Treating Uterine
Fibroids with Green Tea Extract
March 29, 2010
Uterine Fibroids treatment with
green tea extracts in rats -
Women in their middle ages often suffer from fibroids in the uterus. This
condition causes serious health problems such as vaginal bleeding,
excessive loss of blood leading to anemia and loss of energy.
The
current effective cure involves the surgical removal of the uterus
(hysterectomy). Many women suffering from this condition are looking
for alternatives to surgery.
A newly published study showed that
green tea extract may be the solution. Researchers found
that green tea extract significantly reduced the number and
size
of fibroids in the rats uterus. This positive result will
ensure that the next
step is taken in conducting human studies.
Green tea is known to contain many active chemicals that have health
benefits such as lowering high
cholesterol and high
blood pressure, treating ovarian cancer, preventing
Parkinson's disease, and possibly preventing breast cancer.
