Uterine fibroids are a significant health concern, particularly for Black women who are disproportionately affected. These non-cancerous growths can lead to severe symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, and may also impact fertility. However, as Dr. Jewel Pookrum emphasizes, fibroids often stem from unresolved emotional trauma, poor dietary habits, and exposure to environmental toxins. True healing requires a holistic approach—addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health.

Incorporating natural remedies like lemon balm and red raspberry leaf, which soothe the uterus, alongside the traditional use of castor oil packs to reduce inflammation, can be powerful tools in managing fibroid symptoms. By adopting a nutrient-rich diet, detoxification practices, and stress management techniques, women can take control of their reproductive health and work towards a life free from the burden of fibroids.
