St. Johns Bush for Fibroids
Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the womb. While some women experience symptoms, it’s actually more common for fibroids to remain asymptomatic, only being discovered when a woman faces challenges with infertility while trying to conceive. For those who do have symptoms, the most common ones include heavy and painful periods, abdominal and lower back pain, discomfort during sex, and frequent urination.
The understanding of fibroids is severely under-researched, largely due to the systemic racism and sexism embedded in Western medicine—an issue that disproportionately affects women, particularly Black women. This lack of research is deeply connected to the stress and trauma that Black women often endure due to racism, displacement, discrimination, and diaspora throughout their lives. These experiences can impact their progesterone levels, as progesterone is a precursor to cortisol- the stress hormone. When cortisol levels rise due to stress, progesterone levels decrease, disrupting the delicate balance necessary for healthy reproductive function.
Existing research suggests that fibroids are estrogen-dependent, as they do not typically occur in women before puberty or after menopause. However, the relationship between estrogen and fibroid biology is complex, involving several other factors such as progesterone, growth factors, and genetic and epigenetic influences. Generally, when estrogen levels are too high and there isn’t enough progesterone to balance them, the conditions become favorable for fibroid development and growth.
St. John’s Bush is a powerful womb cleanser and strengthener that can help eliminate unwanted growths like fibroids. Its phytochemical properties closely mimic those of estrogen and progesterone, assisting in the natural balancing of hormone levels to shrink and heal fibroid developments. its anti-inflammatory and alkalizing properties support overall bodily health and well-being.
