About this program

Uterine fibroids are strongly linked to estrogen dominance — a relative excess of estrogen compared to progesterone, often compounded by a liver that isn't clearing used hormones efficiently, blood stagnation in the pelvic area, and low-grade chronic inflammation. At 90 days, this is by far the longest program in the catalog, which reflects biological reality rather than an arbitrary choice: fibroid tissue and hormone balance both change on a timescale of months, not days. Vitex and wild yam support hormonal balance, milk thistle addresses liver clearance of estrogen, ashoka and shepherd's purse are classic Ayurvedic and Western herbs for uterine health, and dan shen (red sage) and manjistha support healthy pelvic blood flow.

How it works

Eliminate & Prepare removes common estrogen-disrupting dietary and environmental factors while liver-support herbs begin working; Active Hormonal Rebalancing is the long middle phase — by far the largest portion of the 90 days — where the full herbal combination works to shift the progesterone:estrogen ratio and improve pelvic circulation; and Consolidation maintains the new hormonal pattern once meaningful change has had time to establish.

Goal

Address the four root causes of uterine fibroids — estrogen dominance, poor liver clearance of used hormones, blood stagnation in the uterus, and chronic pelvic inflammation — through targeted herbal intervention, dietary elimination, and lymphatic support.

Benefits

Reduced fibroid size over 3–6 monthsSignificantly lighter menstrual bleedingReduced menstrual cramping and painImproved cycle regularityReduced pelvic pressure and bloatingBetter hormonal balance (progesterone:estrogen ratio)Improved fertility outcomesReduced need for surgical intervention

Is this right for you?

Some dietary discipline required — best if you've completed a gentle program before.

Best suited to those with a confirmed fibroid diagnosis working alongside a gynecologist, using this as a complementary approach rather than a replacement for medical monitoring — fibroid size and symptoms should be tracked by a provider throughout, not just self-assessed.

🌅

Morning Flush

On waking

500ml warm water with fresh lemon juice

Vitex & Red Clover Hormone Tea — steep 8–10 min before breakfast

Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry) (Vitex agnus-castus) — Regulates the pituitary-ovarian axis — raises progesterone and lowers excess estrogen to shrink estrogen-fed fibroids

Ashoka (Saraca asoca) — Ayurvedic uterine tonic — reduces heavy bleeding, calms uterine muscle spasm, and is specifically indicated for fibroids in classical texts

Shepherd's Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) — Haemostatic herb that rapidly reduces fibroid-related heavy menstrual bleeding

🥗

Midday Support

With lunch

Favor: Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts), Ground flaxseed, Pumpkin seeds, Organic dark leafy greens

Ashoka & Wild Yam Women's Tea — steep 8–10 min

Dan Shen (Red Sage) (Salvia miltiorrhiza) — TCM blood-moving herb that reduces uterine blood stagnation — the primary TCM mechanism behind fibroid growth

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) — Supports hepatic estrogen clearance — a sluggish liver recycles used estrogens back into circulation, feeding fibroids

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) — Natural progesterone precursor — diosgenin balances the estrogen-progesterone ratio that drives fibroid proliferation

🌙

Wind Down

Evening

Dan Shen & Manjistha Circulation Tea — steep 8–10 min

Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) — Moves stagnant blood in the pelvic cavity and reduces chronic pelvic inflammation that sustains fibroid growth

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) — Isoflavones compete with estradiol at receptor sites — phytoestrogens are 100–1000× weaker than estradiol, effectively diluting the estrogen signal to fibroids

Avoid food 2–3 hours before bed to support overnight detoxification

Dan Shen (Red Sage)

Salvia miltiorrhiza

TCM blood-moving herb that reduces uterine blood stagnation — the primary TCM mechanism behind fibroid growth

Full herb profile

Milk Thistle

Silybum marianum

Supports hepatic estrogen clearance — a sluggish liver recycles used estrogens back into circulation, feeding fibroids

Used in this program

  • Begin Milk Thistle (200mg silymarin) twice daily — the liver must be cleared first before hormone rebalancing can occur.
  • Continue Vitex, Ashoka, and Milk Thistle as the ongoing hormonal maintenance trio.

Full herb profile

Wild Yam

Dioscorea villosa

Natural progesterone precursor — diosgenin balances the estrogen-progesterone ratio that drives fibroid proliferation

Used in this program

  • Take Wild Yam tincture (2ml) twice daily — supports natural progesterone production.

Full herb profile

Manjistha

Rubia cordifolia

Moves stagnant blood in the pelvic cavity and reduces chronic pelvic inflammation that sustains fibroid growth

Used in this program

  • Brew Dan Shen + Manjistha decoction daily — TCM blood-moving combination for uterine stagnation.

Full herb profile

Red Clover

Trifolium pratense

Isoflavones compete with estradiol at receptor sites — phytoestrogens are 100–1000× weaker than estradiol, effectively diluting the estrogen signal to fibroids

Used in this program

  • Add Red Clover tea (3 cups daily) throughout this phase to occupy and block estrogen receptors.

