🌺 Understanding & Supporting Your Body
What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids are non‑cancerous growths made of muscle and tissue that form in the wall of the uterus. They’re very common and can sometimes cause:
-
Painful periods
-
Heavy menstrual bleeding
-
Abdominal bloating or swelling
-
Spotting between cycles
Fibroids are actually the leading reason many women undergo hysterectomies, so learning about them is an important step in protecting your health.
🌿 Why Estrogen Matters
Estrogen naturally stimulates uterine tissue. When levels get too high—or when the body struggles to clear excess estrogen—fibroids can grow more easily. One big culprit? Xenoestrogens. These are man‑made chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body and can throw off your hormonal balance.
💡 Everyday Tips to Reduce Xenoestrogen Exposure
-
Choose glass or stainless steel instead of microwaving food in plastic.
-
Go organic when possible to lower pesticide and hormone residues in food.
-
Check your personal care products (shampoos, lotions, cosmetics) for hidden hormone‑disrupting chemicals.
-
Limit processed meats and dairy that may contain added hormones.

🌱 Gentle Detox Support
Your liver works hard to break down hormones and toxins. You can support it by:
-
You can help your liver rid your body of xenoestrogens and other toxins by supporting it with appropriate herbs and supplements. Cellular Detox is a great formula for helping the liver get toxins, like xenoestrogens, out of the body. Enviro-Detox is another formula that may help.
-
You will detoxify faster if you also take a fiber supplement like Everybody's Fiber. Fiber binds toxins, including xenoestrogens, in the intestines and carries them out of the body.
- Indole-3-carbynol, which enhance the liver's ability to break down excess estrogens in the system should also be considered.
- Staying hydrated and choosing whole, nutrient‑dense foods.
🌸 Herbal Allies
Some women find relief with herbs traditionally used for menstrual health:
-
Yarrow: helps reduce heavy bleeding and supports circulation.
-
Menstrual Reg: may ease symptoms of heavy periods.
(Always check with a qualified health professional before starting herbs or supplements.)
✨ Key Takeaway
Fibroids are common, but you are not powerless. By reducing exposure to xenoestrogens, nourishing your liver, and exploring gentle herbal support, you can take meaningful steps toward balance and comfort. Think of it as giving your body a cleaner, calmer environment to thrive in.
