The one question a traditional doctor cannot answer is "why do I have fibroids?" though thankfully there are an increasing number of more progressive doctors who are becoming aware of techniques that can help answer that question.

The trouble is; that getting to the answer involves the one thing most doctors cannot give you - time.

Those who are familiar with the mind body link will not be surprised to know that fibroids are strongly associated with some specific traumas that affect women in a unique way. When the history of a woman with fibroids is examined, it is common to find at least one and often more than one of these traumas lurking in her past.

Whilst there are a number of dietary and lifestyle changes that can help shrink fibroids, the key to getting rid of your fibroids forever is dealing with the underlying cause, tackling and resolving the emotional issues and trauma from the past.

Current medical treatments for fibroids involve dealing with or relieving the symptoms. Unfortunately that can never cure fibroids because the underlying cause can still be there and sadly the final medical solution is often surgical removal or even a hysterectomy.

Cutting out parts of our body is rarely an effective solution as it provides just another thing that our body has to heal from.

Now I realize that most people would rather pull their own teeth than tackle those issues that are lying buried deep in their psyche. People often prefer to hand over responsibility for their healing to strangers rather than deal with or look for a more holistic solution. Even though mind body medicine has become increasingly mainstream many people simply do not know or cannot see that there is an established connection between our psychology and our biology. Often the location of the condition is a key indicator of the nature of the cause.

Once the process is started it gets easier and easier. It helps to have guidance or a friend to help you go through the process with you. The extra bonus is that not only can your fibroids be cured but many other aspects of your life get healed bringing a new sense of joy and optimism to life.
