FIBROIDS:
Herbal and home remedies are simple, safe ways to help you when you have a diagnosis of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are solid muscle tissue growths in the uterus. They are also called fibroid tumors, myomas, or leiomyomas. Fibroids occur so frequently (in up to half of all women over forty) that they could be considered a normal irregularity. The occasional fibroid can become enormous (medical literature reports one that was 100 pounds!), but the majority (80%) remain as small as a walnut.
Fibroids are the number one reason Nigerian women have hysterectomies.
The causes of uterine fibroids are unknown, but estrogens, especially estradiol, promote their growth. After menopause, fibroids disappear. But because estrogen levels can rise during the early menopausal years, previously symptomatic fibroids may grow in the years just before the cessation of menses, resulting in symptoms such as feeling of heaviness in the belly, low back pain, pain with vaginal penetration, urinary frequency or incontinence, bowel difficulties, or severe menstrual pain and flooding. Women of color are three to nine times more likely to have fibroids than white women, and theirs will grow more quickly.
Fibroid tumors are not cancer, not malignant. Tumor means a swelling or a growth, not a malignancy, not cancer. Less than 0.1% of all uterine fibroids are malignant. Small fibroids often disappear spontaneously. Larger fibroids are more difficult to resolve, but not impossible to control with natural measures.
The root “chakra" (lower most energy center in the body, which includes the uterus) said to store unexpressed anger. It is believed that any unwanted growths in these organs can be countered by allowing the anger to safely discharge.
One woman's fibroids (and menstrual cramps) disappeared within three months of beginning a vigorous exercise program. Exercise helps insure regular ovulation, and irregular ovulation seems to worsen fibroids. Consuming three or more servings of whole grains or beans daily not only reduces the size of fibroids but offers protection from breast and endometrial cancers as well. Red clover flowers (Trifolium pratense) Strengthening the liver with herbs such as dandelion, milk thistle seed, or yellow dock root helps it metabolize estrogen out of the body, thus reducing fibroids.
Acupuncture treatments can shrink fibroids. Warm castor oil packs on the belly, or ginger compresses (soak a towel in hot ginger water) relieve pain and help shrink the fibroids.
Reduce fibroids by reducing your exposure to estrogen. Major advances have been made in surgical treatments for women with fibroids. Hysterectomy can be a life-saving procedure, but by the age of sixty, more than one-third of Nigerian women will have given up their wombs to the surgeons. With very few exceptions, no woman is healthier without her ovaries. So, even if you elect a hysterectomy, keep your ovaries.

Obesity is defined as an excess of body fat. Being overweight is different from being obese. Overweight refers to excess body weight compared to normal standards. The excess weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Obesity refers specifically to having an abnormally high proportion of body fat.
Body mass index, or BMI, is the measurement used to assess whether a person is overweight or obese. BMI is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. A person is considered overweight if they have a BMI of between 25 and 29.9. A BMI of more than 30 is generally considered a sign of moderate to severe obesity.

Most practitioners use the following BMI ranges as indications that a person is overweight or obese:
BMI 25 to 29.9 (overweight)
BMI 30 to 39.9 (moderately obese)
BMI 40 or above (extremely obese)
