Do you know that every year, at least nine million people in the world visit their doctor in search of UTI treatment? For the most part, doctors prescribe only one form of UTI treatment: antibiotics. If this works for you, well and good. The problem with antibiotics, however, is that it only works for everyone at the start.

These are the questions which came up to my mind when my friend suggested that I go in for nature cure for fibroids instead of conventional medicines.One of the most popular home remedy for uterine fibroid treatment is to undergo liver detox. It is believed that estrogen mimicking compounds often tend to become locked in the liver which fuels the growth of fibroids. These compounds are basically derived from environmental toxins and pesticide residues.Fibroids are believed to grow in response to the female hormone estrogen. Hence fibroids tend to shrink post menopause since estrogen levels in the body decline during that time. The best part of using herbal uterine fibroid methods is the fact that you can combine this type of treatment with other methods of fibroid cure.This herb is useful in liver detoxification. Liver is the main organ responsible for breaking down the excess estrogen in our body.