Eliminate & Prepare

Days 1–21

Completely remove synthetic estrogens: hormonal contraceptives (discuss with doctor), plastics (BPA leaches estrogen), conventional meat and dairy (fed with estrogen hormones), and pesticide-heavy produce.

Begin Milk Thistle (200mg silymarin) twice daily — the liver must be cleared first before hormone rebalancing can occur.

Start the anti-estrogen diet: cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale) at every meal — DIM compound in crucifers detoxifies estrogens.

Add ground flaxseed (2 tbsp daily) — lignans bind excess estrogen in the gut and prevent reabsorption.

Eliminate alcohol completely — it directly impairs hepatic estrogen clearance by up to 300%.

Remove all soy products — phytoestrogens in processed soy are estrogenic to fibroid tissue.

Begin taking Vitex (400mg) each morning on an empty stomach — must be taken consistently for 3 months minimum to rebalance the pituitary.

Castor oil pack over lower abdomen for 45–60 minutes, 4 evenings per week — stimulates lymphatic drainage and circulation in the uterus.

Active Hormonal Rebalancing

Days 22–60

Continue Vitex throughout — do not miss a dose.

Add Ashoka bark extract (500mg) twice daily — most effective during the luteal phase (second half of cycle).

Take Wild Yam tincture (2ml) twice daily — supports natural progesterone production.

Brew Dan Shen + Manjistha decoction daily — TCM blood-moving combination for uterine stagnation.

For heavy bleeding days: take Shepherd's Purse tincture (30 drops in water, every 2 hours until bleeding reduces).

Add Red Clover tea (3 cups daily) throughout this phase to occupy and block estrogen receptors.

Begin iodine supplementation (150–300mcg Lugol's iodine) — uterine fibroid tissue concentrates iodine deficiency; iodine has been shown to reduce fibroid size.

Introduce seed cycling: Days 1–14 of cycle eat 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds + 1 tbsp flaxseed; Days 15–28 eat 1 tbsp sunflower seeds + 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

Moderate exercise 5x per week — reduces circulating estrogen and improves pelvic circulation.

Consolidation

Days 61–90

Continue Vitex, Ashoka, and Milk Thistle as the ongoing hormonal maintenance trio.

Schedule a pelvic ultrasound at 3 months to assess fibroid size — evidence-based feedback on protocol effectiveness.

Reduce Dan Shen to maintenance dose (1ml daily) unless symptoms persist.

Maintain cruciferous vegetable intake, flaxseed, and castor oil packs at least 2x per week.

Track menstrual cycle symptoms: improved cycle regularity, reduced bleeding, and reduced cramping indicate the protocol is working.

Note: maximum Vitex effectiveness occurs between months 3–6 — continue for 6 months before reassessing.

Sample daily eating

Estrogen-clearing, anti-inflammatory meals — cruciferous vegetables and flaxseed support the liver's ability to metabolize excess estrogen, while omega-3s and antioxidants calm inflammation.

Breakfast

Ground flaxseed stirred into Berries

Green tea with a side of Berries

Lunch

Wild salmon or sardines with Cruciferous vegetables and Legumes

Organic dark leafy greens salad with Pumpkin seeds and Ground flaxseed

Dinner

Wild salmon or sardines with roasted Cruciferous vegetables, Turmeric, and ginger

Legumes with Organic dark leafy greens and Turmeric and ginger

Snacks

Pumpkin seeds

Berries or a cup of Green tea

Work Cruciferous vegetables and Ground flaxseed into meals daily to support healthy estrogen clearance, get omega-3s from Wild salmon and sardines, season generously with Turmeric and ginger, and drink Green tea for its EGCG content — all from Organic sources where possible, per the program's own avoid list on conventional produce.

Supporting teas

Vitex & Red Clover Hormone Tea

Allowed

Build meals around these while following the program.

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)Ground flaxseedPumpkin seedsOrganic dark leafy greensWild salmon and sardines (omega-3 reduces inflammation)Berries (antioxidant-rich)LegumesTurmeric and gingerGreen tea (EGCG inhibits fibroid cell proliferation)Filtered water

Avoid

These work against what this program is trying to achieve.

Alcohol (impairs estrogen clearance)Conventional dairy and meat (synthetic hormones)Processed soy (estrogenic)Refined sugar (promotes inflammation)Refined carbohydratesPlastics for food storage (BPA/BPS are xenoestrogens)Conventional produce (pesticides are estrogenic)Hormonal contraceptives (discuss alternatives with doctor)Fried foods (increase prostaglandins that worsen fibroid bleeding)

Caution

This protocol addresses estrogen dominance but does not replace medical evaluation. If you experience sudden severe pelvic pain, very heavy bleeding (soaking more than 1 pad per hour), or signs of anaemia (extreme fatigue, shortness of breath), seek immediate medical care. Always inform your gynaecologist before beginning. Do not take Vitex if you are on hormonal contraceptives, fertility drugs, or dopamine-affecting medications.
