs They are hormone-dependent and will often shrink naturally after menopause if the woman is not using Hormone Replacement Therapy

    3. Symptoms Heavy menstrual bleeding Enlarged uterus Pressure on rectum, bladder or ovaries causing pain, constipation and urinary problems Pain during intercourse Some women become anemic due to blood loss

    4. How is homeopathy different than regular medical treatment or herbs? HOLISTIC- each person is an individual NO SIDE EFFECTS-side effects of drugs Often heals other ailments besides the ones being treated Herbs: every one gets the same herb and a crude dose

    5. The Homeopathic Difference Homeopathy addresses the issue, rather than just symptoms. Powerful, gentle, effective, safe, natural FDA approved/gentle enough even for newborns and the elderly You don’t need to suffer with heavy bleeding and pain You can choose a very safe, effective way to address these issues without worrying about side effects

    6. Surgery: Weighing the Pros and Cons Myomectomy cuts out the fibroids without removing the uterus – but fibroids often grow back Hysterectomy stops the bleeding, but can result in more hot flashes, loss of energy, and loss of libido Hormone Replacement Therapy may be needed after a hysterectomy  

    7. The Goal of Homeopathy  To arrest the development of the fibroids, and to shrink them until natural postmenopausal shrinking occurs To avoid surgery, leaving the uterus and ovaries intact

    8. Other helpful diet and lifestyle changes: Eat less red meat and high-fat foods Eat more fish, chicken, whole grains and vegetables Avoid caffeine: coffee, colas, chocolate, and tea Avoid dairy products, especially from cows that have been treated with hormones

    9. What exactly is Homeopathy?

    10. While 60% of homeopathic medicines do originally come from plants, they act very differently to herbal medicines. Only a small amount of the original substance is used, thus homeopathic medicine has NO side effects and can even be safely used during pregnancy, when under the supervision of a homeopathic practitioner.

    11. Homeopathic medicines are derived from plants, minerals, animals, viruses, etc There are over 6000 different homeopathic medicines and new medicines being discovered and “proved” all the time. The process of potentization makes homeopathic medicines more powerful, reducing the need for daily doses.

    12. However, unlike allopathic medicine, where drugs are continuously removed from the market and replaced by new ones once their side effects have been discovered, homeopaths are still using the same tried and tested homeopathic medicines we used 200 years ago. However, we are continually adding to our growing materia medica, allowing us a greater scope of practice.

    13. Homeopathy is actually over 200 years old. Homeopathy originated in Germany In 1796 a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick, which he called homeopathy (from the Greek words meaning ‘similar suffering’).

    14. Your homeopath will select a remedy especially chosen for you, as an individual, based on the totality of your symptoms as well as your physical, mental and emotional state. This remedy strengthens the immune system to restore a healthy balance and sense of well-being.

    15. A Case of Ustalago Maydis Symptoms: Heavy menstrual bleeding with dark red ropy clots Extreme menstrual cramping and backache Pain during intercourse Uterus enlarged to the equivalent of 12 weeks gestation due to fibroids Short menstrual cycle with frequent periods Hair falling from head

    16. The remedy Ustilago Maydis was chosen

    17. Ustilago Maydis Results of treatment: Fibroids stopped growing and even diminished in size. Heavy menstrual bleeding and clotting lessened Pain during intercourse rarely felt and much less intense Cramping during menstrual period alleviated Hair stopped falling Surgery was avoided

    18. A case of Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum (double chloride of Gold and Sodium) Symptoms: Depressed for 3 years. Feels like she just doesn’t care anymore. Enlarged uterus with fibroids Anemia due to excessive bleeding Excessive perspiration High blood pressure Listening to music “helps me get through things”

    19. Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum Common symptoms of the remedy: Depression resulting from some type of grief or disappointment in love Enlarged uterus due to fibroids Excessive perspiration Some less common symptoms: High blood pressure Music improves the mood

    20. Individualistic treatment, the Gem in Homeopathy While you may relate to features in one or both cases; it is important to realize that Homeopathy is extremely individualistic, and that there are many homeopathic remedies to treat uterine fibroids. The remedy that will be best suited for you is the one that not only matches your specific symptoms, but also matches you as a person.
