fibroid – Chinese formula
Different natural remedies for fibroids.
The Gui Zhi Fuling Formula (GZFL) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription that is used to treat a variety of conditions, including: Abdominal mass, Chronic pelvic pain, Fibroids, Severe dysmenorrhea, and PCOS.
The formula is made up of five herbs: Ramulus Cinnamomi, Poria, Semen Persicae, Radix Paeoniae Rubra or Radix Paeoniae Alba, and Cortex Moutan.
The formula’s traditional effects are to invigorate blood, dissolve stasis, and resolve masses
It is commonly prepared as pills, capsules, tablets, or decoctions and widely applied for uterine fibroids in China.
My findings show that GZFL works well with mifepristone drugs in shrinking fibroids. Mifepristone is a drug that blocks a hormone called progesterone, and it has been shown to decrease fibroid size. Guizhi Fuling Formula appears to have additional benefit based on mifepristone treatment in reducing volume of fibroids.
